Jesus Christ, the Hope of Glory!


He has kept this secret for centuries and generations past, but now at last it has pleased him to tell it to those who love him and live for him, and the riches and glory of his plan are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ in your hearts is your only hope of glory. 1 Colossians: 26-27 TLB

 Jesus, the hope of glory, these words came flooding in my spirit in the wee hours of the morning as I turned over from sleep. I awoke and started to search the scriptures. What do those words mean to me? Considering, we are in the festive holiday spirit but more importantly the Christmas season, I began to think back to the Garden of Eden, when mankind fell out of communion and fellowship with God because of sin. Adam and Eve was dismissed out of the Garden because of their sin but God always had a plan for redemption and restoration for them. Moreover, how much more did he considered those who were not directly related to His chosen race of people. He had a plan to see that we, who would be regarded as Gentiles, would come to the saving grace and knowledge of Christ. His plan transcended not only Jews, but Gentiles alike through His only son Jesus, our hope of glory.
Jesus, God's Plan of Redemption


 He had a plan for me that I would be adopted as rightful heir and be a recipient of his heritage, with all rights and privileges extended to me because of my acceptance of His only begotten son...Jesus!

 For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth on him, shall not perish but have everlasting life...-John 3:16

 What a hope to,know that the coming of Christ to the earth was part of a major redemptive work that no Jew, nor Greek or a Gentile would be lost in sin but that we can have everlasting life and are all included as sons and daughters of God.

I hear people talk during the holidays about specific gifts that are meaningful and worthy and they may make a statement that the particular gift keeps on giving. However, Gods gift to the world has trumped them all, he gave his all, the greatest gift possible, His Son Jesus, the hope of glory!

So, dear friends, while we are out breathing in all of the commercialism this festive season has to offer, pause but for a moment and think about how much it cost God to give his gift to the world and consider the fact that he included you and. I as a part of His redemptive plan.  He did not had to do it but thank God, He did!

Mean It!

  Hello, is this thing on?🎤 Well, it has been a while since I have released a blog post. The reason is that I have not been inspired to write much of anything lately. When I tell you the season I was in, from a personal perspective was a dry season. it was a period of being off the grid and staying in the shadows. It was the season of my detox. It required me to be poured into rather than pouring out myself.  Lately, I found myself searching and in desperate need of something different. I needed more!   Now, I want to qualify my statement, by simply stating that I needed more than the norm. More for my life! My professional life, my spiritual life, and my personal life required me to seek beyond my normal. I was... no I am intentional about my next season being way different than before. I cannot get away with a mediocre outlook on life because I want more of what life has to offer.  I want to be more. I want to experience more. I am not speaking from the mater...

Unspoken Words...I Broke Down Today!!!

So how's this for a reel...real talk, real truth and real emotions... I Broke Down Today!!! Some would say, I had a meltdown while others would say I lost total control of my emotions. I would have been deemed emotional and yet I was unashamed... I baled, I balled, I cried out in desperation because of hurt, pain, mishandling and misinformation. You see days before I was walking tall, proud that I was keeping it all together. For what though, for a world that is growing colder and callous every day. Now has me wondering, do people truly care about people. The world today is not the world that I dreamt about...a world of peace, love, unity, equality, equity and family togetherness...just the sound of it seems farfetched now. But yet I still have a dream... that one day tings gonna get better...like the good Bishop says. I broke down today because family is not the same anymore, so much  division, so much strife, no unity and I am asking where is the love that once was had. I broke d...

Taking Flight

Latest Release Broken Wings: From Hurt to Hope It' s already December 2016 and I made it to the last month of the year and it feels darn good!  Upon being grateful that I made it to this point in the year, I also have some wonderful news to share with you. I recently published my first book which so happens to be connected to my blog. You see, I started writing during a period of my life, where I was overcome with darkness, as I was going through a period of heartbreak and depression. This blog was therapeutic for me, it helped me write through my pain and thus one day, I sat still long enough to pen words that eventually became my first book, "Broken Wings: From Hurt to Hope.  My book chronicles my experience where I battled depression and tells my very own personal story of how I navigated through one of the most painful times in my life. It is as about as real as you can get. I hope that my book, just as I hope my blog is an encouragement to someone that needs to ...
