When we think of strength, we often picture those CrossFit mamas with a six-pack and biceps that rival Michelle Obama’s. Yet the kind of strength that packs the most punch in God’s economy is internal; it’s a quiet strength born from a deep trust in God and forged through a continued relationship with Jesus. We find an example of this inner strength in the book of Ruth. You’re probably familiar with her story: a Moabite widow who gave up her country, people, and gods to follow her mother-in-law Naomi back to Israel, eventually marrying a wealthy landowner named Boaz. It’s a beautiful picture of a woman with inner strength, integrity, and loyalty in need of protection and redemption, but who is unable to rescue herself. The Bible tells us that…

If I were to tell you that your loss is a power that unleashes your great purpose, would you believe me? I have experienced a few losses over the course of my life. Some are greater than others, and some have plunged me into great pain, but if it wasn’t for the losses, the great woman you see today and still are becoming would not have been revealed. in every experience of loss, I didn't initially realize I had the strength to overcome. However, when I shifted my mindset to view loss as an opportunity for growth, everything changed. Consider it from the perspective of Jesus dying on the cross. If He hadn't sacrificed His life, we wouldn't have a savior to turn to for forgiveness of our sins. His…

My brother had said he would take them to the arcade so they were excited. That evening I went home, ready to begin my two days off after a long week at work. I saw that I had a message in my voicemail. I began to check it and an unfamiliar voice said, “There had been an accident and my child was being transported to the hospital. Then a short time after that I received a call from the medics saying that everyone in the car would be transported to one of the major hospitals in town. Something inside of me sank because I knew it was more serious that I first thought. I began to pray in my spirit. I had always been taught prayer was powerful. I had…

Dreaming beyond my norm proved to be a struggle, as my community’s culture dictated otherwise. Education wasn't emphasized, and it wasn't customary to think beyond the basics or outside the box. The prevailing belief was that passing eighth grade without getting pregnant or successfully graduating high school with subjects was impossible. But purpose stepped in and proclaimed differently: "With people, this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible." - Matthew 19:26 How did I rewrite the script of a traditionally curated storyline? It all began with a single 'dream' to defy the odds, challenge the norm, and become a trailblazer. I dreamt that one day I would sit among the noble, converse with dignitaries, and share my story with people from all walks of life. After writing my…

Somewhere deep within, a desire was implanted to be filled only by the touch of a man. A longing for heated, passionate intimacy, social security, financial stability and shared responsibility. A place where no woman can travel solo and find satisfaction unless led by someone of the masculine gender. As a result because of this programming, many women have become desperate to be made “whole” through forming a union with almost anyone who expresses a romantic interest or manage to adequately communicate what her ears are already itching to hear, “I love you.” Whether coming from a sincere place or not is usually not a consideration especially when the flames of romance are being fanned by those in the stands who are of the opinion that she has, “waited long…

May I confess that I was one of those persons? I was of the impression that once God places a dream in your heart that, automatically it is granted and it’s smooth sailing from there on. I was in for a rude awakening. As a little girl one of my greatest desires was to study to become a Counseling Psychologist. I was very passionate about helping people with their pain. Being the eldest of 5 children, and having experienced my mother suffering from a nervous breakdown after she was abandoned by our three fathers, the desire to be “more” and to escape the constant sadness and depression that surrounded me, became my passion. Unfortunately though, based on the limited resources available, school was never our top priority, and many times…

Now, I know what you're thinking! We both may have had different reasons for watching, but hey, the women were beautiful, whether it was for the dresses they wore or the modeling they did on stage. As beautiful as they were on the outside, I was always captivated by their amazing talents in music and public speaking. I would watch and listen intently as they performed and spoke. My dad and I would sit on the couch as if we were the judges in the audience. Of course, when I read about Esther in scripture, I often think about what she went through as she navigated the entire beauty pageant process in her time. One thing we can be sure of is that she must have felt nervous, excited, and…
