15th Wedding Anniversary
As we traveled back home, I couldn’t help but be grateful. A few years back, I wouldn’t have imagined that we would have made it to see our 15th anniversary. We both were broken, hurting, discouraged, and drifting apart. Nevertheless, Jesus had other plans for us.
A peek into my world
I haven’t done one of these in a while, so I thought it be good to let you all know a little bit more about me. If you got a minute, let us know who you are too (and leave a link to your blog in the comments).
Happiness Hack
Words Kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit – you choose.
Proverbs 18:21 (MSG)
The day I decided to break free from the curse of poverty

4 things I learned from my Facebook purge
I must shamelessly tell you that I am a social media junkie. I regularly lose track of time while scrolling down my FB newsfeed and have been called a “social-media-addict” by many. Nevertheless, I have found social media to be a creative outlet where I can express myself freely. I use it as a platform to inspire others, bring encouragement, spread laughter, and give hope to the hurting.

The proposition was a simple one. The church needed both a janitor and an associate pastor. Unfortunately, they could only afford to hire one. I could tell that the pastor was trying to sell me on the arrangement, but his efforts were pointless. I had my mind made up before any attempt to convince me was made.
