Many of us have dreams we want to pursue, goals we want to accomplish, achievements we want to attain. But the problem with our dreams and our goals is that they are just like the New Year’s Resolutions that we make every year. They never move from our mind and the piece of paper we […] Read more…

“My neighbor is better off than me”
It’s funny how you can be excited about the new car that you just bought…until you look at your neighbor’s driveway and see that his is better. It’s funny how you can be grateful for the job that you have…until you talk to your neighbor about his job and see that his pay is better. […] Read more…
“I’m not the person I want to be”
Can I be really honest with all of you? Sometimes I really don’t like myself. I wake up in the morning and I don’t like the reflection of the girl I see in the mirror. Not because I’m having a bad hair day (although that may be the case at times) but because I’m far […] Read more…
Deciding how your story will end…
You didn’t get to choose what country you were born in. You didn’t get to choose your background. You didn’t get to choose the family that raised you. You didn’t even get to choose your name. You didn’t get to choose how your began your life here on earth. But today… you can choose how […] Read more…

What’s on YOUR Resumé?
If I was looking for a great group of friends to depend on I probably wouldn’t choose any of Jesus’ disciples, they all ran from Him when He needed them the most. (Matthew 26:56) If I was looking for someone to represent our nation in public, I probably wouldn’t choose Moses. He had a speaking […] Read more…
In the Background Where Nobody Sees
Nobody grows up dreaming to be a janitor when they grow up. Cleaning toilets in the back where nobody will notice. Nobody stands in long lines outside of studios waiting for a chance to become someone working in the backstage before the show. Nobody gives up years of their life to chase the dream of […] Read more…
I’m no Mother Theresa but I Can Change the World
When I was a little girl I thought I could change the world. There was a fire burning deep inside that couldn’t be put out. I would lie in my bed and dream about all the ways I could reach out to those around me. I would stay up late crying out and praying for […] Read more…
I’ll Do It… Tomorrow.
We all make excuses. Excuses for staying in our comfort zones instead of reaching for our dreams. Excuses for living halfheartedly instead of giving God our all. Excuses for remaining in the same place we’ve always been and never taking a step forward. See… tomorrow always seems like a better day to do everything God […] Read more…
