I have always enjoyed listening to and singing the song that says “This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine…”; however, I didn’t know it was going to be so hard to let this light of mine shine. I mean, how hard can it be to let light shine? The older I…

Before we dive into the core of this topic, I will take a small detour, and I believe the Holy Spirit will make it all make sense at the end, so please keep reading. Thanks! As the legalistic Christian that I was, I used to use the Bible as a powerful instrument, but for the…

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. On that day, many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many…

He (Jesus) said to them: Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Luke 13:24 Growing up, I used to think that the narrow way meant poverty, and poverty was a prerequisite for heaven. Which means, unless I’m on…

This topic is to build on the previous topic titled: “God has invested too much in you, so you cannot remain silent.” Therefore, you can consider this Part 2 if you wish. It wasn’t until I worked at a beauty supply store that I realized how terrible my advertising skills were.  Advertising is not my…

A few days ago, I posted a blog where I mentioned that at times, the Lord would have us remain silent for a while. However, in this blog, I will discuss the time when one cannot remain silent. You may think this is contradictory, or even question whether God goes against His own word at…

I have talked to people who have dealt with self-hate, and as someone who has dealt with it myself, I can say that I have never heard or encountered someone who wakes up one morning and says: I desire to hate myself. Self-hate is not something that happens overnight, and it isn’t something that you…

There is nothing more aggravating than working with a team that is not on the same page as you. Whether someone is the CEO of a company or the co-manager of a business, if the team is not working toward the same goals, there will be confusion and chaos. Such issues can hinder the company’s…
