God gave Eve another Word concerning this posting. Please see below: The Lord impressed me to update this blog post. Isaiah 46:4 (TPT) – “Even as you grow old and your hair turns gray, I’ll keep carrying you! I am your Maker and your Caregiver. I will carry you and be your Savior.” Prayer: Father, thank you for taking care of me even when I failed to care for myself. I admit that I slack at doing my part and I take full responsibility for my actions. I promise not to be a heavy load as You carry me, and Read More

Following God’s plan for you life instead of your own
In Pursuit of Purpose
Being in pursuit of your purpose is important to God. God created each of us with a purpose in mind. One of my school assignments last week was to write a paper on my journey to the doctoral program. Because I often teach on purpose and destiny, I added a paragraph about how God leads us toward our purpose. I thought I would share some of that insight. I hope this blesses you as you continue in pursuit of your purpose. You have been asking God to show you why you are here. I can guarantee you the reason you Read More
Seasons: Trust God in Your New Season
I am in a new season, as many of you are. God has directed me to go back to school to obtain my doctorate in Educational Leadership. So far, it’s been an amazing journey. It may appear that God has abandoned you in this new season, but take a breath and wait. Listen, the voice of the Holy Spirit will start to speak to you, bringing you comfort. Everything will be ok. Just trust and obey. I spoke with a young lady the other day. She had been engaged to be married, but something did not feel right. She broke Read More
Forky: Life Lessons from Toy Story 4
I found this wonderful article “Life Lessons from Toy Story 4” by Rita Dunaway. The author gives us a look at the life lessons we can learn from the movie Toy Story 4. Toy Story 4 centers around a new toy named “Forky.” Actually, he’s not a fork; he’s a plastic spork. Bonnie, the little girl who owns Woody and the other lovable toys, created Forky with her own hands on her first day in kindergarten. How many of you remember how afraid you were on your first day? Bonnie is very proud of her creation, having made him from Read More
Telling My Story: 63 Years of Reflections
Today I am telling my story. My story started on June 17, 1956. Today is my 63rd birthday. In celebration, I am reflecting on my 63 years of life. To do this, I am using one of the songs from the Hamilton Musical, Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story. The song starts like this: “Let me tell you what I wished I’d known when I was young and dreamed of glory you have no control, who lives, who dies, who tells your story.” There is a lot of truth in this statement and a few lessons to be Read More
Proverbs 30:5 – WORD UP!
I LOVE GOD’S WORD. Proverbs 30:5 says “Every WORD of God proves true. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.” Psalm 91 is one of my favorite scriptures. I love every verse. When I think of all the times I have relied on this scripture; believe me, there are too many to count. The recent storms roaring through Oklahoma are a good example of how much I rely on this scripture. We’ve had night after night of tornados, torrential rain, hail, and high winds. I cannot be more convinced that God acts when we speak Read More
