Affirmations of Faith

I want to be genuine...to live what i believe Monday through Saturday and not just "talk about it on Sunday"
I desire to live my life in a spirit of prayer...practicing the presence of God each day through His "living word".
I want my heartbeat to be that of the Holy Spirit...challenging my conscience to live my best life. A life "on purpose".
I want to show the world that I am a woman of faith, fortitude, courage and conviction, standing strong for what i believe.
I want to be a leader.
I want to be a role model.
I want to be a woman growing old with grace.
I want to be an awesome mother, grandmother.
I want to leave a legacy of love, forgiveness and memories.
I want to be a servant of Jesus Christ.

Faith and Friendship



Girlfriends...whose faith in you could lift you right up out of yourself...
We all let people into our lives, but you will find that really good girlfriends let you into "your own"!
I've been thinking a lot about friendships lately, and the faith i put into those friends. I'm not quite sure where i would be right now without them...
invisible bonds
enduring ties
mirrors of my soul
My girlfriends are honest, loyal, nonjudgmental, have a sense of humor, smart and function from their hearts...i find that i can breathe more deeply, relax in their presence and find rest in their friendship.
A true gift from God...
This is dedicated to my Exodus Team...
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping to realize the vision God has placed on my heart

more about fear and faith...


"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal"-Hannah More-

Hannah was one lady born ahead of her time...born in 1745, she let little stand in her way; A playwright and philanthropist, she also worked to ban slavery and to raise the literacy of the poor...you go girl!
Courage is the prerequisite for accomplishment; few outstanding achievements are the by-product of fear!
My prayer for you...Dear Lord, please help me to face my fears with the courage that comes from you alone! in Jesus' name, amen

Where Faith and Fear collide!


Faith is not the absence of fear...it is action in spite of fear
Faith is not the absence of questions...it is belief in the presence of questions
Faith is not the absence of actions...it is the ability to allow
fear and questions to fuel your faith
