Change the Variable in Your Life to Receive Your Desired Objective

What will you like to see happen in your life? Do you desire peace? Get rid of the unrest in your life. If that unrest has to do with dealing with another individual, have a conversation with that person and tell him/her what you notice about your relationship with him/her. It may take time to work things out. If the situation seems out of control, you may need to take it to …

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it Psalm 118:24 KJV).

This is the scripture verse that I quoted at our daughter’s wedding. I wanted to recite this before reading the scripture verses for which I was assigned. I discussed the above verse with our daughter and her bridesmaids and they felt that I should say anything that the Lord had led me to say. I felt compelled to say the scripture that was on my mind. I thought of the many …

Who are you? What Do You Think About Yourself?

I wanted to discuss this subject because all of us are so busy in our personal/business lives that we have not stopped to think about who we are or what we think of ourselves. Our relationships extend to our immediate family, friends, co-workers, church members and also to our extended family members including our parents and siblings. These relationships, particularly with our …

God Makes the Impossible, Possible

I have seen God work in my family’s life in many unique ways. As we attended our daughter Monique’s great wedding this past weekend-the wedding that we have planned for so long, we knew that our prayers will be answered. We had no idea that God would give us much more than we asked for. Our daughter Jo-An was part of the wedding party. We didn’t think she could handle walking …

Spend Time with Your Family

For the past few months I have been busy with my family. Being involved in the lives of the people to whom God has entrusted to us to love and to enjoy, is a tremendous responsibility, one we should not ignore or forget. Whether you are a Pastor, an Evangelist, a teacher, a Principal, a stay at home parent, a business owner, an employee or a student, let us remember our …

Looking Forward to a Time of Refreshing

On April 18, 2013, citizens of Boston as with other years felt the excitement and the thrill as they took their places next to one another in the race to prove who had the best time. The Marathon gives others who are physically handicapped opportunities to run this race as well. It is a time when Boston and all who come from different countries come together in unity and in …

Christ’s Resurrection and its Significance for our Lives

The purpose of this article is to affirm that Jesus Christ is alive. I want to go a step further and discuss, what I believe, is the significance of his resurrection. His resurrection is significant in that we are accepted into God’s family; we understand that Jesus intercedes on our behalf before the Father; and we can have hope and live in newness of life. We are …

Do Not Procrastinate; Fulfill Your Dream

In my previous post, I discussed how my husband and I were in a car accident, how we accidentally came off the highway and landed on a guard-rail. As a result of this accident, I have gone through moments of insecurity, experiencing fear of driving at night, fear driving a rental car and my replacement car. I have not felt the same. I have also had to pray and remember that God …

Praying at the Right Moment

The teacher in the Newtown, Connecticut School shooting must have prayed at the very moment and God gave her the insight to hide all her students in the closet and face the killer herself. She died in that tragedy but saved all the children in her classroom. Have you ever prayed at the right moment only to find that God had answered your prayer and saved you or someone else …

Let Us Lift Up Jesus

The advent season is a time when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and share the love of Jesus with our family and friends: by visiting them, partaking in meals together and through gift-giving. Some of us make charitable contributions, feed the hungry or help in other ways. Others attend church services or go to different venues to listen to musical renditions such as …

Be Thankful for the Good Things

These past two weeks were hectic for me. My daughter and I had been looking around for a venue to host her wedding reception. I had gone to a grand opening celebration ceremony of a minister friend of mine who had moved to a new location. I was volunteering for an organization for five hours this week and was offered a free ticket to attend their conference. On Friday, one of …
