What does it mean to be discouraged: to deprive of courage, hope, or confidence; dishearten; dispirit.

There will come a time when we will experience discouragement in one form or another and there are times when it will come from those that are closest to us. What we cannot allow is the jaws of discouragement to clamp down on us. When we allow it to rest on or in us it causes us to walk out of character. At times it will cause us to want to go back to what we use to do because of the…

If you had a voice, what would you say. Would you tell tall tales, would you say what is fact, and what is true.

If you had a voice, then why don't you speak. Stop allowing everyone to speak for you. Because they are really speaking for themselves.

If you had a voice, why do you keep silent. There are so many tragedies that we see but we do not say…

When you here the word beauty, what comes to your mind. Is it the way you look or the way a person is shaped. Is it the texture of a persons skin or the length of there hair.





I do not have these things, so I do not see the beauty in me. I can see beauty in everyone else but I can't see this beauty within myself. Did you see that smile that came across her face. Oh how I wish I can put one on my face.





I have forgotten how to smile, I have closed my eyes to all that is… Continue

This is a message to my Father, whom I love with all my heart.

Father I was just sitting here thinking about you, so I decided to write you a letter. I wanted to let you know how much I love you and how much I appreciate you. A lot of times people want to receive the blessings but not the one who is doing the blessing. There have been no one in my life who loved me enough to give his life for me. You looked upon me and saw…

Be encourage, no matter what's going on. He'll make it all right but you have to stay strong.

Do you realize how precious you are in the sight of the Lord. You may have come down a rough road, you may have been picked on, you may have even been overlooked according to man.

The heart of a man is delicate. Most men will not allow you to know what's in their heart. The heart of a man is where he keeps his most precious thoughts. He keeps them there so that no one will ever know what they are. It is very hard for someone to even begin to know what's in the heart. The only way to know is that you must obtain the key that will unlock that door that has been locked for so long. When you can unlock that door to the heart that you so desire, you have something more… Continue

When I looked at myself what did I see; I saw all that was told to me but I didn't see me. We look to other's to find the beauty within ourselves; for this reason we do not know how to love ourselves. You see we look for love but instead you find lust. Why is that! because of the reflection that you see looking back at us. If all you see is the opposite of you, then you are seeing all that they saw and you're still not seeing who you are. We play these games and say to ourselves that it does… Continue
