🚨 Replacement Theology Is a Lie — And It’s Time to Wake Up! 🚨
Lately, my heart has been grieved and my spirit stirred to the point of righteous anger. I recently messaged my own family—some of whom I suspect are unknowingly being swept up in a wave of false doctrine—because the time for silence is long gone. Let me be clear: any doctrine or pastor who preaches that…

The Power of Choices: Part Three
“I Forgive You.” Three simple words. Yet when spoken from the heart, they carry a divine weight far heavier than the stones others are eager to cast. Recently, I found myself in a deeply unsettling storm within the Christian Contemporary Music world. A well-known artist—whose name I will not mention out of respect for all…

The Power of Choices – Part Two: Obedience and Outcomes
Life doesn’t just happen to us—we shape it daily through the choices we make. Some choices feel small and insignificant, others monumental, but all of them ripple through time and consequence. God, in His mercy, has never hidden the stakes. In Deuteronomy 28, He clearly outlines a covenant with His people: a covenant built on…

The Power of Choice: You Always Have One
People often say things like, “Well, I had no choice,” or “I was born this way.” But let’s set the record straight—that is a cultural mindset, not a universal truth.

Deciphering The Truth in the Midst of Distractions
In today’s world, it seems the very concept of truth has become a moving target—subjective, fluid, and often distorted beyond recognition.

But the result of this mindset…

When Doctors Give Up — The Alarming State of Healthcare in the Southern U.S.
This morning I woke up with a heavy heart. My husband and I got ready, not for work or a pleasant outing, but to go and pray with a dear friend in the hospital. He’s been battling stage 4 liver and esophageal cancer since last year. Now, his doctors in Georgia have given up hope,…

Caregiver Life 101
“Take care of yourself.” It’s the first thing people say when they find out you’re a caregiver—and quite honestly, it’s the last thing they help you understand. When my husband Dexter was diagnosed in 2019 with Fanconi Anemia, a rare and complicated genetic disorder that predisposes individuals to multiple types of cancer, I was thrown…

Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: Aging, Understanding, and Hope
When you live with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), every day can feel like a puzzle you weren’t given all the pieces to—especially when you’ve lived most of your life not knowing you even had it. For me, EDS isn’t just a diagnosis; it’s a life journey that has spanned four decades of unanswered questions, unexplained pain,…

Don’t Trust Every Feeling — Learn to See Beyond
Our emotions can be powerful indicators, but they can also be deceptive. How many times have we “felt” like something was wrong, only to discover that our instincts were off? Or “felt” afraid of something that turned out to be harmless? Emotions are real, yes—but they don’t always speak truth. They are often rooted in…
