Love's Hope Heals

I’ve said it before several times, but it bears repeating, for it still rings true.

I am convinced that the enemy does his best to make my life miserable. It’s not because I am so unique or special, rather it’s because he knows that he will never succeed at getting me to turn my back on Jesus. His efforts have proven futile and fruitless, yet his attacks remain relentless.

I figured it must be…

The Mind of Christ

This morning during prayer my baby girl let me know that she had been struggling with nasty thoughts. She has a gross looking scar from a hang nail that is healing. Now she can’t get the image of the scab out of her mind and it’s really beginning to bother because she envisions it all of the time. I was immediately reminded of the scripture Philippians 4:8, “whatever is true, noble, right, pure,…

Last month I ran into my coffee table and busted my knee.  It’s nothing new for me. My body is quite accustomed to bruises and pain.  I’m clumsy.  I’m such a doer that I often get so caught up in my long lists of tasks that I fail to see things that are right in front of me…hence the busted knee.

My legs rarely get any sun so they are pretty bright.  Consequently, I get the ugliest looking…

Most of us feel pity when we see others suffering.  If we see a woman crying or a child who has fallen and hurt themselves we feel some type of empathy.  We feel sorry for the people who have been unjustly killed or sacrificed for the sake of hatred.  We become responsive.

Funny thing is, most people can’t even stand the people that they see every day like co-workers, bosses, family members,…

Okay so this is a picture of my baby, Fire.  I call this car my baby because it’s the first car that I ever bought and financed and I was so proud of myself.  Guess you’re wondering what happened right?  Well, let me tell you…

Yesterday was Father’s Day.  My mom, sister, and I led Praise and Worship at a family member’s church.  Being the woman of little to no direction skills that I am I…

Today I saw a beautiful illustration of hope on Instagram. It was a picture of a root deep below the dirt.  The caption on that picture said, “Sometimes when you’re in a dark place you think you’ve been buried, but actually you’ve been planted.”  I love that.  That’s called hope.  It’s the light at the end of the tunnel that tells you that you can make it and better days are coming.  That’s what…

Okay so when I first started this blog about being a virtuous woman I thought that I would incorporate every single aspect of my life on this here blog.  I added my struggle with food and exercise, my son’s autism, my natural hair, being a mother, being a wife, reading books….the list goes on. I am so thankful to the ones of you who have decided to follow me in all the chaos but I have decided to…

The Next Big Thing

I’ve spent so much of my life waiting for the next big thing because I’m a very driven project oriented person.  I could never settle with where I was even as a child.   I couldn’t wait to be a teenager.  As a teenager I couldn’t wait to be grown so I could get married, have kids, and live happily ever after.  So after being slapped in the face by reality I found myself waiting again.  I’m…

Vaccines and autism has become a monumental issue.  Parents please get your children vaccinated.  The theory about vaccines causing autism has been debunked repeatedly.  A recent study surveyed over 95,000 children over eleven years and the same results prevailed.  Vaccines don’t cause autism.  As a matter of a fact the doctor that initially made the claim has been stripped of his license.  His…
