“I’m a fairly new resident to Atlanta. I first visited the city a few years ago, in November of 2015, in the season of my life where I decided to turn my back on God.”
Choosing A King
This week, Americans will have to accept the results of the election, whatever we have collectively chosen. Some will celebrate and some will mourn the man who is selected to represent and influence the nation’s direction for the next four years.
Anna 2020 (from Luke 2)
I remember having my daughter and taking her to church service for the first time. The congregation "oooh-ed and awww-ed" over her plump cheeks and her rose petal lips that pursed together to make the most perfect pucker. We were in love with this little person and we were happy to parade her around for everyone to see.
The Art of Clinging
We are living in a time where there is a rapid spread and unraveling of a lot of things. At the start of our day, we may feel like we’re looking up towards a snow capped mountain watching a powerful unruly avalanche of sickness, racial injustice, despair, financial distress and relational division rushing straight towards us at an alarming speed.

I have a chronic hormonal imbalance that requires me to be extremely diligent about my eating habits. However, I had not been diligent

To My Sister Considering Divorce
If the word “Divorce” has been mulling around in your mind, you may be wondering what gives me the right to share my thoughts on your marriage. The answer is nothing. I am not an expert on the subject. No degrees on the topic either.
God’s Vision for 2020
Have you ever wondered what God really wants from you? I've thought that if I can just get the right person to pray for me then things would be different.
