When God Shows You What's Coming

Scripture: Habakkuk 2:2–3 (NIV) "Then the Lord replied: 'Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.'" Supporting Scripture: Joel 2:28 "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions." Have you ever experienced a moment where you felt God revealing something about your future? Perhaps it was through a dream, a prophetic word, or a deep impression in your spirit. These moments are not mere coincidences; they are divine invitations to prepare for what lies ahead. In Habakkuk 2:2–3, God instructs the prophet to write down the vision and make it plain. This act of recording the revelation serves as a tangible reminder of God's promises, espe...

So Amazing to Be Loved — Nothing Can Separate You from God's Love

From the moment we take our first breath, we begin searching for love. A newborn cries for a parent's touch. A child beams at praise. Teenagers reinvent themselves for acceptance. Adults chase love through relationships, careers, and achievements. This longing is universal—woven into our very humanity. But human love often disappoints. It comes with conditions. It wounds. It abandons. And when it does, it leaves scars that run deep. That's what makes God's love so revolutionary. In Romans 8:38–39 (NIV), Paul writes with conviction: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers... will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Let that sink in. Nothing—not your past, your failures, your doubts, your pain, or even death itself—can separate you from God's perfect love. This isn't love that retreats when you stumble. It doesn't diminish whe...

The Courage to Begin Again: Embracing New Chapters at Any Age

There's something about milestone birthdays that causes us to pause and take inventory. As I recently crossed the threshold of a significant age—one of those big, round numbers that society tends to mark with both celebration and quiet contemplation—I found myself making a decision that surprised even me: I chose to begin again. When Certainty Makes Way for Possibility Beginning again isn't always planned. Sometimes it arrives after loss or disappointment. Other times, it emerges from a growing realization that the life you've built, while perhaps comfortable or expected, isn't the one your soul longs for. For me, it was the latter. Despite achievements and stability in certain areas, I recognized a quiet but persistent voice within me saying, "There's more. This isn't all." Not more stuff, not more accolades—but more alignment with who I truly am and what brings me genuine peace. So I made the decision to start clean in multiple areas of my life. New ...

Sacred Spaces: How Setting Boundaries Opens Doors to God’s Best

Setting Boundaries for Healing and Growth In a world that constantly demands our attention, energy, and presence, setting boundaries isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. Recently, I made a decision that some might find difficult to understand: I chose to take a break from dating. Not because relationships are inherently problematic, but because I recognized that, in this season of my life, they were becoming a distraction from what God is calling me to focus on: healing, purpose, and personal growth. The Wisdom of Seasons Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us: “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” Too often, we rush through life’s seasons, eager to experience everything at once. Yet there is profound wisdom in recognizing where you are and honoring the season God has placed you in. For me, this is a season of rebuilding and restoration—and I’m learning that setting boundaries around that intention isn’t weakness; it’s wisdom. The Busyness Trap I’ve no...

Love Beyond the Promise

  By Chauntelle A There are moments when the desire for romantic love rises up unexpectedly—perhaps after decades of embracing singleness, content and at peace. And yet, in the quiet scroll through social media or the stillness of an evening alone, something stirs. A longing. A question. Recently, I came across a post that read, “Marriage is not the promised land.” It stopped me in my tracks. In our culture, we often elevate romantic relationships as the ultimate fulfillment—what we’re supposed to strive for, the sign that we’ve "made it." But I’m reminded that the deepest, most lasting love we can experience doesn't come from a partner, but from our Heavenly Father. Marriage is a beautiful gift, yes. Companionship is a blessing. But neither was designed to replace the role of God’s love in our lives. Human love is powerful but limited. God’s love is infinite. While human love may ebb and flow, God's love remains constant—steadfast, unshakable, and unconditional. Scri...

Day 3

 I got up today and did mini work out had an epic fail of a green smoothie. And had a moment of reflection the smoothie had mangos 🥭, kale, celery sticks, apple juice 🧃 Mandarin Oranges, Arugula and Spinach. It tasted like shredded wet grass.  I mistakenly / on purpose lost that cup. But not all attempts will be great but after drinking that I text my son about reconsidering life choices. Lol I know I'm so dramatic but that's my nature stay blessed.

The Blessing of a Soft Life

The Blessing of a Soft Life Faith reveals itself most profoundly in moments of clarity, when divine perspective illuminates the path we've walked. This is one such moment. Recently, I fell into the habit of listening to Reddit posts on YouTube. What began as simple entertainment transformed into revelation as story after story of struggle washed over me. The truth struck like lightning: I've lived what many would call a soft life. For those unfamiliar, a soft life isn't about wealth—it's about a foundation of stability, comfort, and safety that many never experience. It's the privilege of facing life's challenges with resources rather than empty hands. I am not wealthy by traditional standards, but my journey has been cushioned in ways I failed to recognize. As a tour guide, security guide, and airline gate agent, my work provided not just income, but dignity and structure without crushing pressure. While others clock endless hours in punishing conditions, I...
