Today I was introduced to another story of an amazing person’s life that has made and is still making an impact on this world. It provoked my normal response to these type of stores; it got me thinking about my life and how I could hone in on an area and make great change. However; [...]

Tonight I was thinking of one of my siblings in Christ who seems to be veering in a wrong direction, which got me thinking about many siblings I’ve grown up with who have temporarily (I say this with hope and faith) chosen to go down wrong paths. Recently the Lord allowed me to hang out [...]
Deuteronomy 12:6-7 (New King James Version) 6 There you shall take your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the heave offerings of your hand, your vowed offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks. 7 And there you shall eat before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice in all to [...]
Lately, I have been struggling to pursue God wholeheartedly with the zeal I use to and I haven’t known why. This has been frustrating for me, because I am an all or nothing person. Now instead of giving my all: I’m in this place where I feel like I’m holding back some from God as [...]
So yesterday I stopped to pick up some food, I drove up to the window and was met by some lady who had a bad attitude. She took my money, and then basically threw my food/change into my car with a quick, “have a good day”, before abruptly closing the window. I began to drive [...]

Do You Wear GO GO Boots? If So Take Them Off and Prioritize
Posted: November 10, 2009 in Avalon BenoitThis Sunday in my discipleship group I noticed there were allot of us that were having issues prioritizing our life. This is a prevalent struggle especially in the “American go go” culture. However, we must have God as top priority in our lives at all times. It’s allot when you start thinking about it and [...]
So Lately God has been speaking to me about focusing back on the basics that make up our Christian walk: love, patience, and mercy; pretty much the fruits of the spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 (New International Version) 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such [...]
My heart is full, filled with love, desperation and hunger I place before you. Before me you place a feast: a chair st your table have you prepared for me. I kneel face down on the floor crying out for more and more of you. You uplift my face to partake of the wonderful spread [...]
