I often heard around me about the anointing of God, but I had never really stopped to think about the question; what exactly is that? Until I attended a great event of The One in Him Foundation. I have written about this ministry before, and I will continue to do so, because what a great […]

Sometimes there are days you just don’t have the words to pray. Maybe you recognize that? I usually notice it when I’ve been too busy with other things for a while and God kind of parked in the waiting room of my life. I know that I need, and want to make time with Him,

Being single; it might not really be something you would choose or want at first.   We are all searching for love, acceptance, connection and security. When you don’t know Jesus, you will search for all kinds of things that can never fully fulfill you. When my relationship ended last year, I also ended up
