Have you been tried in the FIRE?

There’s an old song that I use to hear by The Florida Mass choir called “Have you been tried in the fire”. Over the weekend I took time to reflect and spend some quiet time with God. I was working on a project and paused, I began to think about my mother’s death anniversary approaching.

WHAT ABOUT ME?

Have you ever felt like everyone around you was moving up, reaching their goals, flourishing, and becoming?  Did you find yourself becoming bitter? Starting to compare or compete? Have you ever gotten to the point where you began to grow weary and ask God ” WHAT ABOUT ME”? Today I want to encourage the women who are always comparing their lives to others.

If we could we’d bury ourself in things to refrain from having to be vulnerable with others. Read more

Life sometimes has gotten the best of me and discouragement has even tried to become my friend.  I’ve been down, hurt and broken and even played the game of pretending. Girl I know! It’s been a rough and bumpy road but I’m glad I didn’t stop! I am so happy I found a man, a REAL  man and he introduced me to a lifestyle that I’ll never give up! Read more
