    Forever Love

    There is a gospel song that is out now entitled, Forever, by Jason Nelson. When I tell you I absolutely love this song! Initially hearing the song, it was just another nice song, but one day as I was riding in the car and I began to really listen to the lyrics. I realized as I listened, the song was like a love song from God to us. This song is a reminder of how much God loves us and how committed he is to us. How beautiful is it for someone to tell you they are committed to you and will love you forever no matter what. This is…

    Confidence Booster

    I recently had the pleasure to go see the movie, I Feel Pretty. Definitely a chick flick, but very good with a great message.

    You Don’t Rule Me!

    Every now and then we need to be called out on our stuff (bull). This happened to me the other day when my mom called me out on something I had not followed through on. Side bar, if you don’t have people in your life that will call you out when you’re wrong, you don’t have the right people in your life. We all make mistakes, it’s important that the people that love you tell you about those mistakes, so that you don’t continue to make them, this includes parents, friends, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. As shared in my last post, love rejoices in truth (1 Corinthians 13:6). Okay, so…
