At that time, the primary reason I wanted to be a Christian was because I did not want to go to hell, and I wanted something to make me feel better. The Bible says that we must repent in order to believe the gospel (Mark 1:15 NKJV) and that there is evidence of true repentance (Matthew 3:8 NKJV). True repentance brings about a born again experience where a new life is birthed in you by the Spirit of God (John 3:1-21 NKJV). As that new life is conceived, it comes forth like a

Yes, serving and putting boots on the ground takes energy, but the Lord is calling us to remain before Him—to consistently wait on Him—so that we are renewed and do not grow weary.

We are in a time of great uncertainty. The government has undergone the longest shut down in history. The job market is full of confusion as thousands are furloughed and being let go. Prices for necessities like food are on the rise. And as a college student, I know this can feel daunting to know that you will soon graduate and be forced into this matrix of life. But I am here to tell you, there is only ONE way to have peace in this storm and that is through Jesus Christ. The

Psalm 139:16 You saw me before I was born.     Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out     before a single day had passed. This month, let’s continue to talk about identity.  Identity is the foundation to destiny.  How we see ourselves will ultimately dictate our thoughts, beliefs, actions, and decisions.  Knowing our identity in Christ is the foundation to achieving our God-given destiny.  The enemy wants to skew our identity so he can misdi

If you’re a young woman stepping into a new college semester, you’ve probably seen Jeremiah 29:11 printed on journals, wall art, mugs—even your Instagram feed. It’s the go-to verse for encouragement, especially in seasons of change. But behind the comforting words lies a context that’s deeper and more powerful than many realize.

As a sinner in the world, the devil can only give the opposite of God's attributes, so in looking for love, I got hate. In place of appreciation, I got depreciated.

The Lord encourages us to be still in His presence, not to do nothing.  When we get before the Lord and allow Him to order our day, we achieve flow.

As you shift gears into a summer internship, job, or volunteer program, it’s tempting to just exhale and coast. But what if this break is actually an invitation? Not just to rest—but to reset.

YAY! The semester is almost over, and we can finally see the light at what seemed to be a never-ending tunnel.  So now that the summer break is almost here, my question for you is, “ What are your plans for the break ?”.  You may be taking summer classes or starting a new and exciting internship. Or maybe you are just planning to take it easy and rest after a stressful school year. Whatsoever your plans may or may not be, I highly suggest having a good one.   Why you ask?  We

There are many misconceptions on what people believe it means to be a Christian. Some have proposed that it is a way to live a good life.

The foundation in our lives shapes our identity, and it determines how we build our lives and the decisions we make.

What are the things on your heart that God has desired for you to accomplish? What have you delayed in achieving? It's time to execute.

As you begin to reflect on this passing year and the close of the semester, I want you to be encouraged.

Make the most of every moment, knowing that you are investing in your future and glorifying God with each step you take.

Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish. Proverbs 18:13  Intelligent people are always ready to learn. Their ears are open for knowledge. Proverbs 18:15 One of the most desirable traits we can have as Industrious Women is the ability to listen.  Listening is a skill that many people take for granted.  The Word of God gives us many pearls of wisdom in the book of Proverbs.  In fact, there are 31 chapters in Proverbs, one to read for each day of

In my previous blog, we talked about words and how they shape our outlook on life and impact how we perceive ourselves. Now I want to talk about the voices behind those words and have you examine whose voice you are paying attention to.  We know that words from people can be inspired by God, and ultimately, it is the voice of God speaking to you through people that He has sent.  These words can come from your friends, parents, and those that you look to for advice.  The Bible

As we journey through life, we often find ourselves in different seasons, each with its own challenges and opportunities. Ecclesiastes 3:1-3 beautifully reminds us that "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build." This passage invites us to reflect on the season of life we are in and to e

Life has many hills and valleys, but who can help us be victorious in them all? God, the Father through Jesus Christ! 

Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise! Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. Proverbs 6: 6-8 - NLT   As we get into the summer months, this is a good time to take a lesson from the ants.  The ants do not take vacations in summer or use the summer as “downtime.”  Rather, they use the summer season to prepare for winter.  Of course, there is nothin

By embracing the power of forgiveness, you can navigate the challenges of college life with grace and compassion.
