Walking with God

No matter where you are, shine bright.  That is why I am suffering here in prison. But I am not ashamed of it, for I know The One in whom I trust, and I am sure that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until the day of His return. 2 Timothy 1:12 Y’all,...

If you have been with me these past eleven years on Soaking up The Son…WHAT?! 11 YEARS! To God be all the glory!!...then you know that prayer is a massive part of my life. It’s like breathing for me. There are days when I feel that each step I take is like a word that...

Recently, I had the honor of speaking at a ladies’ brunch at Spring Branch Baptist Church in Baxley, GA. These ladies were precious! The church reminded me of the church I grew in, Welcome Baptist in Lithia.  The gathering of women of all ages reminded me of the...
