All That Matters To Me

All that matters me is what you see when
You look at me
All that matters to me is how you feel when
You think of me
No more distractions my one affection
Is only you my Jesus now….
You’re all that matters*

When I was younger I worried so much about what others thought. All of my worth was bound up in other peoples opinions. My self-esteem and self-worth hit rock bottom when I was 19 and I couldn't take it anymore, I wanted it all to end. During that time of total and utter self-hate the Lord showed me that my worth is found in His eyes. When you look into the Father's eyes all you is love shining down at you. No matter what you do or what you look like to God you are beautiful. Worth dying for.

We will always be tempted to measure ourselves against the world but your worth isn't measured in worldly measurements because we can't measure pricelessness. Only God can.

All that matters to me is who and what He sees when He looks at me and that should be all that matters to you too.

Podcast Episode 3: Living in THE Truth

I started a podcast! We are 3 (three) episodes in. I talked about a Jonah moment over on Facebook and this was it. God had placed on my heart to start this podcast a year ago and I sat in the fish a whole year. But, I finally decided to be obedient and the fish spit me out and I'm so glad that I did. This has been a good ride so far. God is good. Episode 3 is up now. In this episode we talk about truth. In this crazy world we are in today the truth is in the eye of the beholder. We are living in our truth. But God is the same yesterday, today and forever and in God's economy there is one truth, THE truth. Jesus is the way, TRUTH, and the life.  Thanks for listening. The podcast is on all of these platforms. So please listen and rate.

Listen to the Pressure of Being Gifted

"You are born looking like your daddy but you will die looking like your decisions" - Pastor Keion Henderson This is a great word that spoke to my heart. This journey I am on, Lord I don't know what you are doing but I will keep fighting to be who you want me to be. I love Elevation Church . The Unlikely Missionary DHW

Is the Bible Misogynistic?

I read in the Facebook comments of an article that God is misogynistic and it troubled my spirit. I am all about girl power. And I have always believed that women are just as important to God as men. We are all God's children. If the Bible and therefore God is misogynistic how could I believe in that? The fact is, I have never believed that the Bible or God is misogynistic. Why? It’s simple really. God says that there are two great commandments and one of them is love your neighbor as yourself ( Matthew 22:35-40 ). If I truly live this commandment I could not be misogynistic because I would treat others the way I want to be treated; with respect, kindness, love and without prejudice. Using the logic from one if I’m not following that commandment I’m sinning and sin is not of God because He is sinless ( 2 Corinthians 5:21 ). If God is not sinless than the Bible, His Word is not true and the whole basis of the Christian faith is moot and therefore none of it is true ( 2 Timothy...
