So very thankful that in the midst of trials and sufferings, "I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able" to keep me in perfect peace when my mind is stayed on HIM!!!

Publically Renoucing Beth Moore

God has faithfully and patiently changed my heart and led me gently through the process of sanctification over the course of my life as a believer, and for that I am very thankful. The process of sanctification is just that "a process". Since 2009, God has through the scriptures and sound biblical teaching led me away from the teachings of Beth Moore and having been in a place of women's leadership in a former ministry I feel it necessary to publically renounce all association with Beth Moore Bible studies and books, conferences that I led or attended, and repent of association with her materials.


Truthfully, when in a teaching position and asked to lead her Bible studies, I only taught a few studies Esther, Stepping Up, and Get Out of That Pit all of which were filled with some sound doctrine and understanding of the scriptures. As is customary when I taught, I always asked the participants to please have discernment in "chewing the meat and spitting out the bones". For me, being a member of a Southern Baptist Church meant that you basically taught Lifeway materials and of course Beth Moore is one of their more successful authors of Bible studies for women. If you would like to read more documented reasons for not reading or using Beth Moore materials please see the following website articles:

There are numerous website addressing the concerns with Beth Moore's unbiblical teaching and associations with other false teachers. I would ask you to forgive me for teaching her studies and ask God to give you discernment to see the error of her teachings as I did back in 2009-2010. When you seek the truth you will find it, I believe. God has been faithful to show me truth in His Word, and for that I am forever grateful.

National Day of Prayer

Let's not forget that today is the National Day of Prayer, God Bless America!

I really miss blogging!

Wow, I just looked at my blog and realized that it has been over two years since I have blogged and I really miss it. Life has been crazy especially this past year, however, after being inspired by a great sermon yesterday at the Church of the Apostles preached by my former pastor Dr. Charles Carter entitled "Come before Winter" I have decided today to make some much needed personal changes in my life. Here is a list of things I have really missed doing the past several years: 1. Blogging 2. Taking pictures with my camera (which needs repair) 3. I-Phone 4. Writing 5. Teaching Bible study 6. Going to the gym 7. Spending more time with my friends 8. Hosting tea parties Goal: To do more living, more laughing and more things I love!

It has been a year!

Today, life has once again changed and I am firmly convinced that God has an amazing way of pruning His beloved so that we might bear fruit and even much fruit as we walk in obedience to Him. For me, life's unexpected or even expected changes are often small disturbances in my life....for those affected by the earthquake in Japan this morning, change is severe and drastic even resulting in death. I am reminded of God's sovereign control over life, death, and certainly the things of this world.

Stay tuned for the catch up from the past year, as I purposefully determine to shake the dust off of my feet and move forward!

God Bless!
