At the beginning of 2017 I attended my sweet friend, Jade’s, small group. I was late because I had work, but I made it. The main question was; what is the lord decreeing over your life for 2017?  My answer? Well I didn’t have one because I didn’t know. However, it didn’t take long to find out.  The first few weeks were a bit of a whirlwind for me. I was stressed about school and entering into a new relationship. As I went to people I trusted for advice I kept hearing, seeing and thinking the word: ‘breath.’  I remember tweeting about it, not knowing what it meant and my friend Jordan direct messaged me something I’ll never forget. She said, “So you know when you talk really fast and have to pause for a big breath? I believe god is telling you take a deep breath, stop talking, and just listen for a while. Listen to Him, listen to the people around you, listen to your situation. Breath, listen, and truly digest everything.”  I thought I knew how to hea...

Call me naive, but I am a firm believer that Christmas time really does bring people together. Everyone is extra cheery, everyone is a tad more relaxed, the weather is cozy and hugs are a regular. It’s my favorite. However, there is a group that believes the opposite. The Christmas season adds on a lot of pressure, particularly on parents who have to make sure Christmas is perfect for their kiddos. Or those grandmas that decided to host Christmas dinner for the family. It can be a lot. It is, after all, the season of giving. However, I think we forget it’s also the season of receiving .

All He wanted was for us to say thank you and to receive the gift. He doesn’t expect us to do anything else. He just wants us and He want to make us a better version, for nothing else; relationship and only rela...

If you’re anything like most of the population, you’re probably familar with having bad posture. AND what it’s like constantly being nagged to fix it. I too, am one of those people. I’ve always wanted to have better posture. I know it’s good for my body, and my body is important it’s my only one and I want to take care of it. However, something I was not aware of until recently, is that posture is not only important to take care of physically, but also spiritually. Your mind can have a bad posture. As I’ve grown in my faith I’ve started to learn more about this. And, you guessed it, just like my back everyone was telling me I needed to change the posture of my mind, “fix your minds posture,” they’d say. But, I never knew what it meant. I decided to ignore it, until God forced me to deal with it. He continually allowed Satan to put me into situations where I felt uncomfortable, sad and lonely. He wasn’t doing it to hurt me, but rather, to help me change my posture. I d...
