Contemplating means to think profoundly and at length, to meditate. I have been contemplating the top five events of 2021 in my life. I have completed so many things which at some point I thought were not possible, but with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). God is the author and finisher of my faith journey (Hebrews 12:2). Here are my top five 2021 moments in review.

Basics: Transformed and Chosen
Basics are those things which are fundamental in your Christian walk. Prayer, worship, love, faith, and giving. God is telling us to get back to the basics. Over the past few months I have felt like God is slowing things down. He is telling us to SLOW YOUR ROLL. It’s like a skier going downhill and as the momentum of the downward slop decreases, the skier starts to slow down as well. In this season, God wants us to get back to the BASICS of our faith. Spend more time in prayer and worship; increase your love walk (actively love, 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
Garden of God: Flourishing In His Care
I have been busy planting new plants in my garden. I love working in the garden because it reminds me of how much Jesus loves and cares for us. We are like plants in a beautiful garden that desires to be watered by the power of the Holy Spirit and fed with nutrients from the Word of God. We will grow strong in our faith and reach out our precious branches of love to others. God sees us as a flourishing garden filled with worship and praise. The Word tells us: Isaiah 61:11 – For as the earth brings forth Read More
Dreams: It’s Time to Let Go!
Dreams. It’s time to let go of some of those dreams. I was reading a devotional the other day that said, some of you have been crying out to God for somethings which were not meant for you, but He gave them to you anyway just as He gave Israel a king (1 Samuel 8). Go back and read that story; it’s eye-opening. God reluctantly gave Israel what they wanted, but He also warned them what would happen to them by receiving what they had asked for. Do not be too swift to run to God and ask for things Read More
LOVE: It’s an Action Verb
LOVE. There is a lot we can say about love. Depending on the Bible translation, you can find love mentioned between 200 and 600 times. God wants us to know all about LOVE. Not that feeling people get when they think they love someone; I am talking about God’s love. LOVE is a verb and requires action. It’s something God commands us to do. Let us love one another () because God is love. Happy Valentine’s day. On this day when we make an extra effort to let others know we love them, remember God is LOVE and He loved Read More
