Minister to me.

Minister: To attend to the wants and needs of others; to perform the functions of a cleric. According to my standards, I’ve been something of a whiney baby lately. I’ve grown tired of encouraging myself and have deeply desired for someone to minister to me. I’ve needed someone to speak God’s word to me. ToContinue reading "Minister to me."

Singing to a Barren Womb

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.  ~ Colossians 3:16 I believe I've been fighting depression for many years. I believe Satan has been attacking me continually with very little respiteContinue reading "Singing to a Barren Womb"

Birthday Verse Study: August 17

For many years now, I've opened the Bible to 8:17 verses to see if anything would pop out to me as a prophecy for my life.

Truthfully, I can’t say that my vulnerability was well-received or treated well. I can’t report that my availability was appreciated or taken advantage of in a positive manner.Continue reading "Awareness of Nakedness"

“It was all worth it.”

A young woman I've been helping this year asked me the other day, "Ms. Jones, If your life were to end right now, in this moment, and you were taken up to Jesus immediately to see Him face-to-face, what would be the first question you ask Him?" She had asked the question so earnestly, IContinue reading "“It was all worth it.”"

In Loving Memory of My Brother, Antoine Jones

It’s very hard to believe it’s been five years since my brother passed away. Life is just so fleeting… so elusive - especially when you don’t attend to it. It’s interesting to me that I was just summarizing the last five years of my life in terms of my spiritual growth – learning to obey,Continue reading "In Loving Memory of My Brother, Antoine Jones"
