I recently experienced a profound epiphany while navigating a challenging season in my life, which completely shifted my approach to prayer and Bible study. Join me as I share how immersing myself in Psalms 9 and Revelation 19 reminded me of God's unwavering faithfulness, the purity of His word, and His role as our King of Kings and Lord of Lords. This newfound perspective allowed me to transcend my current circumstances, find...

Negativity such as gossip, manipulation, and negative thinking are all dangerous to our mental health and damaging to our faith. Negativity is dangerous to our self-esteem, our confidence, our families and friends and even our careers. But it is also damaging to relationships, it damages the trust that others have in us, it damages our reputation and even our lives. 

And negativity is like garbage, it smells. But I want us...

Even in intense or excruciating pain, I want to See Beyond Where I am and be the best me that I can be. And I realize that our experiences, the people who care for us, the facilities we go to for help when we're in pain, can help us strive for being better. I am still dealing with this pain and will be glad when it's over. But until then, I'll keep praying, singing, studying God's word so that I can be prepared ...

There are situations that seem to bring us only pain. That's what it like dealing with Sciatica and sometimes with life. And during those times we get lost in the pain, the process, and the problems and can't See Beyond that situation. But I encourage you to let go and let God help you. When we do that, we can see how Amazing God truly is.

Let me tell you what was going on and how I made myself See Beyond my situation. 

It started Aug.17th, three days after a virtual workout with 2 of my family members. I had done those exercises several times before and didn’t have any problems. Well as I said, on Aug. 17th I started having back pains. They were not bad pains, so I thought I just needed to relax or ice or put heat on my back. So, I iced my back and relaxed....

The title of today’s podcast is This is The Day. I want to talk about my title using a scripture that is very familiar. However, I think we, especially me at times, don’t think about it or live it like we should. 

But while a lot of us are enjoying this season; some people are having a hard time. Some people are mourning people they loss this year. And for some people it is hard because this time of year reminds them of lo...

I can’t remember when or if this has stopped but, when I was a kid, I remember the public service announcement would come on across the bottom of the tv screen. And a voice would say, this is a test, this is only a test. And that’s what I want to tell you today. Whatever you are going through, it’s a test, it is only a test. 

Failing is the easiest way of dealing with any test. But it is also the costliest. It costs more t...

Waste Management is a billion dollar industry. As a matter of fact, in 2021, the Waste Management industry made almost 20 billion dollars in revenue collecting waste. Today I am talking about how we waste time, how we waste resources, and about the three principles of waste management.

The three principles of waste management are reduce, recycle, reuse. That’s what I want to encourage you to do today. Reduce the waste of y...

Now let’s talk about pollution. If pollution is bad for the environment, water, and earth, then you know it is bad for our health, minds, bodies, and relationships. The kind of pollution I am referring to are behaviors and characteristics that contaminate us. 
 
 Pollution clouds the vision and causes to use poor judgement concerning people and things.  Just like plastic pollutants affects our eco system, a bad attitude, je...

When my youngest nephew was a toddler, he used to say, “don’t stop, gilly gilly”. 
What he was really trying to say was, “don’t stop, get it get it. It was something my family used to say quite a back then. It simply meant, don’t stop keep going. Keep doing what you’re doing to achieve whatever it is that you want. Or keep pursuing to you get what you want.

So, this Monday I want to say to you, don’t stop, get it get it. Or keep...

I was inspired to do this podcast because one of my sisters asked me to listen to a YouTube video titled Kara Lawson: Handle Hard Better. 

In the video, Kara stressed that we should not get discouraged during the hard times. She said, it is supposed to be hard. I believe that it is supposed to be hard, because the hard times shows us that we are stronger, more resilient than we think. 

I will admit that life is a challenge....

Remember what we used to say as kids? Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. We know that's not true. How many of us have been hurt by words? Too many of us. 

We remember vividly the words that were spoken to us years ago that wounded us. We remember who said it. We remember what they said. We can even remember their facial expression, what they had on, where we were and what we were doing...

In this episode, we discuss the weight of problems.
 
The weight a problem or situation can change.  But it depends on us. We determine how much weight of the problem we carry. And that weight correlates with the way we see ourselves, how we feel about the situation, and we work the problem.
 
When we don't have a plan to deal with the problem, that’s when we start asking ourselves why is this so hard? Or makin...
