IAMFORGIVEN

Look what I got!

Two men had just walked through the gates of heaven to see a sign that said: “GET YOUR TREASURES HERE”. They both jumped in line to see what they would receive. The first man walks up to the desk and the clerk asks, “What was your name on earth?” He replied “Modest Jones”. The Clerk…

Are we enabling our children?

I have been thinking a lot about how I was raised and how blessed I was to have a family that really trained me up to be able to live my life on my own. They pushed me to work at a young age and didn’t spoil me to a point of taking away my…

I don’t know if you have ever experienced the messiness of life, but it can be tough sometimes to want to continue to keep moving forward. I want to ask you, what do you do when you face trials? When you lose your job? When your boyfriend or girlfriend leaves you? When you feel like…

You Are Worth It!

Living in the shadows of somebody who never sees you as being good enough really can take a toll on how you live your life. It can be manageable at first but then it gets harder to put up with. Before you know it, you are down, emotionally drained and want to give up on…

WHY ME?

The older I get the more I realize how hard this life can be. Things don’t always go according to plan and when things are really good, somebody is always there to stomp on your parade. Sometimes we even encounter things in life that can be a huge blow to us, like death or disease;…
