Reasons Why You Shouldn't Jump into Another Relationship Right Now! relationships

I was the queen of dating! Let me tell you... every other week I had another boyfriend. What I thought was "cool" at that moment and the very thing that I thought validated me, is the one thing that reminds me of how broken I really was.

Because the more and more I created idols out of my boyfriends, the more and more I lost touch...

My Personal Style Evolution beauty fashion

Before I got saved, my greatest aspiration was to be a fashion model. I spent countless hours watching the show, "America's Next Top Model," attending casting calls and even convinced my mom to spend money on modeling school. While other kids were out at the movies, I would be having mini photo shoot sessions at home and spend hours editing the photos after. I actually enjoyed this. Then, when I got saved, that part of me died. My heart was exposed and I realized just how vain,...

Overcome Spiritual Comparison and Jealousy faith

It's so easy for us to judge someone from the outside. It's so easy to say, "she's so holy" or "he's so this" and "he's so that." It's so easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing and fail to take time to step back and work on building our own walk with God.

Some of us spend so much time judging one another and looking at what everyone else is doing instead of keeping our eyes on Christ and on the work that He's trying to do within us.

Maybe you feel like you don't measure up...

True Worship & Getting Closer to God faith

True worship is a lifestyle, not a one-time experience. When we often think of "worship," we imagine the right songs and atmosphere. The thing is, worship is more than that.

The Bible says that we must worship God "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). I asked God what does this mean and wondered how could I worship Him in spirit and in truth...

Then, He led me to Deuteronomy 6:5 which says,

 "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength."...

When you first began hearing God speak, you were so excited. You couldn't get enough of hearing His voice and would not hesitate to share with the world saying, "God told me...

Soul Ties are Real faith relationships

Soul ties are REAL. I recall having a soul-tie once. That means, my soul was spiritually intertwined with someone. I had a very close relationship with that person for about 5 years and we went through the phases: "friends," "best friends," "dating," and even "engagement." I did not have to have sex to form my soul tie but it came from my overly close and co-dependent relationship with this person.

I idolized that relationship and put it above my relationship with God. My soul tie and my...

9 Tips For Preparing to Visit Disney World With Kids travel

We took the kids to Disney world for the first time and we had a BLAST!

1. BRING A STROLLER - Our double stroller was a LIFESAVER! The Magic Kingdom alone is about 107 acres. That's a lot of walking!
