He had a plan.

Jeremiah 29:11 It was so good to be able to sit in the worship service today and hear the Man of God bring the preached Word. Today at ECBC, Pastor Steven honored the 2025 graduates. It was a beautiful thing seeing those graduating from high school, college, and completing continuing education because it highlighted just how God is moving in different levels.

“I’m just tryna do something positive ma’am!”

“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.” Revelations 22:12 Just getting off of work I decided to stop by CVS to get some feminine products and use my coupon before it expires. For ya’ll who know me, you know I’m a bargain shopper, and I dare not let a coupon go to waste. And a 40 percent off coupon at that, like what?! So anyway as I was…

Every family has “that ONE!”

God has chosen you and made you his holy people. He loves you. So always do these things: Show mercy to others; be kind, humble, gentle and patient. Do not be angry with each other, but forgive each other. If someone does wrong to you, then forgive him. Forgive each other because the Lord forgave you. Fo all these things; but most important, love each other. Love is what holds you all together in…

Fear not, for I am with you;Be not dismayed, for I am your God.I will strengthen you,Yes, I will help you,I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 Back in the later part of February I attended a meeting with some very active members of the Eau Claire/City of Columbia area.

Distracted by all the preparations.

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16 I had been wrestling with message that God placed on my spirit since hearing a Bible Study by Dr. Lovely Rahming on March 7, 2025 that was in response to a Women’s Conference: I Survived It. Dr. Rahming shared so many nuggets that instead of me focusing and…

Seeking time to just BE with you.

Matthew 6:6 Memory Verse of the Day I’ve tried all day to write these words and it seems like distractions are at all time high today. I simply sought to sit and just be, but it doesn’t seem that simple these days. And so I sit in the midst of chaos, other peoples gripes and moans, loud music, conversations, dogs barking, basketballs bouncing, and more. I never thought it would be so hard to get…

God is my Everything!

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 During a time when we look at the news, we turn on the radio, open up social media, read the newspaper, or just walk down the street you hear about all the devastation that is going on around our world. And if you look…

A community that builds and molds each other.

I would hear a church member of mine say, “We are better together.” It reminds me of what Scripture says in Acts 2: 42-47 (see below) In other words, you see God’s intent for society, for community is for people to lean on one another. There is statical data that proves people need people. Look at covid! Look at what it did to not only our young people but our country. It caused us to take…

Serving God together in 2025.

Todays Scripture reference is Acts 16:5-10 NKJV On this past Sunday my Pastor spoke about Paul’s second missionary journey. With God’s assistance over the next few Sundays, Pastor Steven plans to go in depth about Paul’s three missionary journeys. As he preached there were several questions asked/ or statements made that stood out to me. They had a lasting impression on me and I want to take a…

God showed me the way.

So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.and He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.”Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me.Ezekiel 2:1-2 After the busyness that the Holidays brought, I had some much needed time with family. Over the Christmas Holiday I was able to…

A Missionary’s vision.

Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 I woke up at 4:58 with an old school gospel song by the Mississippi Mass Choir. The song is entitled “When I Rose this morning.” If you’ve never heard it, I urge you to jump start your morning and listen to it. I’m telling you, you won’t need Red Bull to…

I’m hot and tired but I won’t quit.

🎶 I just can’t give up now, I’ve come too far from where I started from. Nobody told me that the road would be easy but I don’t believe He’s brought this far to leave me. 🎶 Sometimes when my mind tries to play tricks on me I have to sing songs like Mary Mary’s “Can’t Give Up Now” to restore my positive outlook. The devil been riding my coat tail and though he has been served his eviction…

Gotta keep on pushin

But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded. 2 Chronicles 15:7 On a day like today I find myself thinking of the words from Genesis 50:20. It reads, As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. And then I go to the book of Galatians and read 6:9 to give me a piece of…

Trapped in that place.

Scripture of the Day: Psalm 107:13-14 Economic disparities. Social injustices. Marginal inequalities. Poverty. Generational curses. Mental illness. Heartache. Systems created to hinder or oppress. Negativity. Poor self image. These are just a few examples of what can make a person feel trapped. In definition, to be trapped means to prevent someone from escaping from a place. Is there something…
