Reading The Bible
The Bible is no ordinary book. It is a collection of books, letters and texts written under divine inspiration. These stories are Gods words to us. Through these texts God reveals who He is, who we are to Him and why we are all here. It explains things about prayer, our true nature as spiritual beings and tells the stories of many people from all different walks of life. While reading the Bible, it can speak to you. It can speak to your life, your current situation and t

Fruits of The Spirit
The fruits of the spirit come with the baptism of the Holy Spirit or receiving the Holy Spirit. People describe this experience in many different ways but it is that moment when you become that new creature in Christ that the bible speaks about. This is an event that you will not be able to second guess or question. No one will have to tell you and it will not have to be verified. You will know because it will be life changing. For me this was an experience that I had no

Passing Judgement
There is a story in the bible, where the Pharisees brought a woman to Jesus, who was caught committing adultery (John 8:1-11). The laws of the time said that this woman should be stoned to death. The Pharisees knew the laws but they wanted to test Jesus to see what he would say. So they presented this woman to Jesus, basically asking Him if she should be punished or not. The Pharisees knew the knew that this woman had committed a crime (sin). But because of the way Jesus

The Testimonies Of Others
For most of my life, I felt like I was just going through the motions of being a Christian. I was attending church regularly. I was active in my church, working mostly with the youth and some secretarial duties. I was a good person. I paid my tithes and offering. With all that I couldn't help it but I was still unsure of where I stood with God. Deep down in my heart I didn't know if I would make it into Heaven. I couldn't helping feeling that there was more. Eventually

Obedience
The life of a Christian begins with a belief in Jesus Christ. A belief in who He is, The Son of God. A part of the godhead, the Father, 'the Son' and the Holy Spirit. A belief that He came to save us and gave his life so that we may have the right to eternal life. He is known as the Lamb of God, the Messiah, the visible image of an invisible God, God in the flesh and so many other things. He is our Savior, the King of Kings. For me He is my everything, my daily motivatio

No Days Off
Work is an activity involving mental or physical effort, done to achieve a goal. For most of us the work we do on our jobs accomplishes a goal for our employers. And for many more of us the motivation to continue these tasks is financial compensation. We work so that we can provide for ourselves and take care of our families. The jobs most of us work do not require 24 hour attention. We are allowed time off. If you work a 40 hour work week like I do, you also get days of

Seasons Change
Seasons are separations that break up the year. These separations are marked by changes in the weather. Even the behavior of the plants and animals change throughout the seasons. Seasons come and they go but they affect us all. We have four seasons, spring, summer, fall and winter. Spring is the season where life starts. When seeds are planted and take root. In the summer, the temperatures rise. This is when growth takes place and fruit is produced. The fall is the se

A Phenomenon of Prayer
I usually blog on Sunday but this week was different. I was really busy Sunday and when I finally got home it was late. I love blogging and sharing my thoughts about God with anyone willing to listen but this week I felt like I missed my opportunity. I did not feel motivated and just wasn't going to do it. Fact is I really wasn't sure if anyone was reading, if anyone would notice or if anyone cared. But to my surprise my coworker asked me if I blogged this week or if she

Don't Stop Praying
Prayer is our communication with God. It is how we acknowledge Him. It is how we show respect and reverence to who He is. It is also how we exhibit our faith. It takes faith and trust to quietly go to the Lord with your head held low, hands pressed together and know that your God has heard your request. In prayer we open our hearts, minds and thoughts to God. Of course He knows everything anyway. But this is more for us to show Him that we know exactly who He is. There

New Life in Christ
A new life is available for each and everyone of us in Christ. Some may ask, what does that really mean? It means exactly what it says. A new life, a life totally different from the one you were born into. A life full of new motivation and purpose. The life that He has planned for you is better than anything that you can plan for yourself. You see we are all sinners. We are all born into bodies of flesh and as we live, we seek to satisfy our physical wants and needs. W

Be Intentional
To be intentional means to move or act in a deliberate manner. To do something on purpose. To make a conscious decision towards an intended goal. It means that the desired outcome was not achieved by accident, coincidence or chance. Being intentional requires that you knowingly consider the response to your actions. God is intentional. He is deliberate in His every action. And every time He responds to us it is for a designed purpose. With an expected and known reactio

Pray Then Listen
Prayer is defined as an earnest hope or wish. It is also a request for help or an expression of thanks addressed to God. But to put it simply prayer is our communication with God. Of course He already knows everything but it is important for us to make an effort to talk to Him. It gives us the chance to acknowledge Him for who He is. To come to Him in reverence and with respect as our...everything. If God is really important to you, you will make the time to talk to Him.

1/2 Truth 1/2 Lie
What is the Truth? It is defined as a fact or belief that is accepted as true. Also as honesty, genuineness, the gospel. You cannot go wrong if you are following the truth. The truth will lead you to those things that are right, positive and true. Now, what is a lie? It is defined as a statement that is known and intended to be misleading, inaccurate or false. The purpose of a lie is to lead you away from the truth. To misinform, to lead astray, an intentionally false

Happy Anniversary
This week end marks a huge accomplishment in my life. As of May 18th 2018, me and my husband have been married for 16 years. That may not be much to some and it may seem like a life time to others. But for me it seems like no time at all. It seems like just yesterday that me, Jay and little Darius stood in front of Elder Webb reciting our vows. It wasn't planned but Darius stood right up front with us and looking back at the pictures I would not change a thing. Marriage

Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day to all mother's everywhere. Especially my mother, Sharone Pace. I am so thankful to God that I still have her in my life, There is something special about a mother's love. She loves you because you are hers, just because you are a part of her. She loves you so much that she would risk her life to protect you. It's a very powerful love that creates a strong bond. We realize this but sometimes we take it for granted. We take it for granted because we t

Stand Alone
I am going to apologize ahead of time, if this comes across the wrong way. This is a subject that has caused me some hurt as I began my journey. Now I really believe that I am over this, that I've grown from this experience and have begun to heal. But this is something that I still would like to talk about. I am sure that you have heard people say that, when you change your life for the Lord, that you are going to lose some friends. I have heard many pastors say this over
