You have got to try the Orange Brownie. OMG...it is the best by far! SO if she has some baked, get it! You won't be dissappointed! I like them so much that I wrote a rap about them.

I need to work on time management. Can anyone else relate? God's kinda been hinting that I need to make some adjustments in this area for a couple reasons. First of all, it seems I am getting through things on damage control mode...one eventful moment after another. I seem to always be late places and always tired. More importantly, I know He has asked me to do somethings I have been so caught up in my own craziness that I haven't made his word, will and commands top priority. It's got to change. I remind myself that His will and plans are so much bigger than mine. I also remind myself that time is wrapping up and I've got to get on the ball with things...His things. James 4:13-15 Look here, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year, we will do business there and make a profit." How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog - it's there for a little while, then it...

When you hear the word forgiveness, what automatically goes through your mind? Do you see a person that has hurt you deep to the core? Maybe you were the one that did the hurting? If we are honest, we can all say that we have been on both ends of forgiveness. We have at one time forgave and at another time been the forgiven. If you are like me, there are times when you find yourself at a point where you need to forgive yourself. You know the saying..."We are our own worst critic." Do you find that true? I thought to myself, I am going to write down all the things I feel I need forgiveness from. Um...3 pages later, I decided I had a lot of things I was holding on to and needed to forgive myself for. No wonder I was exhausted; I was carrying huge amounts of guilt day in and day out. Psalm 103:3-4 He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies . Thank God I can let go of this stuff. Thank God He doesn't...

Hi. Meet my old friend the monster. His name is selfishness. He has been a friend for far too long. It's really time for him to go. It's amazing how big he has got in such a small amount of time. Yet he gets uglier by the day. I don't consider myself as the selfish type that boast. It's really not about what I have. It's quite the opposite actually. I seem to get caught up in what I don't have and where I lack instead. Still, it's all about me. Well, NO MORE. I believe, and therefore have to stand on the statement that "I hold something that the world desperately needs."(Lisa Bevere, Nurture) So I can't isolate and withdraw anymore. I can't live in past broken friendships and hurts. I get to make friends and live fully in the gifts and talents God has given me. I wrote a rap about it. Haha . Envision this white girl spittin '. (That means rapping for those who are not down with ghetto lingo.) Here it goes. It's called: The Monst...

Fear. Such a small word but with huge consequences. If we are honest, we have all been held captive to fear at one time or another. Fear in tangled us like vines wrapped around us keeping us from moving, speaking or even thinking of anything other than the situation itself. Maybe you have fear over your future. Maybe it is finances. Maybe you are afraid of others perceptions of yourself. Whatever it is, this fear has trapped us and kept us from sharing God's true life of victory He has for us. A verse that has been on my mind a lot lately: Rev 12:11 And they defeated him (the devil) because of the blood of the Lamb and their testimony. And they were not afraid to die . There has got to be a time when enough is enough. You get sick of watching those around you hurting and struggling. Your heart breaks for those who are broken. You just can't keep quiet any longer. So here it is...my testimony. Since I was young, I have always struggled with being too self conscious. I care too...

My friend at work was so nice to go get me a lemonade tea from Taco Mayo. And as I glanced at the cup, I read this on the cup..."A full cup must be carried STEADILY." How true is that in our relationship with Christ?! If you are like me, you have prayed on more than one occasion this prayer, "God fill me and use me. Overflow in my life!" The problem comes when we don't change our ways. We walk around clumsy and spilling ourselves in selfish ways instead of opening ourselves up for God to purify us and help us stand up tall. Most of the time, it is easier for us to sit in our complacent recliner waiting for God to move. It doesn't work that way. God's done His part. He gave all...His time, His life and His love. Thank God He is the faithful one in our relationship. We have got to step out of our clumsy ways and get steady with God. We've got to create a foundation and a relationship with Him that can not be moved. The world is waiting for us; for so...
