Tomorrow I begin a new assignment – an opportunity that I prayed for – and after I gave up on it – and forgot about it – the door opened. Now that it has opened, it has caused me a great deal of apprehension, not the least of it is the timing of it. I consented to do it with a certain timeframe in mind, only to find out that due to a change in scheduling, I was a month off. This is my busiest time – the concerns have been mounting that I will not have enough time to meet all my deadlines! read more...

I am still basking in the glory cloud that fell on us tonight at the Chosen Daughters of Destiny Conference which featured a night of worship and praise with Atmosphere of Heaven. All that I could think of was WOW! And even though there was a crowd of young ladies 10-24 there witnessing those who testified of a life changed by the gospel, it is but a drop in the mass numbers of young women who need to hear this message. Who need to know that there is help and there is hope in God! That they were made for a purpose – a purpose that will render them good and not evil; love not abuse; peace not torment. read more...

All week we have looked at the term “perceive” and saw that it is more than a thought or a concept – it is actually a revelation of the head and the heart – that flows from God Himself!

Books like Dr. Gary Chapman’s Five Love Languages help us to understand the languages people operate in; very often experience will help us identify certain characteristics that help us relate to people – such as when you know people like compliments, or how some people like to have the floor all the time in a meeting, or a boss that may really be insecure that comes off harsh. read more...

There is another dimension to perception that goes beyond anything we can do in and of ourselves. The ability to perceive is something that must come from God Himself. We can see, we can hear, we even feel, and intuitively begin to understand; but we will never really begin to perceive a thing in its’ totality until the Holy Spirit removes the scales from our eyes and our hearts and allows us to “enter in” to the true dimension as God designed it. read more...

This week we are going to look at a simple word: to perceive. We found out on yesterday that to perceive is not something that we can obtain by instruction, like wisdom; rather it is something that involves the heart – things that we believe and embrace. Today we want to look at a familiar scripture that speaks of this term; the Proverbs 31 woman perceives something about herself that we should take note of: read more...

Recently I began to think of the word perceive. I believe I know what it means to perceive something – but to be sure I went to the dictionary and found these meanings:
1 a: to attain awareness or understanding of b: to regard as being such
2: to become aware of through the senses ; especially : see, observe (Merriam Webster Dictionary) read more...
