I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well (Psalm 139:14) How can one possibly see themselves as loved, blessed, healed, beautiful, attractive, handsome, unique, special, favored, and secured when we live in a world that is so full of insecure people? The most well known people are not secured. What we see on television and in social media depict altered versions of people. Therefore, we learn as children growing up that when we do not like something about ourselves, rather than seek the Creator who created each and every human being in a special way, we hide by looking…

We live in such a fast paced society where delayment is not an option. If you want it, go after it now. Instant gratification is the way to go. So can you truly blame someone when they develop this kind of mindset? Growing up, I always wanted things to go my way now. I did not want to wait.

The one who is completely healed, set free, and delivered. The confident, bold, and courageous one. A homeowner rather…

“As far as the East is from the West, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:12 So what is grace? Simply put, grace is something that we do not deserve. Grace encompasses kindness and compassion to those not worthy of it. God does not owe us any good thing. The good that we experience is a result of His grace. The blessings that we experience in our life is because of His grace. Because God extends His grace towards us, we have to learn how to take that grace and extend it towards ourselves.  Ever heard, “We are our own worst enemy?” Well that statement is very true.…

Scripture tells us that marriage and children are a reward from God from the beginning of Genesis. Therefore, it can become very confusing and disheartening to a single person who desires to be married or a couple who desires children and it hasn’t happened. If you have never experienced dating and/or being in a relationship, if you have experienced dating and/or being in a relationship and it wasn’t a good/healthy experience, or you’ve tried countless of times to have a child with your spouse and it has yet to happen for you, you often feel a wide range of emotions: disappointment, anxiety, helplessness, anger, insecurities, self-pity, guilt, depression, etc. The…
