Peas In A Divine Pod
Good evening. Last weekend, a powerful message was ministered at a church I fellowship with when I’m in Georgia, The Church At Chapel Hill (CCH). Their current series is titled, “If Not Us, Who? If Not Now, When?” This particular message was on “Assignment.” Although the entire message kept you locked in, one particular part literally made me stop and rewind the podcast. Pastor Jeremiah touched on the American Dream being the American Scheme. In other words, he talked about how desiring to meet the world’s standards of success distracts us from what’s...

Good evening. Only God would be there when my father died at a time when he was all I had. Only God would be there to wait 18 years for me to get to know Him all the while looking out for me. Only God would be there when I did stupid things that should have cost me my life. Only God would be there when a 6 month old made it clear that he was in my life for good. Only God would be there when I had to choose between money for food and money for gas. Only God would be there when I realized that I had purpose even though I didn’t know what it was. Only God would be there during my 150...

So many gathered that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to...

Good evening. Compassion is defined as: “A deep awareness of and sympathy for another’s suffering; the humane quality of understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it.” Key words being “awareness; wanting to do something about it.” That translates to “relating to with the desire to help.” Nowhere does the definition say anything about “relieving” the suffering. We can help, but ultimately, God relieves! Help vs. Relief. Speaking from experience, it’s easy to get those mixed up. I’m convinced that...

Good evening. God wants character that can have lengthy stays in lonely places.” – Pastor Michael Exum When these words were spoken today, I was literally done. Pastor Exum spoke what I haven’t shared with anyone, ever. For a little while now, I’ve been struggling with relationships. Relationships, period. If someone wasn’t annoying me, they were boring me. If I reached out to someone, they pulled back in the opposite direction. Just problems with relationships all the way around. At some point, and though I can’t say when, I realized that I was indeed...
