I once heard that excuses are reasons stuffed with a lie. I had never thought of it that way but it's true. We try to come up with a way to get around something so we use an excuse to try to reason our way around it. Excuses can become a bad habit as well …

Since I began my walk with God I have learned how to love and enjoy everyday of my life no matter what the circumstances may be. Threw my experiences I have learned many lessons that have enabled me to be in a constant state of peace, joy, and contentment and I share those lessons with others in hopes to help them to be able to do the same. I was given a second chance on life and I strive to live it being my best, doing my best, in the truth that I have been taught by God. I lived my life with a inner turmoil that stemmed from my past for almost 30 years and to be free from it is the biggest blessing that I have received from God.

Are you still a baby or growing up?

Your Personal Trainer
Did you know that even though you fail everyday and make a ton of mistakes God thinks you are great? Did you know that even though you may be stubborn and choose to do things your way instead of God's way He does not condemn you. God does not judge you for the weaknesses of …
Hiding behind the beauty
I look at models, actresses, singers, and such people on t.v. and they all appear to be so happy and to have it all. I think it would be safe to say that we all have, at least had the thought, "it must be nice to have it all" cross our mind. And if we …
When life happens
When life throws us a curve ball we have two choices. We can either crumble or we can take on the challenge, trusting that God will pave the way. We can not stop life from happening and we can not let it beat us. As believers in Christ we have the ability to make it …
