I am not a captive to Fear, Worry, Anxiety or Doubt
This is a 21 Day Devotional Fast I am currently doing from the YouVersion bible.com app. It has been every encouraging so far and I particularly loved this devotion which has given me more insight into living in faith with God. The devotion is quoted below. Devotional “In the famous narrative of David fighting Goliath, David needed one single shot to Goliath’s forehead. So the question follows, why did David pick up five stones when he only needed one? Generally there are two camps of thought; one camp says that David lacked faith; and another says that it was because Goliath had 4 brothers. The first is refuted because David…

Transition
As I lay on my bed, a million and one thoughts come rushing to mind. I question why is all “this” happening to me?” Everything seems to be malfunctioning one after the other. If it’s not one thing it’s another. At first I chose to pay little attention to it but things get to a point when it really touches that last nerve and I can no longer bare it anymore. I soon began to question why must I let go of certain things or people. Honestly, I do not fully understand at this point. At this point of life, things make you feel like you are in a maze.…

He offers Peace & Direction
Promises of God. If you are like me there comes a time in your walk with God when you seem a bit puzzled when faced with decisions. You may question; Should I join this group now or should I wait a little later? Should I go ahead and purchase two pairs of… (glasses) or one? Should I go to dinner with this guy or not? Should I purchase this toy for my son or not? Should I begin this project or that other one? Should I continue with ballet class or drop it? You may be bombarded with a myriad of questions as you try your best to walk earnestly…

A Journey To Discipline
One of the things I’ve realized is that it is always easy for me to begin a thing but to continue it for a longer period is challenging. For example, I have seen myself get all hyped about waking up early in the morning to exercise for the first week, even the second week but by the third week, I’m like, “give me just five more minutes in bed please, I just can’t…” Then this turns into an hour and days go by and I have missed my goal. I do realize though that this does not happen for everything just the things I need to put more effort into…

It’s Still Possible – Just BELIEVE
Isn’t it funny how we (women) tend to put others first a lot of the time. We are always ready to serve others be it our children, parents, husband, church family, even our jobs and oftentimes tend to forget about ourselves. We often sacrifice our desires to meet that of those we love and serve. I question, why do we sacrifice so much for others and forget about the passions engraved deep within our heart? We sometimes push so hard for others and are so consumed by the cares of those we serve that we even forget that we once upon a time used to dream. Please note I am…

Go Where He Calls You
Go where He calls you. He has already prepared the way. Be Strong. Be Courageous. God is with you. Joshua 1:9 tells us “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified or dismayed (intimidated), for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” However let’s dig a little deeper. In Joshua 1 from verses 1 to 9 God spoke to Him after His leader past and instructed him to take up the mantle and gave him the keys to be successful. This is outlined from verses five (5) then in verse nine (9) reminded him that He would not be alone because He (God) would…

Three Rules to Success
The Bible is fundamentally the best business strategist book you can find out there. Can I just add that it is the Best book for success in Life? OK. It is the Best Book for Success in Life!
