I’m doing my best; I’m doing the best I can; this is the best I can do. Have you made any of those statements before? If you have you’re not alone. But is it really your best? When things aren’t going well in our life, as people, we are quick to say: “I’m doing […]

There Is No Timeline For Breakthrough!
Breakthrough is coming. We all hear it at church, and from motivational speakers. Some of us doubt if breakthrough will ever come, and some of us know it can happen, we just want it to come now. In September of 2008, we planned a Princess Party for our daughter. Even though, we had little […]

Finding yourself stressed about: money, relationships, work, traffic, or even your health? Could you imagine life without worry? Well, you should because worrying is a choice, and you can decide not to let the cares of this world effect you physically, emotionally and even spiritually.

In the beginning of our time of struggle, we had every excuse in the book for why we were in our situation. The economy, lack of finances, people not doing what they said they would […]
Keeping Your Peace In The Worst Of Times!
It’s not easy embracing a life of God’s Priorities when you’re hitting the grind everyday to make ends meet. We became desperate for God, when we lost everything. When God is all you got, you find new and liberating ways to seek Him first. After all, who else was going to save us from this […]
