​Crucify, Crucify, my flesh is crucified.
I completely surrender my will, fear and doubt
for God to be glorified.

Crucify, Crucify, this body temple that felt great pain.
To lose my life in Jesus Christ, is to receive abundant authentic gain.
​
Crucify, Crucify, I yearn to understand.
I seek the lessons to be learned, I trust the sightless unfolding of God’s plan.

​Prayer is essential in order for God’s people to effectively experience victorious living. To develop confidence in your prayer life, you need to know, believe and speak God’s word over your life and watch Him work the details out on your behalf.  God’s word is rich with promises that can encourage you to stand or hold on when going through challenging life experiences, rich promises that can pump up your praise while you expectantly wait with excitement on what you know and believe to be true. Read, meditate on, and seal the following scriptures in your heart to guide you to and through a confident prayer life filled with peace, joy, love, forgiveness and gratitude.

Testing Times: Hold on through the storms

9/19/2014

Comments

 
Picture
Wilderness experiences and challenging times of testing are a part of every Christian’s life and if it has not shown up in your life yet, just keep living. Storms of testing times are inevitable and for a divine purpose, so I encourage you to hold on.

Tests and trials are necessary for us to mature, grow, and learn how to trust God; they come to test and strengthen our faith.  When we hold on in the storm and persevere through testing times, it produces patience and shows us who God is and what we can do through His strength, grace and mercy.

One Billion Rising: Why I Rose to End Violence Against Women

7/18/2014

Comments

 
Picture
​One Billion Rising is a V-Day worldwide campaign to end violence against women. I rose because I was raped and now had the inner strength, opportunity and collective support to end the silence and share my story. V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls because 1 in every 3 women on the planet will be raped or beaten during their lifetime. I rose because I am 1 of the 3 women to experience this violence. I rose because it helped me and others continue the healing process. I rose with 200 countries signed up to participate along with world leaders, celebrities, organizations and activists ready to Strike, Dance, and Rise because it was time to say, “Enough! The violence must end.”

NOTE: The “V” in V-Day means Victory, Valentine and Vagina.

​I am striving to live a sinless life,
sinning less with each new day.
With an open heart through my tests and trials, 
“Lord, help me learn the lessons quickly,” is what I pray.

During a recurring respiratory illness
that had flared up every few years,
God shed fresh light on some behavioral patterns 
​that was critical for me to perceive and hear.

God’s Protection

5/16/2014

Comments

​Psalm 91 describes the benefits of living in the secret place of God. It is a place of refuge where we can experience unconditional love, supernatural protection, security, deliverance, grace and power.  The following inspirational poem is my creative expression of Psalm 91:

GOD’S PROTECTION 


We, who dwell in the secret place
of El Elyon (the God Most High),
Shall abide in protection and security
beneath the shadow of God Almighty (El Shaddai).
 
The Lord is our refuge and our fortress,
our God in whom we can confidently trust.
He will deliver us from entrapment and disease;
He will shelter us from dangers and things unjust.

Healing Process

3/18/2014

Comments

 
Picture
This healing thing is a process
that takes place over a period of time;
I’ve learned that in order to heal the body 
the journey must first begin in the mind.

I was not usually eager to step
into the path that was necessary.
Before facing my emotional baggage,
I entered my own garden of Gethsemane.
​
Issues stemming from my childhood 
enveloped me in deep-rooted, binding fear.
Due to prior medical traumas experienced, 
​I used to deny illness and run scared.
