A Different Stage Of Life

If I see something I want to be apart of, I usually do whatever I can to make it happen.  If I want to join something, I research or observe the workings of that group then mimic all things positive to make the grade so to speak. I've done that for as long as I …

When God Chooses to Walk You Through Rather Then Remove the Obstacle

Have you ever asked the Lord to change you? I have. I've asked him to remove things that were so innate in me; things that were at the very essence of me but caused problems in my relationships. It was a very hard time. I have recently had to take another spin on that Merry-go-Round. …

I recall a Gospel song There Is No Failure where one of the lines in the song is, catches you before you fall.  It is so very …

She Said I Was Beautiful

I clearly remember my father specifically, saying I was beautiful when I was growing up. He would tell me I was a "gorgeous hunk of female".  Of course I enjoyed hearing that and that affirmation told me I wasn't ugly or undesirable.  When I was becoming a young woman and was passed over by guys …
