The Impact of Domestic Violence Doesn’t Go Away…When You Went Away…

The Impact of Domestic Violence Doesn’t Go Away…When You Went Away…

Domestic Violence is an Epidemic that Just Won’t Slow Down!Just recently, I had the privilege of conducting a workshop on domestic violence; primarily focusing on those that have physically left the abusive environment but the “abusive environment” had not left them. At the conference, we had an awesome audience of women that had stories to tell and I can only imagine the one’s that had a story to tell but were not able to verbalize it…..yet. I’m obviously not going…

“Are You Experiencing a Crisis of Belief?”

“Are You Experiencing a Crisis of Belief?”

I’ve been sharing thoughts on the topic of adjustments to several audiences. Let me share a brief component of that lessonbased on an interesting term called“crisis of belief”. This term actually came from an awesome workbook called “Experiencing God” by Henry and Richard Blackaby, perhaps some of you are familiar with this teaching. When you read the term “crisis of belief” you may have a tendency to think about a negative type event (e.g. crisis) that will impact your belief…

“When Was The Last Time You Cleaned Your Net?”

“When Was The Last Time You Cleaned Your Net?”

I posted earlier about “casting our nets” and this whole concept regarding net casting has continually moved me to “plunge” into the deep of its meaning and its application to our everyday lives. I’m discovering that this study of net casting has several components that need be examined and one of them being the importance of net cleaning. This can be a tedious task but is crucial to do after every casting. Know that after any casting – we’re going to…

“Power of the Human Touch”

“Power of the Human Touch”

There’s a prayer line I take part in every morning and this week we’ve been praying for our leaders being inspired by the story of Moses and the  battle against Amalek. (Exodus 17) As long as Moses held his hands up, the battle was being won, as soon as his hands came down they began to lose.  To this end, Aaron and Hur put a stone under Moses to sit down but here’s the personal lesson that hit me this…

“It’s Time to Cast Your Nets”

“It’s Time to Cast Your Nets”

  I was listening to a familiar bible story this morning regarding Peter and the other fishermen that were wrapping up their nets because of an unsuccessful attempt to catch anything that evening. (Luke 5) There were two things that caught my attention and that was Peter’s verbal response in contrast to his behavior. His verbal response was a very powerful statement that demonstrated obedience to Jesus’ instruction, Peter stated – “Nevertheless at thy word” – yet his behavior demonstrated…

“It’s Time to Come Out Our Cell”

“It’s Time to Come Out Our Cell”

As I was teaching the adult Sunday school class yesterday, we were discussing Paul’s letter sent to the people of Philippi while in prison (e.g. Philippians 1) where he was encouraging them to be bold in spreading the gospel no matter what. This made me begin to think about the prisons and the cells we may be in emotionally or psychologically. We knew Paul was in a physical prison cell but I began to challenge my students, and myself, to…

Living A Full Life

Living A Full Life

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to experience a phenomenal celebration of the life of Dr. Byerte W. Johnson who went to be with the Lord on January 2, 2019. The church was packed with individuals both young and old and from every walk of life. We all had some type connection with Dr. Johnson in a variety of ways related to music. As a young girl, I took piano lessons from her for several years and can picture that upright…

It’s finally time to Begin !

It’s finally time to Begin !

Hello Everyone: I thought it would be helpful to let my first blog be a brief explanation as to why I came up with the name – “passion and pearls”. When I think of the word passion – I think of strength, strong feeling and emotion, devotion, and heart’s desire. I don’t believe passion is something that just ‘falls out the sky’ – it’s something that continually echo’s in our mind and heart. When your thoughts are not focused on…
