We see the lights, the stages, the success stories.  Those that seem to have found their way and are killing it at life.  Those that seem to have risen above their situations, temptations, and adversities.  Then we begin to wonder, is there some divine order to all of...

From the moment we come into this world, every one of us knows that we all ought to belong.  We belong to our parents.  We belong to our families. We belong.  As we grow, the choice of where we want to belong expands.  You get to choose which grouping of friends or...

Godly friendships is one topic I thoroughly enjoy talking about.  Why, you may wonder?  Because Godly friendships changed my entire life by helping me to become rooted in my relationship with Jesus Christ.   Let me give you some back story. Growing up, I was not a...

A few days ago, I changed into a skirt that used to be a bit baggy.  Instead, on this particular day, the skirt fits perfectly.  It pains me to say, I am gaining a few pounds.   Let me give you some background. I’m that girl who is naturally skinny even if I put down...
