So, does someone believe in you when you have something in mind you want to do? The person who should believe in YOU is YOU!

I want to be a good friend…
In my prayer, I said to Jesus, “I want to be a good mother, I want to be a good role model, I want to be a good wife, and most of all, I want to be a good friend to you, Jesus.” You have to be a friend to make a friend. Does Jesus get included in all your…
A FREE Gift…
Yes, I know. Especially during this hectic shopping season, when we hear or see the word FREE, we tend to look because we are interested or at least curious? And yes, skeptical.

Bottle of Tears…
I walked in the room and saw different shapes and sizes and asked, “What are these bottles filled with?” The warm inviting voice replied, “These bottles are filled with tears. I collect tears -some joyful, but most sorrowful and plan to use these for my good.” In those moments, I feel a touch on my skin as many flashbacks enter…
God sees you as…
Do you wonder how God sees you? Well, God sees you as you will be. He has a purpose for each of our lives; however, many people never discover their purpose or they are too afraid to pursue it. We get caught up in so much that this world has to offer us- all tricks by Satan to prevent us…
