It is unbelievable to me, but I will celebrate my second anniversary of blogging in three days! On April 30, 2019, I released my first post on this website after many procrastination years. God continues to press on my heart the need to address heart issues that women experience. As I always say, I don’t know how long I will be posting, but I will continue as long as God gives me the words to say. Along the way, some days, I say to God I have nothing more to express, and unless He gives me the message, I will discontinue writing. In all honesty, I did not see myself posting for this long time. But, “It’s in my heart!”
Most importantly, I love sharing what God has given me, and I learn so much as I try to help others. The message is always for the messenger first, and then it goes abroad. I appreciate so much the insightful comments from you, the readers. Some of you never post a comment on the blog, but you text or email me, or call me or post comments in other media, and I am so grateful. I appreciate every reader who takes the time to read my post weekly. Even in this pandemic season, I understand the value of your time, and I don’t take it lightly. I do what I do because “It’s in my heart!”
Additionally, during this season, I know that heartache and feelings of loneliness can intensify with the lack of everyday personal interactions with others. Feelings of not being loved or cared for can quickly arise when a person is alone and lack social interactions. Change is coming hopefully with the Covid vaccine, but maybe not quick enough to dispel some of the heart issues individuals may face. I pray your emotional being is healthy and joyful, or at least on the pathway to wholeness. Nothing lasts forever, unfortunately, not even joy. Cycles occur and repeat; however, I hope this is your cycle of gladness. It’s in my heart!
Lastly, if you have the time, I would love for you to share with me what is your favorite post. I can tell you my favorite one is “Let Patience be your Weapon!” September 10, 2019. Patience can save us a lot of heartaches. I think this must be a favorite of others also because it gets weekly views. So, I look forward to hearing which post is a blessing to you. I have readers across the world in other countries. I would love to hear from you also.
God bless you all, and I appreciate you for taking this journey with me. I will continue to post until God says my task is complete. Thank God for you, and I pray for your covering, healing, sustaining, and keeping in such a time as we live. Love and blessings! Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22. I’ll be back next week with a new post, “How Far Will You Go?”
Be encouraged, and God bless!

God Bless you Sis for your faithfulness in this Blog.
I too have learned that if you don’t share what “God” puts on “your” heart to share with others, that you could end up with spiritual heartburn or even worse, spiritual heart trouble.
My favorite blog post, is July 16, 2019, “Stop Living a Second-Hand Life”. Truly those living a “second-hand life” need healing from broken pieces. And those that have never lived a second-hand life, nor understand how it happens to others, can have a better understanding of how it happens to others and without de-grading them, learn how to help encourage these to come up to the abundant life that Christ has for us “ALL” that live for him, that he may live abundantly through us.
Personally one of the biggest eye-openers in my life was learning that some people unknowingly live with a poverty-mindset, simply because they don’t understand that it exists, to even recognize it, and, they are living a second-hand life both spiritually and naturally, and yet think to do more for others, both spiritually and naturally, than for themselves, thinking that is a “good” thing, not realizing that this doing is mostly because of low-self-esteem, and are efforts to be loved, accepted and appreciated. But for me, learning to give my “ALL” to God, and to let The Holy Spirit guide me in my giving to others, freed me from a poverty-mindset, for I learned that God also puts “giving” in our hearts, and the Holy Spirit teaches us how, what, and when to give!
So that is why “Stop Living a Second-Hand Life” remains to resonate with me. And I truly believe that when you posted this July 16, 2019, that it resonated with other of your readers also.
LOL, As you know I could say / write more, but I’ll stop there, LOL!!!
Love You MUCH Sis, and keep up the fruitful work. Stay encouraged and we Thank God for you too!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing those comments about your favorite post. That is one of my favorites too, and I quote it to myself when I treat “me” well. I am a natural giver and love to give to others, but I have also learned that I deserve to have the best. Thank you for your encouragement for the last two years. You have shared so many encouraging, thoughtful words of wisdom that have tremendously blessed the readers and me. Your support is unfailing, and I appreciate it so very much. Thank you, my sister, and may the grace of God bless you over and over again. Love and appreciation to you.
Love all of them. If i had to pick it would be Write The Vision. May GOD continue to Bless you
