Life Is A Journey

I recently was tested positive for Covid and had to go into isolation (quarantine) for five days. During this time it was very difficult and a lot of thoughts were had. One thing I took away from this time, from a few movies I watched was that life is short. In that what will I leave behind for my wife and children to remember me by and what can I create that will be great. What impact will I leav...

We haven't done one of these in a long time, I'd like to take the time this week to reflect on somethings that have and are taking place in my life. So many times in life we forget to reflect, when we reflect we can make adjustments and remember where God has brought us from and what he's about to or already doing. Join in this week "Time of reflection/changes are happening."...

Everyone of us have strengths and weaknesses, we may or may not be aware of what they are but they are there. We tend to at times recognize what our strengths are but dismiss our weaknesses. In life rest assured that in our weaknesses in God we are made strong. Join in this week as we talk about "Strength in Weakness." Key Scriptures/ Romans 8:26, 2 Corinthians 12:9, Psalms 28:7, 2 Corin...

In this life we must go through suffering, there's no escaping it. Whether you were born rich or poor and had to grind your way to the top, one must go through some kind of suffering or struggle. In order to reign we must go through hard times and situations in life, through the dirt, hurt, pain, test and trials yet endure to receive the crown of LIFE. Join in this week "Suffer-reign.&quo...

Pleased and pleasing others takes place in life, in relationships, friendships, politics, religion, stardom and so on. We can even ourselves be guilty of seeking to please our self. The importance of pleasing God outweighs all of the former mentioned, as we approach the day of the Lords return we must be prepared and aware to do what we must to not seek to please others but to please God. Join in...

This is the top of the year and so many have goals and resolutions that they desire to reach and attain before the end of the year. Some are "in their bag" or chasing the bag. This hit me hard... Am I in my bag or in his will? The scripture tells us, "what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and loss his soul." We can get easily caught up in the world and what others a...

Even the scripture tells us we can't pour new wine into old wine skins. It's pointless, moving fro the old into the new with the old. Doesn't make sense at all, in order to move into the next chapter, season, and year God has prepared for us we must first let go of the old. Old mindset, old habits, old ways, as the old saying (pun intended) out with the Old in with the NEW. Join in thi...

We are all given gifts and talents, what we do with them is up to us. Either we use them to give and bring glory to God or to ourselves. It's easy to get caught up in the words of affirmations and awards etc. To be honest that's how Satan(Lucifer) got caught up and cast out of heaven. Christmas is here and gone, the greatest gift given to us and the reason for the season. So how are you us...

Simply put, you and I have come too far to Quit. There is still more work to be done. Every day we wake up we still have a mission to complete, we have a life to reach and impact and change. We have opportunities to become better, to live on purpose with purpose. The enemy would have us believe we should give in, no so. Keep pushing, continue to stay the course that God has assigned and equipped y...

I get downloads as my dad puts it, or in other words revelations. This past week I was heavily dealt with on the matter of complete surrender to God. It is in total surrendering to God that things begin to shift or change. WhenI (we) continue to try and do things our selves will disable God from doing what he desires to do in our lives; doors can't open, we can't level up, or grow. Surrend...

We can or may conform to many different things in life. We do it mostly to fit in so that we aren't singled out or "made fun of". This world is full of so many things that we can conform to; meaning become or copy. We must become and be conformed to Christ, his ways, his will and everything that the word of God instructs us to be and become. Join in this week as we talk about "W...

Have you ever misplaced your keys or an item you were looking for? I'm sure we all have at one point and time in life, on the contrary so many times we misplace things in life, morals, values, relationships. Most of all putting God where he belongs in our lives 1st. Misplacement can happen at any time if we aren't careful. It is a process and should be of high importance to not misplace Go...

I've been reminded more now than ever in my lifetime the importance of having my life together. I've also been finding myself drawing closer to God more than ever, although we are human and all fall short of the Glory of God; we still must do everything we can to live a life pleasing to him. We all get "Caught Up" in life and the day to day errands and work etc, however we must b...

When we think about life and who or what we were made for what comes to mind? Do you know and believe we were made for this? We are all made to worship and praise God, to bring and give him glory. We weren't made to live a life that pleases us. Join in this week "I was MADE for YOU." Key Scriptures/Isaiah 43:7, Romans 11:36, 1 Corinthians 10:31, Jeremiah 29:11, Ephesians 1:5, Matthew...

So many times I've asked myself the question, am I living or just existing? Many times we are just here, existing. Not actually doing what God purposed us to do. Because each of us were created on purpose to fulfill a specific purpose in the earth. LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO JUST EXIST. Join in this week "Am I Living or just Existing?" Key Scriptures/ Psalms 57:2, Psalm 138:8, Psalms 119:1...

Many times I'm sure you've asked the question WHY, but have you received the answers you were looking for? Why me? Why is this or that that going on in my life? Why can't I change? Why am I this way? Why did this happen to me? So many why questions and many of us may feel we can't ask God why. In all truth, we can. We aren't questioning him in his omnipotent power or who he is....

Turning from and to can change your life, either for good or for worse. The power of the turn takes place when we choose to daily turn to Jesus. Not to things or people. He is the answer for all of our problems, and the guide and example of how we should live and do life. Join in this week "The Power of the Turn." Key Scriptures/1 Peter 5:7, Isaiah 45:22, Psalm 119:59, Psalm 22:27, Matth...

When I look at my life and the things I've experienced and what I see in myself on a day to day basis; how I behave or conduct myself etc. There are things I've discovered in the last few years of my life, that I've come to find out have come to be because of those before me. I don't blame anyone for where I am in life, I must be responsible for the decisions I have and do make. Ho...

In life so many times I've asked myself the question, why is this happening to me? In reality things aren't happening to us, they are happening for us. These trials, test and tribulations and things we go through are shaping us, molding us and its for our good. In the midst of the hard times it doesn't feel good, just like diamonds the process it takes is that it must go through the fi...

Have you ever looked in the mirror or at your life and not like what you see? I was at the gym the other day and in the beginning of my workout, the question hit me "What do you See?" At times I'm not sure what I see, and or don't like what see both physically and spiritually. I desire to see Christ and the things of Christ illuminated in all areas of my life. Join in as we talk...

One thing for sure is we all have flaws, we have short comings or imperfections in who we are and in different areas of our lives. The Good and Great thing to know is that God love us with them and can help us to be who he called us to be. Let's dive in this week talking about "Flaws and ALL". Because whether you know it or not your flaws is what make you, you. It's not a bad par...

Have you ever asked yourself the question, What's next? For many in this season optima in your life, the question is more relevant than any other time. Those decisions or moves that need to be made to get you to what's next start by; seeing where you are now, planning for where you want to be, and above all seeking God for where it is that he has for you to be in what's next.

One key to obtaining a better life is dying self. It requires sacrifice whether you're married or single a parent or not.

I'm almost certain that we all have an appetite for something or even someone. For some it refers to food, there have been many times I'll be hungry but not have an appetite for anything. We all should have an appetite for God, but this comes from spending time with him and reading our word and more. Join in this week talking about "What do you have an appetite for?" Key Scriptur...
