"Wait on the Lord, be of good courage and HE shall strengthen your heart. Wait for the Lord."
Psalms 27:14 CSB
I love this scripture! It reminds me that God knows what’s best for me. Too many times we have our own agenda, plans, list etc... When to get married, have kids, buy a house, what career we want, life in general. Yet we fail to acknowledge the one who made us. Who know us entirely? From the hair on our h

Make sure that you live your words with clarity! So many people currently are saying one thing and living another! Time is too precious to waste. Love yourself enough to live with integrity of action. Our lives are the testament that will be held against us. How did we live the life that was given to us by The Highest God? I pray that you seek His heart and go forth and live 2 Chronicles 7:14. So that the rest of your life can be glorious!
I LOVE YOU TO LIFE!

Although I am sure there are more, here are 34 things the LORD showed me that a Righteous Woman (a righteous bride, a daughter of Yahweh, the King of kings) does:
Refreshes others by sharing the goodness of God with them in the way she lives, what she says, and what she does and doesn’t do, according to His Word
Reveals the Truth to others--first by living it, then by speaking it or other means, as the LORD leads
Rejects falsehood
Returns to the LORD and helps others to do so
Ok so, “the body” Your body! You are to present it to Yahweh as a living sacrifice. It will be his body. Now let me tell you something that might trip you out. Yahweh is not interested in your money, your time or your skills, Nah homie, He is interested in you, your body. There is only one gift that makes the redeemed creator happy, and that is the redeemed creation.
Ok, now when you do this, give your body to Yahweh, you will not be conformed or molded in the ways of this world. Conformed. Le

In a recent study from Barna, more than 15,000 people between the ages of 18 and 35 rated the church’s impact on issues of poverty and injustice. The results were surprising. 73% of the respondents who identified as practicing Christians believe that the church as a whole is making a positive impact in its effort to fight injustice.
However, that is a significant contrast from their non-Christian counterparts, 68%

Too many times we look at the negative before the positive. Why is that? Have we been conditioned by hurt and pain that its our first reaction? Does it come from being around negative people who always point out the obvious? There must be a better way! As a matter of fact, there is!
We as women of God, created to birth, nourish, and love mankind; have always been prepared for better or worse. I know it can be hard at times. Especially when it seems like everything is falling o

I know I'll get called a hata’. But the truth is, this is not hate. It’s love. I could not tell you the truth if I didn't love you! The truth is, it’s the enemy's goal to keep you dumb, blind, and in bondage.…

You can learn a lot from studying the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. I've read his autobiography as well as his sermons. But after watching the movie Selma and the HBO special "King in the Wilderness, something stirred me to jot down a few notes about the leader. In both instances, I noticed seven things that made him special and a tough act to follow. Accordingly, this article reveals seven leadership lessons.

What is your name? No, not the name that’s on your Birth Certificate. Your God ordained name. It’s that name that you should know. That very name will remind you of who and whose you are. It’s not by accident that you were named that. Know the difference between your name and what people have labeled you as. Oh yeah, there is a huge difference!
Some may have labeled you as damaged goods, yet YAHWEH sees you a classic that cannot be duplicated. You may know the name as a hustler
I know I'll get called a hata’. But the truth is, this is not hate. It’s love. I could not tell you the truth if I didn't love you! The truth is, it’s the enemy's goal to keep you dumb, blind, and in bondage. Then he can control you. So he uses B.E.T, movies, and music to make you think that if you read books and try to better yourself you’re a “lame” or you’re trying to be white. That’s a lie! The enemy wants you to think if you call yourself a nigga, and the baddest b****, you’re keeping it
Never be to arrogant that you are not able to admit when you are wrong and apologize! Whew! I said what I said! Being a family member, leader, boss does not entitle you to walk around in error without repentance! It just doesn’t work like that! IT will cause you to live a miserable and lonely life. Yes, there will be times you will have to stand your ground of right. Should that right become wrong; admit that you were wrong! Strive not to repeat the same offense. Strive for better communicatio
Dear Child of Mine,
I want to start by saying you are an amazing human being! I never would have thought
that I could raise such an inspiring person! From your laugh to your heart felt cry. You have
managed to captivate my entire your heart! Everyday that I wake up I think of how I can improve myself, that you may be great! I want to apologize for the times I yelled, went overboard or just didn’t see your side of a situation. For when it seemed that I didn’t understand. I nev
I want to be the best leader I can be. I know I’m not there yet, and I still have much room to grow. So as I write this post, I write as a student more than a teacher. Here are some steps I’m taking to improve as a leader in 2020.
1. Develop a “leadership development” team. Enlist two to three people you respect, who know you well, and who will speak truth into your life — and ask them to evaluate your leadership at least twice a year (my preference is once per quarter). Listen non-defensive
I want to let you know you are doing a great job fathers of the this great nation and worldwide, but there is more to be accomplished with our time here. We must beat the drum for Championship Fathering! As you know God has called us fathers to do more than stand on the sidelines and watch our families fall apart and fail. It truly is time for all us fathers to plant our feet in the ground and make a stand to guide the physical, mental, and spiritual destiny of our families
