Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
Here’s a riddle for you:
Most people want this, but often it is hard to find. When we get it, it isn’t enough. We have to act, because without action, it doesn’t exist.
The answer is courage.
Courage is so important that it is often woven throughout movies, stories and even our everyday life conversations. [Read more…]
There was a time in my life not too long ago that I hated to cry in church.
I would do everything in my power to keep those tears from falling. Check out mentally from worship. Blink really hard, really fast. Breathe deep. Stop singing. Anything.
But then, I just got over it. [Read more…]
Our society throws words around. I remember when I was a blossoming student leader in college, my advisor once called me out because I said “Awesome” as a response to ev-ery-thinnnnggg.
She had a great point. “Sharita, when you say that everything is ‘awesome,’ eventually you overuse it and nothing is awesome. You cheapen the word.”
Oh snap. #IKnowRight?
Ever since that time, I have tried to watch my words and use them accordingly. But unfortunately, the world in which we live doesn’t exactly ascribe to that philosophy.
Don’t believe me? Let’s think about some powerful faith-filled words that get tossed around like a rubber dodge ball at recess. [Read more…]

“If only I hadn’t… I wish I didn’t… Why can’t I go back… It’s all my fault.”
Regrets. Mistakes. We all have ’em. We’ve all made ’em.
So what are we supposed to do?

You recognize it immediately. You feel like you have been sucker punched. Your breath gets cut short. You gasp. Your heart leaps into your throat and your stomach drops. There it is…
The aftermath of… an ink pen in the dryer. [Read more…]

Sometimes you have to be knocked down to get your balance. Or perhaps you need to be broken into pieces before you experience real peace.
I love it when God reveals concepts in a new and fresh way… which is exactly what happened to me last week.
My emotions, fears, hopes, feelings have been all over the board in the last couple of weeks. But during my quiet time last Thursday, God gave me a revelation that literally changed my life.
The amount of peace in your life is directly proportionate to the extent in which you trust God. [Read more…]

I am a dreamer.
Not la-dee-da-head-in-the-clouds unfocused dreamer, but a dreamer that loves envisioning new milestones in life and accomplishing goals.
I love the feeling of flying high when I reach a seemingly impossible dream. You know the feeling. On-top-of-the-world-shout-it-from-the-rooftops kind of joy.
Dreaming is fun. Encouraging. Uplifting. And if our dreams bring glory to God (which most of them should), dreaming is a holy experience.
We might think that when we fall short of our dreams that it is a completely heartbreaking, negative experience.
But believe it or not, not reaching our dreams can also be a holy experience. [Read more…]
My daughter has a knack for squeezing into places she shouldn’t.
She climbs under our kitchen chair then freaks out when she gets “trapped” between the four legs.
She squishes between the desk and file cabinet, then squalls for help when she tries to exit a different way.
She attempts to dismount a chair through the back and then hollers when her head won’t fit through without turning it a specific direction.
There are a lot of tight, narrow spots that she can get stuck… And believe it or not, us adults can get stuck too.
Not in narrow places, but in the wide, open spaces of complacency and procrastination. [Read more…]
