IAMFORGIVEN

For the love of Money

Growing up I was really into this group called Bone Thugs N Harmony. They were the pioneers of tongue twisting rap, where they would flow out super quick rhymes and make it sound really easy and smooth. It was actually pretty impressive! One year they came out with a song called “For the Love of…

Marriage and Ministry – Double or Cut in Half?

About a year ago I was talking with a friend who came from the states and had been a missionary for many years. We got to talking about relationships and he gave me some really good advice that hit me. He said “The person you choose to marry will either Double your life and ministry…

A girl name ENTITLED!

I ran into a girl named Entitled yesterday. She had a very interesting story. From a young age she had been born into a family that gave her everything that she wanted. “No” was not in her vocabulary because the parents felt that if they said “no”, it would take away her happiness. As she…

ONE YEAR OLDER

My birthday was yesterday and I realized that I am one year older. Funny how that works! Each year God takes you through a journey that will grow you, teach you and allow you to gain more wisdom. The older you are, the more life experience you have, and that can either be good or…

Are you a Victim or Victor?

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…

It is better to _, than to __.

It wasn’t until I went to Africa that I found out that living in a western culture, that was filled with abundance, numbed me to how oblivious I was to walking in the ways of this world. Although I didn’t come from an extremely wealthy family, we had more than any little African child could…

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;…
