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

How do you want this year to turn out or what are your expectations for the year? The year has started rolling out her days; soon we will be counting weeks and months down the year. It is important that we guide it down the path that will be in our favour, and prayer and fasting is one of the tools to use in achieving this. It is a good way to take towards actualizing your desired outcome for this New Year.
Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might hu

Girlfriend! Let’s talk about this new you. Are you ready? Let’s go! Now you say that this is your year to start your business, get fit, live your best life! That’s what you say. Well all that is good and fine; what about your mindset. Yeah, your mind! You have a goal set, but you haven’t renewed your mind. YAWEH says that we are to renew our mind and become a new creature.
Reason being is because old mind sets can’t produce a new outcome! So, while you are being brand

Blessings be unto you Women of YAWEH!! This year will only be spectacular if you want it to be! To want something is to work towards it! The best thing about working is the appreciation after you are finished! Nothing like a blessed reward for due diligence!
This year comes with an extra day. That’s right 2020 is a leap year! Instead of having 28 days in February we will have 29! That’s an extra day to accomplish your goal!! To go forth and be prosperous! Don’t waste that e

Woman make sure to make you annual exam to your OBGYN! It is most valuable thing you can do for yourself! Make sure that you also go to the dentist and have your eyes check! Also, if you need a break to renew your mind take it! Mental health is also very important! After all you are what you think!! How can you care for everyone else and you are not well? If you need help finding a Dr, contact your insurance customer care line or dial 211 for information on free health scree

Deuteronomy 20:4 “…for the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.”
When the odds were against you! When that divorce tore your heart out! That Dr. who said you wouldn’t live to see another Christmas! When your father didn’t acknowledge the love, he has for you! When that child or your mother died! Whew child; you made it!!!
YAWEH gave you the strength to overcome! I know it was hard and unexpected. Life has a way
It’s easy to believe that success or popularity equals “manhood”. But do not be deceived! The God who created you and knows you intimately, looks beneath the surface into the recesses of the heart, and what really matters is what he sees in there. Lose that perspective and begin to live your life with the ideals of the world, guided by your own selfish desires, and fall short of what God has planned for your life. On the other hand, live life with an undying deep desire to

Honey please declutter your life! That’s why you are feeling so drained! From social media to your house. Take inventory and get rid of those things that have no value in your life. It doesn’t have value it is either collecting dust or draining you. This is not the time to carry it into your new season of good health, peace of mind and abundance. We are moving on to a better way of life. We as women will not tolerate anything that is a hindrance to our God given mandate! So

Women of God, it’s with a heavy heart I type this post. Why? SMH! We as women have stepped out of our God given place! We have become the body instead of the rib! We have become just a helper and not a helpmate! We have gotten out of place!
I know a lot of you will not agree with me and that’s fine. Before you disagree with me look at the women of today. We have taken on the “BOSS” mindset that it has taken us out of position with YAWEH. We have become more dominant in our
Proverbs 31:30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty if fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
There are few things which last longer than life itself, but our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ does, along with God and the Holy Spirit. We can show so much charm, we can hide our facade of who we really are for only so long, but eventually weaknesses show through, the cover or armour gets chipped, corners get broken. The beauty we have with youth matures and changes

In every area of your life, prayer is needed! From the moment you wake up in the morning to the moment you get back in your bed. There are so many things that we can pray about. From our personal life, pastors, leaders of the world, our government, etc. When praying make sure that your heart is pure, make sure that your pray without motive! You want to see God’s glory and his perfect well done and every aspect of every persons life. Whether it be prayer for healing, deliver
Have you ever felt like you're not enough? I'm sure you have. You know, that feeling that you can't give enough or "be" enough for everyone else. If you get everything done - then you get the impression that others feel you are an overachiever and too busy in life; they feel you need to relax and slow down. If you let things go and simply enjoy the fun things for awhile, you are a slacker. If you feel you are being humble, others act as if you are weak and need to learn h

In this final segment of King Lemuel his mother is teaching him on how his wife should be able to speak, work and take care of her household well. Most of all that she when looked upon she is well respected through the gates just like her husband.

It takes a mighty strong woman to work well with her hands and provide for her family. Not only that but she walks in her strength so well that peo
Don't stop reading! I know you're about to tune me out. After all, what does some alien woman from Venus know about men's issues? Not much from an insider's perspective, but as one with a bird's eye view, I think you might be interested in what I have to say.
Until the advent of my nephews, my dad and husband were the most influential men in my life. (Now, my sisters' two yearlings possess some power to instantly erode my vocabulary back to primitive coos and cuddles.) My father and husband a

When I tell you, it took me a while to realize that at the end of the day I must LIVE MY LIFE! So, any times we get caught up in everyday work, kids, husband, church, friends and family lives that we forget about ours! We forget about our own identity! Sad, yet true girl! I’m all for supporting others.
I make sure that everyone that comes into my life know that they are loved! That I am here for them and will give them my best. All while making sure that I myself is not for
