Love Yourself

Love yourself even when you feel as though no one else will. Don't mistreat yourself because people mistreat you. You owe it to yourself to be your biggest fan. And when you feel alone, remember to enjoy your time with YOU. Remember that God love you and that's enough to keep you encouraged and feeling special.

Honesty

There has been times in my life when I should have just shut up. But there's freedom in speaking out about something that tugs on you heart. When you keep secrets hinder inside of you, it eats away at your conscious. Satan loves to keep you held hostage to your secrets. But be bold enough to share what's in your heart. Honestly is better than judgment. Who the on sets FREE is free indeed. John 8

National Sibling Day!

Just realized that today is Sibling Day????? um ok...lol Well It's my birthday and it brought me great joy to think my brother Westley on today. Westley use to call me names, say that I was ugly, send me to my room, yell at me, fight with ... me, play pranks on me, and made me cry countless times.....I later learned that brothers show their love in that way...lol and to my brother David Portis, I love you and hope to see you again someday.

Today

Today as I read some of my book reviews, I was wrapped in God's presence as He reminded me why I was CHOSEN to write....Praise God! I am only a servant.?...What has God asked of you?

They've changed my life

Being a mom is one thing that most little girls desire to be. When I was a child I never thought about how many children I wanted, but I was certain that I wanted to be a mom. I'm now four days shy of being 31 years old and I'm a proud mother of six. I never realized how much confidence it took to have such a big family, but found out quickly. Wherever we go, we definitely turn heads and put stare wondering to themselves how we do it. If people knew my story, they'd understand the value that I have for family. Most of the people in my nuclear family have died, leaving me as my mother's only child. It was hard growing up with siblings my whole life and by the age of 19....well, it was only me and my mother. Today I'm grateful for my children and to have a wonderful husband who's a great father. He met me when I was a widow with three kids and stuck by me as I healed. Today we have become a strong family and laugh at those ignorant people who pass judgement

May I Have Your Undivided Attention, Please?

http://hopeforwomenmag.com/relationships/may-i-have-your-undivided-attention-please Eye contact and body language are critical when communicating with your spouse. There are so many distractions due to modern-day technology, and it is making communication skills become less personable. Lack of communication within a marriage can make you or your spouse feel neglected. It is extremely frustrating talking to an individual when you feel their mind is somewhere else. Active listening is a crucial part of communication. Have you ever heard your spouse say something and interpreted what they were saying in an entirely different way? It is essential that you reiterate what you heard to make sure that you heard them correctly. When you fail to give your spouse undivided attention during a conversation, it is more likely to be misinterpreted. Look your spouse straight in the eyes and don’t focus on anything else. Giving your spouse undivided attention on a conversation is also a sign of sh

Struggles

Don't trust your feelings.

Stop allowing your feelings to tell you how to feel. They will deceive you and make you view things irrationally. I stead guide your mind and your heart. "The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?" (Jeremiah 17:9 NLT. We have all heard the saying, " Follow your heart" well some of us have learned that the Bible was indeed right, we need to lead our hearts. The world will tell you to do things backwards and in doing so, you'll always be mislead. Get out of your feelings and into the Word of God. Just think how any affairs occurs simply because people were fellowing their hearts instead of leading it. Marita Kinney

Sunday Service

When I was being brought up in church, I was used to being there ALL day. It's not the amount of time you sent there, It's what you walk with that matters. Quality vs quantity has always been a debate amongst most people. However, it's true, people want to feel informed, inspired, and encouraged. Today I was late to church ...again, lol. Of course getting 6 kids ready for church is no excuse, but hey such is life. By the way, thank you Demoine for always cooking us breakfast and making everything a team effort. Well back to my point. We were only in church for 30 minutes and was full from "The Word." There was no shouting for an hour etc. Don't get me wrong, I love praise and worship. Besides, I bring my praise with me. I'm just being honest in the fact that church can be a source of entertainment to some Christians. But it's good to know that I have grown spiritually, can digest the Word of God, and really get spiritually fed without being in ch

My "Wow" Moment

It's amazing because I'm learning how to become an author after I've written my first book....lol. I went to college and majored in Business, I was not an English major. I had no idea that I'd become a writer. I feel like God has given me the shoes to grow into, although I'm aware that there still too big. Sometimes God will show men things in metaphors. He showed me that I also do the same thing for my children. I don't wait until they out grow their clothes, I notice what size their " about to need." I was really discouraged why I read some of my reviews for my latest book. Then. Was reminded of my purpose. If my book reached one person and encouraged them, then I knew that it was not written in vein. To God be the glory......my work was done. I'm humbled to be able to minister in this way. I read an article to help improve my writing and was encouraged by this one statement, "To become a great writer, you must have the courage to ma
