I have been hearing the Holy Ghost say ROAR for the last few weeks. Every song I heard, everything I read and heard was about ROARING. I have been meditating on this for a while and God finally released me to write about it. It’s time for God’s people to speak up, take a stand, and shout to the heavens. The enemy thinks he has won; but God said if you want to see His hand move in your circumstance AND in your camp, you need to RISE UP AND SHOUT. ROAR, BECAUSE THERE IS VICTORY IN YOUR CAMP.

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.

Forever Grateful: Created to Praise Him
I am forever grateful for the cross and that He came to seek and save the lost. Giving thanks to God, for His mercy endures forever.

It Is Well With My Soul!
My thoughts today dwell on the hymn, It Is Well With My Soul. It’s my 62nd birthday. A great day to celebrate my life and all the wonderful things God has done for me. I recently completed a scripture garden in my backyard. It’s filled with plants, stones, an angel statue and a welcome garden flag. The majority of the stones in this garden have scripture printed on them. Some single scriptures like Mark 11:23-24, others are combined in groups to create the basic theme of the scripture, Galatians 5:22-23 (Fruits of the Spirit). One of the stones I created Read More
