But he answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.   Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.   (Matthew 25:12, 13 NKJV) When I read these words, ‘I do not know you,’ I felt a blast to my heart.   To be standing there, in the presence of Almighty God, ready to spend eternity with Him, only to hear those gut-wrenching five words! That fear, that blast to my heart I felt, is what keeps me on the straight and narrow path.   Yes, I have questioned God about the path He has me walking right now and have often strayed when it got too difficult, but I am quick to repent and ask for forgiveness because I never want to hear those five words spoken to me.   I know that no matter how difficult or tiresome this battle is; I must press on. I find my strength through God’s word and the encouragement of others to keep going forward. “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God...

Hello everyone! I know that Mother's Day has already passed, but I wanted to share something I wrote last year. I hesitated because this is really difficult for me to talk about. When I asked God why He wanted me to share such a personal and painful time in my life, His answer was simple. You need to heal. So, here I am being open, being vulnerable, but most of all, being obedient.  Happy Mother's Day! I wanted to share something that I wrote last year during this time. It's entitled Forever in My Heart and it's dedicated to the children I've lost who are waiting in heaven! *** Forever in My Heart To the one, I’ve never met, but I hold closest to my heart. I never got to see your face, oh your beautiful face that would light up even my darkest day. I never got to hold your hand as you took your first step. Or picked you up when you’d fall and scrape your knee. I never got to wipe away your tears or snuggled with you while you slept. I never got to walk ...

For the past few months, I’ve been in what I call the ‘crazy train roller coaster.' Whenever I start to feel like life’s getting better and the crazy train roller coaster is about to come to a stop, I get hit again. I used to look forward to waking up to see what God has in store for me. Now? I go through my day like I’m on autopilot. Have you ever felt like you’re just going through the motion of the day? Yesterday as I was driving home from the grocery store, the song, “ Tell Your Heart to Beat Again ” by Danny Gokey came on the radio. I listened to the words as the weight of life’s pressures well up. The tears flowed as I tried to blink free from the watery cloud that filled my eyes. I listened as he sang these words. It was as if he had written it for me!  Tell your heart to beat again Close your eyes and breathe it in Let the shadows fall away Step into the light of grace Yesterday's a closing door You don't live there anymore Say goodbye to where you...

A while ago during one of my morning devotions, the words ‘don’t be caught sleeping’ kept coming to mind. I immediately prayed that I wouldn’t be caught sleeping, but caught being about my Father’s business. Our minds should remain sober and alert because the enemy is roaming this world. 1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV) says, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” Satan’s number one goal is to destroy God’s children. He will lie to you and tell you that he will give you the desires of this world like fame, riches, etc. if you follow him. You start to listen to his lies because they sound pleasing and before you know it, you're justifying your actions all the while begging God to forgive you for falling for the enemy’s lies. Yes, God will forgive you, but why put yourself in that predicament? We get so caught up with what the world has to offer, especially when we start comparing ourselves to them and soon become...
