First of all Happy Friday!! I know it probably won't be Friday when you read this, but its Friday and I am writing it. I hope that the joy of the Lord shifts from being your strength to being your smile. I don't know about you, but I am over asking for joy just to stay strong, I want the joy you can't explain. Lord I pray that the reader of this blog is smacked with an impartation of joy that will blow their minds and make their current situation the best laugh they ever had in Jesus name. Here we go. If I could sum up my 2017 in a couple of words, I would say sorrow traded for joy. It wasn't that it was a bad year as a whole. I learned a lot and I had a lot of rewarding moments. I graduated with my Masters degree, I got ordained at my church again, and I got engaged. All of that happened and I was grateful for every second. I cried when I got my degree because it was the first major step I took to chasing my God given dreams. I was in Buffalo, NY by myself struttin

ahh 2018 :) Hi. I welcome you with open arms. My heart is open and ready for the best year. I believe that the word of the Lord is sure. There is a reward for faithfulness. I rewrote this Psalm for those who are struggling to stay consistent like me. Those who are frustrated with the responsibility of great gifts. Even those who know greatness is inside of them, but they are too afraid to birth it out. I am praying for you. Don't give up! P.S. I'm back! Its been 2 years and I am finally back. I have a lot of growth, mistakes, tears, and joy to share. If you are here reading this, thanks for keeping me accountable to the gift inside of me. I have wonderful news coming really soon. But until then, enjoy! Psalm 51* Have mercy on me Lord, according to your faithful character, according to the multitude of love expressed on the cross. Wash me in your word, clean me from my wrongs. For I confess my sins and I lay my wrongs on the altar. Against you alone have I wrong

There are conversations going on in my heart that keep me at the edge of grace.  These are not perfect conversations but interpretations of the heartbeats that keep me alive.  These conversations are also incomplete. Beyond the walls of my heart they are empty and lifeless.  With no meaning outside of emotion, will you lift your glass as I toast ... To the boys I once loved, thank you for not having the courage to love me back.  Of all the things I could regret, it will never be my experience will you.  You taught me how to chase after Him and dive into His relentless love. Finally the scars on my heart are free to reflect His beauty.  To the guys I once liked, you helped me figure out what life is all about and why death is so easily feared.  It is the unexpected last breath that we are afraid of much like the unexpected end we shared.  I absolutely hated to watch you walk away but I'm grateful on my worst days you didn't stay.   It was never about you

Confrontation: the act of facing hostility or defiance. the bringing together for examination or comparison. John 21: 15-17 15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, b do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Feed My lambs." × References for John 21:15 Footnotes Ï 21:15 - NU-Text reads John.

I think everybody has found themselves on the wrong side of the door. Either you wish you hadn't opened it or, in my case, you wish you could just close it. Usually I'm not one to dwell on either side but this situation is special. It took more than a twisting of the knob or a turning of the key. I opened a lot more than a door. And I'm wise enough to say I need to close it. But I'm honest enough to say I don't know how.  And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. (Matthew 16:19 KJV) Even the seasons prophesy. They have no known beginning or end. Sometimes that are skipped or extend but not once do they get offended. The glory of spring does not come at the expense of the exposure of winter. The harvest is consistent in increase but lacking in labor. The same is so of relationships. What starts off as friends can eas

Intro: Closed Doors I think everybody has found themselves on the wrong side of the door. Either you wish you hadn't opened it or, in my case, you wish you could just close it. Usually I'm not one to dwell on either side but this situation is special. It took more than a twisting of the knob or a turning of the key. I opened a lot more than a door. And I'm wise enough to say I need to close it. But I'm honest enough to say I don't know how. Watch 8 3am is for lovers. Hearts reaching for beats. Racing to feed souls. Minds wonder at the speed of sound Waiting for ears to understand. Full lips dripping with honey From calling on the sweetest name known to man. 6am is for angels. Gentle nudges on your shoulder As you roll over in a new day. A sweet voice reaches down urging you to arise and eat. Provision awaits on table tops Seeking a belly to enter in. Lord I am your servant. Let your word be fulfilled. 9am is for healing. 40 minus 1. Most peop
