Perfection Not Necessary…Choose Jesus!

A personal journey of healing, growth, and encouragement through Christ Jesus.

Are you all in, Testimony

You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow, and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. -Matthew 7:13-14 NLT After rereading “Are you…
You can’t fight Satan with his weapons.

Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the…
Disrespectful Children…Repent!

I heard a woman on TikTok say, “No one can break your heart like your own children,” and I agree with her 100%. There are days when our children make us so happy and proud to be their parents. We celebrate them and even brag to others about our children. We gleam with joy and…
Until we meet again

Losing my son is my worst nightmare come true. My heart has a permanent scar. My life will never be the same. My beautiful boy, I never imagined that I would be saying goodbye to you. I feel a tremendous amount of sorrow and anxiety typing this. My second-born and first son. You were my…
My Bad, I Was Angry

Early this month, I wrote an impact statement in the sentencing of the man who murdered my son. It took me forever to write, it was emotional and stressful, but I got through it.

Missed the Mark

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. -Romans 3:23 It all started way back in the Garden of Eden; our enemy, in the form of a serpent, manipulated Eve into eating fruit from the forbidden tree. We all know the story, Adam and Eve ate the fruit, and now their…
Break Free! Freedom over Bondage

My last post was about a dream I had where God revealed to me that my cigarette smoking was the thing in my life that was hindering me in my walk with Him. I heard that for me, smoking is my choosing the world over Him. I was repentant and determined to be done with…
Are you all in?

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. -James 4:7 KJV If you asked me yesterday if I was all in for Christ Jesus, I would have given you an unequivocal yes. I chose Jesus, and I thought it meant I was all in. If the Holy Spirit dwells…
Perilous Times

But understand this, that in the last days perilous times will come, for people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, hardhearted, unforgiving, backbiting, without self-control, brutal, hating what is good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. 2 Timothy 3:1-4 I’ve…
You can’t heal if you keep salting the wound.

When I chose Jesus, I didn’t know what was coming down the pipeline. I didn’t know my heart would be broken by loss and betrayal. Do I regret choosing Jesus? Absolutely not! I thank God that he didn’t give up on me. I thank Him for calling me out of the darkness. Months after losing…
