    The Gift

    Anyone that knows me knows that my favorite thing to do is to be with family and friends. I truly believe they are a gift from God. He has indeed given us so many gifts, shelter, food, clothing, a sound mind, family and friends to help us stay on track and inspire us to do more and be more. Never forget the gifts God has provided, including the greatest gift of all His Son, Jesus! On this day, don’t forget the true reason for the season, the gifts are nice, but be sure to honor the greatest gift (Jesus) with a gift! As you come to the King to honor…

Sometimes life can feel like you are in a chess match, it’s your opponent’s turn and you’re trying to figure out all the moves that they will make and if the move they make is to set you up.

    Nothing will STOP me!

    Let’s talk about how God will place ideas in your heart, it’s easy to think of ideas, the hard part is actually putting those ideas to paper and to action. God truly has blessed me with the gift of ideas. I can come up with all types of ideas, but when it comes time to put those ideas to work, I get stuck or get consumed with other things that take my focus from the vision God gives to me. I believe that God is calling his people to more in 2017. He wants us to be more, this includes all parts of our lives, work, school, church, home, in…
