Over the past week my Dad taught several lessons that at first seemed not to connect, but in the end came together in a beautiful picture. In fact the tapestry that he painted spoke to me in a way I that didn’t see coming. I hope this doesn’t come off as a mini-sermon, but I want to share with you my take on a message that is close to my heart. That message: the immeasurable value that God places on... Read more
There’s a parable that you are probably familiar with about a drowning man. Water is rising and the man comes up on the roof praying to God to save him. Someone comes by in a rowboat and the man says, “No, I’m waiting on God.” Someone comes by in a motorboat and the man says, “No, I’m waiting on God.” Then someone comes by in a helicopter and a third time the man says, “No, I’m waiting on God.” The...

The story of Dreamgirls is more than music. It’s more than show business. It’s more than lights and sequined dresses. It is about life and hearbreak it’s about finding yourself. And believing in what you bring to the table as well as what you deserve. The word deserve always sparks interesting thoughts for me. Because if we are honest as a believer, we have to know that things that we have said, done, and thought deserve to be punished. We... Read more
Understanding real love through the lens of Christianity often involves navigating a seemingly conflicting journey of selflessness and sacrifice. It’s like trying to find your way through a maze blindfolded, armed only with a compass called faith. Picture this: you’re on the subway, and just when you think you’ve got a seat, someone elderly shuffles in. Real love nudges you to offer your spot with a smile, even if it means enduring the rest of the ride standing, swerving and... Read more
Gratitude is a powerful emotion that can transform our lives and the lives of those around us. It can help us appreciate what we have, recognize the blessings that God has given us, and share them with others who may not have the same access to resources that we do. For the past few weeks I’ve been organizing an event to give myself, as well as a few family members and friends an opportunity to serve some of our brothers... Read more
Today, I want to talk to you about this thing called life more abundantly. You know, the kind of life that Jesus promised us in John 10:10, when He said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” But what does that mean, exactly? And how do we get it? Well, let me tell you, it’s not about having more money, more fame, more fun, or more stuff. Trust me, I’ve tried... Read more
Somewhere along the way I have turned into the old woman that you see who wears certain things, like slips and pantyhose. She says certain things like, “Hey baby, make sure you have a coat on when you go outside.” I have become that. LOL. Something else I often question is, what we’re going to do with all of this technology and all of this access we have now. We are exposed to so much and most of the time... Read more
There are three things that have been a constant theme over the course of my life- faith, prayer and identity. Interestingly enough it’s the last one that was highlighted much later for me and yet its roots run the deepest. As a faith-based content creator and coach I often ponder the questions: What does it mean to be a Christian in today’s world? What do I want exhibit for others in terms of how to live a life of faith... Read more
I feel like what I’m about share here is long overdue. And the things that my pastor and the praise team leader at my church has been saying all year confirms it. It is time for us Believers to get back to pure adoration and appreciation for The Man that has proven Himself over and over again. Especially at the top of this bright beautiful New Year we all need to understand the importance of acknowledging Christ for who He... Read more
If you are anything like my husband and me, you are subscribed to several streaming TV services. One that I favor is Hulu because of the variety of old and new shows. I tend to like wholesome, family-friendly stories with clean jokes and cute endings. This leaves me watching a lot more older shows versus newer ones. Lately, I’ve been watching episodes of one of my favorite shows as a kid, ‘Who’s The Boss?’ And of course, as a preacher,... Read more
