A new beginning offers us a new opportunity. Being open to what’s next may help us overcome an obstacle we’re looking at right now. Hence, it’s hard not to fall for January’s default theme of the “new year, new you” phenomenon. It’s no surprise that ad campaigns bombard us with...

All Things New,  Live Your Joy Story
Listening to music as I cook or as I drive makes a task feel less like a task. The lyrics or the rhythm create a vibe to enhance the experience. Sometimes, I crank up the volume. But as we walk by faith, the things we want the most becomes the...

When I shop, boho jewelry and anything denim have When I shop, boho jewelry and anything denim have a magnetic pull on my purse strings. But about a year ago, something different drew me in. A mug with its soft edges and soft ecru color featured 3 words. Pray. Wait. Trust.

As it pulled on my heart strings, the magnet worked. I quickly placed the mug in my cart and made my way to the cashier. I looked forward to drinking from the cup and considering each word — one sip at a time. But a closer look took me beyond my cup. These 3 words made me reflect on the life of Christ.

Reflections of His life and how it impacts ours is often the focus during this Lenten season. But we can reap the benefits of reflecting on Jesus any day of the year. 

Join me on the blog this week and discover what can happen: "Growing Our Faith One Sip at a Time" (an invitation from me and my mug). 💕

When we lean into God's calling, we still have to When we lean into God's calling, we still have to learn His way to live in the privilege of what He calls us to do. 

It's great when we connect with people who seek to do the same. It happened at the "God's Call, God's Way Prayer Breakfast" yesterday!

I'm grateful for an awesome time of prayer, fellowship, and reflection. We were tremendously blessed by  praise and worship led by @deborahmooremusic.

Thanks so much to those who attended and for those who prayed for our gathering!🙏🏽💕 #joytothesoul #liveyourjoystory
