For those who are following -- it has been 6 months now since I began locing my hair. It has been quite a journey inwardly and outwardly. I say that because somehow my hair has always reflected outwardly what God is doing in my life inwardly. I am going through a transformation just like a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly and this is only the beginning. This collage is compiled with pictures from months 3 through 6. Let me know what you think! I am loving it!

Here is an interesting post I saw on a sister site and I thought that it was pretty good and accurate: So many today have been successful at raising brats. Here's some of the finest advice you'll ever receive on how to raise a brat: 1. WHEN A BABY, DON'T LET HIM CRY IN BED Do not allow YOUR baby to suffer any hardships, especially in infancy. Run to his aid as soon as he cries. He'll soon know how to control you, rather than you controlling him. This way, they'll expect to be pampered all of their lives. 2. LET HIM SAY "NO" It's so cute. Let that be his favorite word. Sure, it's rebellion verbalized, but he should be allowed to have a mind of his own. 3. DO NOT GIVE ANY DUTIES, RESPONSIBILITIES Do it all for them. Then they'll think this world owes them a living. They'll quickly join the crowd of grown up babies shouting, "I've got my rights," rather than those who are men and women enough to fulfill their respon...

Yes, we are living in the last days. We are living in the days where so many are being deceived by the tricks, lies, and schemes of the enemy. We are living in the days when wrong seems to be right and right is wrong. We are living in the days when people would rather you tell them a lie and not the truth. The truth is rejected and you are persecuted for standing up for what is right. You are told to be careful or if I were you I would not say that and watch your back. Even from the people who claim to be Christians --it seems that they are rejecting the truth or they are not intimate with it to recognize it. We are living in the days where it is better to blend in with the crowd and not stand up for what is right and speak against what is wrong. Some don't stand out because of fear or intimidation. But don't we recognize that God has not given us the spirit of fear but He has given peace, love, and a sound mind. We need not be afraid because no weapon formed against us shall p...

Over the past several days I have been thinking, meditating, praying and reading. I thank God for the following blogs that I read and have helped to bring my thoughts into words and bring clarity to things. I thank God for the people of God who truly love Him and are dedicated to Him and His Word. We are not ashamed of the gospel or HIS name. We will continue to be steadfast, immovable, and always abounding in the work of the LORD knowing that our labor is not in vain. He is coming soon and we must be prepared. We must continue to fight the good fight of faith, and continue to press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. We can trust God because He will never leave us nor forsake us. He is a good God and His mercy endures forever. Great is thy faithfulness oh Lord our God!!!

Ray Boltz - I Pledge Allegiance To The Lamb Lyrics (conversation between father and son) (Son) Dad, has it always been this way? (Dad)Well, even from the beginning men hated Jesus Even thought he did nothing but love them And teach them and heal them. They nailed him to a cross. They thought they had killed Him, but they only set him free To live in the hearts of people like you and me who believe in Him. Then came the apostles and most of them were killed For telling other people about Jesus. So they tortured them and killed them And even left their bodies to rot as an example to other people, But the church kept right on growing Watered by the blood of these precious Saints. (Son) But Dad, Did they want to die? (Dad)No. They didn't want to die. I mean, many of them had children Just like you they had to leave behind. But they were forced to make a choice. They could choose to live this one life here on earth and reject Jesus And be dambed DAMNED or they could to believe in the w...

A diamond before it can be used looks like a rock with rough and unsmooth edges. It is dull, discolored, and to the natural eye it may look like a piece of stone that should be disregarded or thrown away. That was me many years ago. I was covered with fear and intimidation. I was not very attractive to just anyone. Not many people wanted to be near me. I was alone – or so I thought. But I had lots of potential locked up inside of me – I just couldn't see it yet. You see I was like a seed with a hard covering but on the inside I was a beautiful plant waiting to break forth. Someone put it like this –"you need to be unlocked and released. However, I stood on the outside of me and I couldn't see me – the person that God intended for me to be. However, it was all there all along. It is true and I have come to know it more and more each day in a very personal way and that is God has given us everything pertaining to life and godliness. You see the enemy was trying to snatch tha...

Wisdom: This is a very good video for those who are single and not yet married.  I think she made some really good points.  I appreciate Dr. Ty Adams straightforwardness, she does not beat around the bush and she tells it like it is. 

The longer I live and the more I grow as a Child of God the more I am convinced that at the core of everything we do, say, and be, LOVE, has to be our motivating and most important factor. It is more important to be driven by love than anything else. We find this truth throughout scripture. Jesus told the disciples that the greatest commandment is to LOVE the LORD your GOD with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength and to LOVE you neighbor as yourself. We find in 1Corinthians 13 that LOVE is the greatest of all. Everything we do and say must be driven by LOVE. I don't know about others but I know that I am always growing with God's help day by day in LOVE and learning how to LOVE not as the world define it but as God defined LOVE because HE is LOVE. For some reason all this week my mind has been meditating on LOVE, God's Way. I have been thinking and hearing about God's LOVE towards us and the truth is we cannot begin to fathom or even understand His undying, ...

This is worth watching. It is so encouraging to see others who aren't afraid to let their lights shine for Jesus so that men may see and glorify our Father in Heaven.  This is a great!!!

Sarah Palin loves Jesus Christ. Here is a link to a video of her speaking to Master's Commission students. I don't know about anyone else but I believe that people who love Jesus should not just say it but live it. I am so encouraged by her courage to stand up for what is right and honor God in all her ways. My prayers are with her and I know that God is with her. Link: Sarah Loves Jesus!!!

Wow!!! Those of you who are Oprah fans -- you have got to watch this. This is something everyone should see and the very truth in it because so many Christians who watch her religiously are being deceived and don't even realize it. Those of you who are not Oprah fans be informed so that you can know how to speak to those who are and pray for them efffectively. The devil is a liar and always been!!! We also need to keep praying for Oprah -- that God will save her and she will have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ for real... Oprah's new online class covering Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth is exposed. They conducted the first mass trance. Over 2 Million participated in this new age class, a new book Don't Drink the Kool-Aid uncovers shocking truths that must be shared.

God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. God left us great clues as to what foods help what part of our body! God's Pharmacy! Amazing! A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes. A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All o f the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food. Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food. A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cereb...

LET IT GO ... by T.D.Jakes There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person, it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in...

The following prayer was taken from a devotional that I received today and I wanted to share it with everyone, be blessed and encouraged today. Amen!!! Dear Father in Heaven, There are so many couples who long to have children of their own, but they just have not been able to do so. I pray for these families, that you will anoint them and bless the desire of their hearts. On the other hand, there are many children who long to have parents and a stable family to love and care for them. I pray that you will give them hope and bless the desire of their hearts. Please join together those parents and children into loving families. Meet their needs and show your hand in their lives. Thank you for hearing and for working in these special situations. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.

I began the hair locking process on May 23rd of this year. When I first started out my hair was very short and it seemed thin. Here are few pictures of the very first day that my hair stylist did my coils and one week later in Erie, PA. I was told by several individuals that I was a good candidate to begin locking my hair and they said it would look nice on me as well. It took months for me to really decide to try it. Then at my second appointment I saw amazing results that I was impressed with I could not believe how much and how quickly my hair began to grow. My hair stylist was also impressed with the results. Here are more pictures after my second appointment. It was after this appointment that I decided that I would definitely keep the style and I really like it a lot. I was searching for about one year or more for a natural hair style that is easy to take care of, inexpensive, and would look great on me. I have found it. I'm loving it. Thank you, Father. At my third appoi...
