I love God's Word. There has not been a time when I read it and not be filled. It is up to us how quickly we mature and willing to learn from God. (take the time and prioritize your life) S.O.A.P Scripture.Observe.Apply.Pray S.  Today I read Mark 16:7 " Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter , that Jesus is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died." O.  God gives us clear directions. Being a Christian also requires us to be in action. Jesus had 12 disciples including Peter. The angel made a special mention of Peter, because Jesus wanted to show him that he still loves him, even though Peter denied him. If you read the story of Peter, you will find a man that was very impulsive and had his foot to many times in his mouth. He was a follower of Jesus. At times he was a little aggressive, but genuinely loved Jesus. This is the same man who said to Jesus:" Even if everyone else deserts you, I never wi...

Travel blog Saturday, Oct. 29 th 2011 NYC – LAX I thank God every day for waking me up. Especially when I only had 4 hrs of sleep. Before I went to bed I prepped everything for the next morning, bags packed, check. Clothes laid out ready to wear, check. Phone charged, check. Important docs together, check. Snacks for the morning, check. Taxi booked, check and the list goes on. It is so important to plan ahead as best as you can to prevent any crazy last minute actions. Little did I know? I woke up to my smart alarm 15 min. earlier at 4:15am. Common alarm, don’t be robbing me of my sleep. How many of you would go right back to sleep after hitting the snooze button? I’m not a big snooze button friend, unlike my husband. But when you are deprived from sleep, it becomes your best friend. Well, not really in my case. My alarm clock never buzzed again. Somehow, I felt something tugging me to wake up! The Holy Spirit does not play around with you. Now it’s 4:51a...

1 Peter 4:1-11 NLT "So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin. You won’t spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God. You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy—their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols. Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you. But remember that they will have to face God, who will judge everyone, both the living and the dead. That is why the Good News was preached to those who are now dead—so although they were destined to die like all people, they now live forever with God in the Spirit. The end of the world is comin...
