It is time to leave your comfort zone
A year ago, I reached a place where I felt like I wasn’t growing. I felt like I wasn’t going anywhere. I felt stagnant. I had dreams and visions in mind but I saw no fit manner to achieve them. I was doing so much but I felt as though what I was reaching for […]
5K Run – A Lesson in Endurance
So, crazy me decided that instead of staying in my bed like a good little girl on a Sunday morning, I was up by 5:00 am and ready to do a 5K run at 6:15 am. I must say that I thought I would die especially since I chose to do the run instead of […]

I’ve heard people speak of waiting to find their Boaz. For those who don’t know what I am talking about… Boaz is the Prince Charming who basically took Ruth from the Bible out of poverty and before that, allowed her to collect the excess crop left behind in the field). It is almost like the […]
Get Up Again
So I’ve been playing Farm Heroes Saga (farm version of Candy Crush) for a few months now. A month ago I reached a level where I had to get three stars in order to get three new animals. The first couple of times I played the level I couldn’t even complete it! Frankly, I was […]

You are who you are because of yesterday.
A few weeks ago, God dropped this thought into my spirit “you are who you are because of yesterday”. I wrote the thought down in my phone and left it there. Last night as I was browsing through the phone, I came upon the thought. This time, I asked, ” God, how do you […]

As a Christian, I’ve come to realize that being tempted is like dating. Yes, I said that! In fact let me repeat “being tempted as a Christian is like dating”. Now let me explain what I mean. Let’s look at the dating analogy. Have you ever noticed that a man’s approach varies based on the type […]
What Are You Willing to Do to Maintain Your self-respect?
For the first time in a while, I met a guy who I liked. He is intelligent and really kept me on my toes. He challenged me to think and was quick to offer suggestions on areas that are important to me. He is quite handsome. He is a go-getter who is always striving to […]
Tell Them Now
When I was in my late teens I attended the funeral of a woman who had just barely touched my life. What stayed with me was the way persons spoke about her! She had touched so many lives and done so much good. I decided then and there that I wanted to live my life […]
