The truth is, not everyone makes it through those moments, some can never revive that “loving feeling” and decide to call i...

Finding the Perfect Marriage, Through An Imperfect Spouse

My husband and I got married relatively quickly, seven months from the time we met to be exact. When we met, we were both searching, not for someone to hang out with, but rather a life partner. We were purposeful while dating in considering if the person we were dating could become our spouse.

We never thought that we could Find the Perfect Marriage, Through An Imperfect Spouse!

We were blessed to experience a wonderful courtship and shortly after God blessed our wedding day.

Then came the...

2016 Would’ve Been the Worse Year Ever, But This Happened…

As the entire world transitioned from 2016 to 2017, people celebrated with family, friends and loved ones. Beautiful fireworks displayed as midnight hit the different time zones and people cheered with hugs and kisses welcoming in 2017! It took me some time to embrace 2017, not because I wasn’t ready for it, but I wanted to take the time to pray and dedicate this year to God. I reflected on the last six months of 2016, and it was a true time of testing spiritually, professionally, personally...

Why “Praying for Your Ex” in 2017 Is A Great Idea!

Would you ever consider putting “Praying for your ex” at the top of your 2017 new year’s resolution?If not, I would like to share with you Why Praying for your Ex in 2017 is a Great Idea!

If I am honest, I know that I use to be appalled at the idea of Vince praying for his ex-wife. I certainly had my reservations about praying for her myself. I had my thoughts of how our marriage was supposed to be and my husband praying for his ex-wife was not something that I had included. When we first g...

The Verse That Carried Me Through 2016!

At the start of a race, runners take their mark on the track. The starter sounds Pop! And each runner is off their mark and down the track in a full sprint. The start of 2016 caught the Jordan Family in the middle of some big life stuff to work through. We were carrying heavy burdens and facing changes right from the start. We did not have a chance to prep and train like a runner. I think we looked more like fans in the crowd who were dragged out on the track, realized they were part of a ra...

The Most Important Thing I Learned from “The Uncensored Me!”

Ready, set, ACTION…..As the year 2017 quickly approaches, I find myself going over the do’s and don’ts of my life. At the end of every year I conduct a review of the various trials and tribulations that endured and how I overcame them with the Lord. It’s like I have this mental recording system that allows me to fast forward, rewind, and press pause on the meaningful moments of my life. Meaningful by definition is when something is full of significance, purpose, or value. One of my most sig...
