I cannot want more for you than you want for you. If you do something for me when you get tired of doing it you will stop doing it and blame me.  I want you to want to change.  I want you to want to love and live on purpose.  I want you to want to serve God and undergo a lifestyle change.  You should not do it because you think it’s the “in” thing or because your mother or father wants you to.  I…

What You Need Pastor Andy Thompson Matthew 6:6-8;31-33 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need…

What someone thinks of me has nothing to do with me. I am an introvert not because I lack social skills but because I really like being by myself. I have participated in club life but I decided 2 years ago I wanted more out of life than clubbing. So I do not get excited about the club like I did I’m my 20s and 30s. What excites me is going to school and obtaining knowledge. What excites me is not…

The enemy will use what ever tactics to distract you.  Do no think it’s strange when you want to do the right thing and something from your past comes knocking.  A stroll down memory lane can put you on a path to hell.

You cannot live Holy without sacrifice.  That is one thing I learned.   Salvation can be instant but sanctification requires sacrifice.  You have to make up in your mind you are going to live for Jesus no matter.   I heard someone say they were going to live for Jesus even if they have to drag their flesh kicking and screaming into the will of God.  Your flesh is not going to want to do it but…

I grew up a small town girl.  I was raised in Falkland, North Carolina surrounded by some great examples of motherhood.  From the Barnes family to Williams family , Johnsons to Dupree’s, Harris to Gorham’s,  Wooten’s to the Whites  and  the Vines family  to the Stancil family, I grew up surrounded by some pretty awesome women who loved their family and loved God.

They just didn’t love their own…

Sometimes my response to people and their comments seem to rub them the wrong way.  Well today was no different.  I was having a conversation with a friend who saw my post about World Overcomers having a Raleigh location.  The conversation went something like this:

Her:  So what denomination is World Overcomers?

Me:  Christian

Her:  Are you Baptist, Holiness, COGIC…what denomination are you?

Me: …

Relationships are not easy and they require work.  You have two individuals who are learning to become one. In that you have to learn to compromise and you have to learn to listen to what is said and to what is not said.  You can’t be so self-absorbed that you ignore the needs and the feelings of the person you are with.  When you care about someone you don’t dwell on the differences but you…

Too often I hear women who are left by men say some interesting things. I hear women say how she made her ex better. I hear women say she prepared her ex for the next woman. I even hear women say how she was the best thing he will ever have. To these women that statement may sound true, but I it might not be true. Here is the thing, if you were all that, he probably would still be with you.

Then…

Relationships aren’t easy.  They require commitment, compromise and work.  The sad thing is some people want relationships but they don’t want to put in any work and when their relationship doesn’t work they blame the other person without looking at themselves.

So as I was sitting here thinking about my own relationship I want to share some things.

The first thing I want to share you can’t move…

I wrote this a while back and I wanted to repost because tomorrow is Easter and I wanted to share for those who may not understand what this day symbolizes.  I say below Easter has nothing to do with a bunny but all to do with Jesus who died on the cross for all of us.  What better story to share than a story about a Man who forgave even when He was facing death.  This story should inspire each…

Being a woman isn’t always easy.  Often times than not we are judged by our appearance instead of who we are.  We are expected to look a certain way and act a certain way.  We are expected to be walking perfection when the reality is perfection can only be lived by delusional because there is no such thing as a perfect person.

Sometimes it feels we are forced to hide behind the images others have…

Was reading the book of Ruth and there were so many nuggets I could share with you regarding this book in the Bible but I will try to keep this short and sweet. I said earlier today “I know women who the only thing they get out of the book of Ruth is the fact she married Boaz. But my favorite thing about the book of Ruth is it shows the importance of Loyalty and Accountability.”

The first chapter…

There is hope in love.

There is joy and a sense of security in love.

There is loyalty and trust in love.

There is an expectation and a calm associated with loving someone.

There is also the fear of the unknown in love.

There are the imperfections that are exposed by love.

There is a faith that you have to have that when you love someone your feelings and the love they have for you will keep…
