Sunset in Detroit

Yesterday was the big day. 

I packed up all of my belongings and moved out of Detroit, into the suburbs. 

This last week, my neighbor Abbie and I went for a walk and we saw the most spectacular sunset on the horizon on Michigan Ave. Michigan Ave usually isn't glaring with beauty but the sunset that we saw made it look amazing.

Every time I take a step into a new chapter of my life, God gives me a sign. This was my sign... a sunset, and it seemed appropriate to post a picture of this glorious sunset, shining on a city that has seen its share of less than glorious days. 

Stay tuned for the sunrise ... rising in Northville (MI). 

The Storm

I found a live streaming this morning of North Cleveland Church of God, the church I was a member of when I lived in Tennessee. 

Pastor Maloney was my pastor in Michigan, prior to my moving to Tennessee and moved to Tennessee the month after I moved. He and his wife Sharon are my Spiritual parents and if it weren't for their walk with the Lord and investment in me, I don't know where I would be today. They are the Elijahs in my life.

Today was a timely message for me today. It was a reminder that God is with me and has a purpose for the storm I'm facing right now.  Thank God for His lifelines of hope and obedient men of God who preach the word of God, even in the middle of their own storms. 

Here is the link to today's sermon. We all need to hear this message from time to time.

Twists and Turns in the Road of Life

A month ago I was met with demands at my job in which I wasn't sure I could meet expectations. Although overwhelming, I worked as hard as I could and trusted God with the outcome.

A couple of weeks ago, I was laid off from my job. 

It was unfortunate, but a learning experience. 

Although I was doing everything I possibly could and was successful in many aspects, the company was struggling and it succumbed to the pressure of the economy. 

I've learned so much from this experience and have made decisions to transition my career into things I love and can do with my God given talents. 

Its a stretch and a big step of faith. 

I've leaned on what I know and its time to step up and do more - relying on God.

More to come ... if you're reading this please pray for me. 

I really need it about now.
