Sufficiency is a gift from God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God (2 Corinthians 3:5). This weekend we celebrated Resurrection Sunday and Passover. I always think of the prayer we pray during Passover. It’s called Dayenu, which means ‘It would have been enough (sufficient). It is a song of thanksgiving and praise. Take a moment to read this prayer and meditate on it. When you began to look back over your life and see all that God has brought you through, shout Dayenu (It Would Have Read More

Delays: Wait Patiently for the Lord
Delays happen. Delay is defined as postponing until a later time; defer, to cause to be later or slower than expected or desired. Our focus scripture is Isaiah 40:31 – “But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.” I have been hearing the Lord say ‘Stop making excuses; stop procrastinating, stop playing Read More
In All of these Things: Be Courageous
Be Courageous! It’s been crazy the last couple of weeks (or months/years). Things are changing rapidly. I remember this time last year when Oklahoma had record flooding and I thought to myself ‘I have never seen anything like this’. It started raining and never stopped until numerous towns were underwater. Some people are still trying to recover from that event. Fast forward a year and now we have a pandemic on our hands. Once again, I thought to myself ‘I have never seen anything like it’. This pandemic brought unemployment, sickness and disease, and death by the thousands. Fast forward Read More
Manifesting: Four Phases of Spiritual Birthing
Manifesting means to make clear or evident to the eye or the understanding. Are you longing for a change? Are you sensing a change in the Spirit? God is giving us those desires we have been praying about. You are on the cusp of giving birth, manifesting that dream within you. Manifesting or spiritual birthing can be difficult. A woman about to give birth is in labor. Manifesting is labor-intensive. Several of us find ourselves in this phase of our lives. We are trying to birth a baby that God put within us. Well, get ready. That baby (vision) is about 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
