THE “WRONG” GIFT AT CHRISTMAS!! – The Gift of Singleness

Image
Have you ever woke up and felt yet again God gave you the wrong gift at Christmas? Every year my family does a gift exchange and every year we prepare a list of exactly what we want from this exchange. My mother is the kind of person whose  face will show every disapproving detail if your gift was not an item chosen from her carefully crafted list. One year I remember taking my time at a pottery barn to design and paint her a pottery trinket. This, of course, was not on her list, but I made it and thought she would love it! Boy was I wrong, the look alone on my mother’s face told me I had made the wrong move. She was confused, disappointed and most of all hurt cause this was never on her list! Today I woke up again with the same gift God has been giving me for so many years and again this gift was NOT on my list. You see God has closed the doors to all my previous flames, so there is no going back and He has not opened any NEW doors so there is still nowhere to go f...

Partners in Purpose - Tammy & Heath Francis

Image
I’ve often heard married couples say that marriage is truly about the work you choose to put into it every day. Today I feature a young married couple who I truly believe define what it means to be partners in purpose. The reason I fell in love with this couple’s story is because they were honest enough to share their triumphs and their trials. Tammy gives us a glimpse into the journey God took their relationship on; a journey that I think is truly worth reading.  A journey where God took two broken people and restored their marriage and purpose, reminding us that God’s vision isn’t always easy, but it will always be worth it! Tammy & Heath’s Story “Heath and I started dating in our early twenties, I was the pageant queen, with over 100 pairs of shoes and a walk in closet of clothing and Heath was the basketball star that girls flocked over. Life was great, and we’re holding on to some great jobs. I had a very big PR position for a major company, and Heath was a ...

The Purpose Behind my POST - By Karissma Robinson

Image
I believe blogging is a special calling. Many don't understand why countless women and men let their fingers meet the keys to tell the world about their triumphs and trials. I believe the reason behind why each person begins is different, but the one common factor is that we are simply called. Called to share our views, interest and the various unexpected outcomes of life in an effort to help at least one other person along the way! As promised each month this year I would share insight from a guest blogger and today I a proud to feature a piece by Karissma Robinson in the Purpose behind my post!  Way back in the day when a flip phone was the in thing I stumbled across the wonderful world of blogging. It was a new, but interesting  world for me as  someone who is very opinionated and expressive. It took a while for me to get  started  though because  I wasn't too comfortable about putting my thoughts, opinions  and experiences out there in the ...

Finding Purpose, Through your Pain - Myles Munroe Jr.

Image
    No matter how hard you try, I don’t think anyone could ever really be prepared for what Myles Jr (Chairo) and his sister Charisa had to go through on November 9 th , 2014. As a country, we mourned a great loss of one of our most influential spiritual leaders.  However this was not only a loss for the Bahamas, this was a great loss for the world. Countless souls that were inspired by the teachings of Dr. Myles Munroe fled to social media to offer their condolences and tributes, sharing messages they learned over the years and cherished photos that they once had the chance to take. Through the dedications, memories and craze of it all, Chairo and Charisa didn’t just lose their spiritual leaders that day, they lost their parents… In a one-on-one interview Myles Munroe Junior opened up about what life was like growing up with his mom and dad, his painful goodbye and his current journey through life as he makes his daily steps to begin again. The Younger...

"Birthing your Blessing" - Interview with Jillian Storr

Image
According to the March of Dimes , as many as   50 % of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage -- most often before a woman misses a menstrual period or even knows she is pregnant. About   15 % of recognized pregnancies will end in a miscarriage. This means that 1 out 2 women that you know, may have experienced a miscarriage, without even knowing it. This also means that 1 out of every 10 women you know have also gone through the pain of knowing they miscarried.   I have never experienced this kind of pain, but my heart often grieves for the women who have. My heart is heavy for women who sit in silence, ashamed, devastated and filled with the constant questions of why and will I ever be able to have a baby? There are so many married women who desire to give their husband the family that they have always prayed for and dreamed about. Unfortunately they often go to bed in tears with a heart filled with silent prayers to God. These silent prayers became more real ...
