The Saviour

Our contributor Khyra has a gift for writing poems, and has graciously allowed us to share them with our readers. Stay tuned for more contributors in the future!

The Saviour

Don’t condemn me, don’t tempt me.

HE washed away my sins, now I’m fighting for my blessings

HE promises HE’ll never leave, this world is so messy

Praying for my state as my state of mind changes

Can’t go by what I feel, I just have to trust in my Saviour.

Distractions from myself, I could be the enemy it seems

The son of man has set me free, there is indeed a real enemy

Truth is all I need to see, JESUS came to set the captives free.

HE would never tempt me

Mind my own, and I’ll enjoy the blessings

Willing and obedient, take the frustration out of all of it

I haven’t apprehended

It’s a marathon, just jogging it.

Helpers from GOD along the way

Aiming not to go astray, an obstacle or two in the way

Learning and growing everyday.

Juicing now for energy

Apples, carrots, plus the greens

Slimmed down, mom said, “You’re way too lean.”

All the toxins made me feel unclean

Keep waking up from GODLY dreams

Praying without ceasing

At a pit stop for some healing

Gave in to the one my heart’s been craving

The only one who can save us.

The saviour.

In Love,

In 2010, I met Alisha on set as she was doing makeup for my film “He Heard My Cry“. We hit it off and I really loved her sweet and genuine personality. In 2014 we saw each other at The Ellen Degeneres show when we were both pregnant with our baby girls. Time has interweaved our storylines again and again, but the greatest moment of all was seeing the birth of her daughter’s movement Khloe Kares. I vividly remember Alisha letting all of her friends on social media know that her daughter Khloe was creating purses for homeless women filled with essentials to make them feel loved. She saw a neglect for those who live on the street, and wanted to make a difference. Fast forward and now Khloe is getting invited to radio shows, talk shows, news outlets, and being tweeted by celebrities. Who says you can’t be small and do big things? Khloe’s next project will be a toy drive. This toy drive will supply barbies and trucks to kids who are in group homes. Khloe understands that other kids may not have the same privileges as her so she wants to give back. Continue reading “Promo Tuesday with Khloe Kares” →

Promo Tuesday with Couples Academy

Promo Tuesdays is where we highlight our brothers and sisters who are moving through ministry and small business while spreading the gospel as the Lord leads. Please support them by checking out their website and social media.

Once in a while, my church would have an event called “The Marriage Encounter”. In a way, it was like a group couple’s therapy where married church members would come and ask questions about the ins and outs of intimacy, in-laws, raising children, infidelity, you name it. A few of those times we would have a session with Hasani and Danielle Pettiford of The Couples Academy. I always looked forward to their insight, and am so glad I can follow them online through their website and social media in order to keep getting that objective and educated advice about marriage. Even if you’re not married yet, now might be the best time to discover some great tools that will help you in the future. You may be surprised to know how the habits and relationships you have now will affect your future spouse for good…or for bad. The best part about this for me is that their advice comes from a biblical foundation because my faith is the number one aspect of my world view. I hope you are blessed by their knowledge and the information they freely give. Let me know what you think! Continue reading “Promo Tuesday with Couples Academy” →

Have You Apologized?

About seven years ago, I was at a leadership retreat that my church put on, and one of the sessions I attended featured a speaker who was gifted in the area of apologetics. At the time, I had never heard of the term, and my immediate thought was “Is this when a Christian apologizes to people who have been hurt by the church?” No. By definition, apologetics is reasoned arguments or writings in justification of something, typically a theory or religious doctrine. In Christianity it means that you explain to others why your religion is real and true using science, accurate Bible knowledge, historical evidence, etc.

How I Knew My Husband Was “The One”

I’ve been asked this question so many times by close friends and practical strangers: “How did you know your husband was the one you were supposed to marry?” A common answer–and I agree with this–is “When you know, you know.” There is a definite moment where it just clicks and you both realize “This is for forever.” It’s a concept that’s hard to grasp, and although I felt Jerrell was my future husband the first time we sat down alone and talked for hours, even I needed some reassurance.

It wasn’t until I took my romance to God that I really felt beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was time to prepare for marriage. As much as one could. Just like having kids, you never ever feel ready to be a husband or wife. You couldn’t possibly because there’s no way to rehearse it. I’ve even talked to couples who had lived together for years and felt like marriage was just a piece of paper, but once they tied the knot the experience and the security was noticeably different.

Promo Tuesday with Team Married

Promo Tuesdays is where we highlight our brothers and sisters who are moving through ministry and small business while spreading the gospel as the Lord leads. Please support them by checking out their website and social media.

If you ask any married couple about their relationship, they will tell you that it’s a lot of work. Successful marriages–and relationships in general–don’t just happen, they are cultivated. Something that is very important to me and my husband is finding other married friends who are committed to a healthy relationship, and who are willing to share the ups and downs of their journey and pray for our future as a couple. Tremell and Capitola Parker are a wonderful couple that we’ve been blessed to know for years. I could go on and on about the Godly advice they’ve given us and countless other married folk, but I’d rather you see for yourself. Watch the above video and others on their YouTube channel, and you’re sure to be blessed whether you’re single, dating, happily married, or hitting a rough patch. They’ve covered parenthood, date nights, fighting fair, celibacy, infidelity, and the important fellowship, among other things. Continue reading “Promo Tuesday with Team Married” →

Dating with Intention

Can you imagine being a 17 year old girl and deciding that dating was “not for you”? I’ve talked to many people about the span of five years in my life that I chose not to date, but I thought it would be a good idea to expound upon that subject. I had a few boyfriends before I made this decision. I later realized that I chose to date those guys mostly because they pursued me, and my friends thought that I “should” date them because we were cute together or because I needed a boyfriend.

Promo Tuesday with Jennifer Sosa

I first met Jennifer Sosa at a wedding in 2010 where she scurried around dressed in black, taking photos of the guests and wedding party during the reception. I never really understood the artistry of wedding photographers until I saw the photos she had taken uploaded onto social media. One of the photos I remember most was of the bride and groom in the reflection of water she found on site at the church. I was so used to the staged photography you see time and time again, and I had no idea photographers were “allowed” to experiment on someone’s wedding day. Her portfolio has grown and her style has become more defined since then. It’s hard to keep track of which city she’s in because her talents have her traveling for work often. The fact that she’s hilarious and down-to-earth is another reason to love this woman. From magazines, collaborations, and real-life events, you’ll see the way she paints her world when you visit her beautiful website. Continue reading “Promo Tuesday with Jennifer Sosa” →

He Loves Me

Our first ever contributor Khyra has a gift for writing poems, and has graciously allowed us to share them with our readers. Stay tuned for more contributors in the future!

He Loves Me

Jesus died for me.

He loves me.

My Father which art in Heaven came up with the perfect plan for me to able to abide with Him forever once my days on earth are up.

He loves me.

The Holy Spirit chose to leave His dwelling in Heavenly places and take up residency in me.

He convicts me of sin, He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake, he makes all my paths straight when I acknowledge Him in all my ways, He speaks to me, He lets me know gently when I have lost focus.

He loves me.

Jesus will destroy the option for me to be in a sticky situation if I allow Him to, if I am willing to listen.

He loves me.

He created the heavens and the earth, a place for me to dwell, He went before His disciples to prepare a place in Heaven for us.

He loves me.

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good.

He loves me.

Jesus protects me from the demons that prowl the earth, that have been given power over the flesh.

He loves me.

Jesus gave me another opportunity to do what is righteous, to choose Him, to choose love, and to choose godliness.

He loves me.

He loves me.

Oh, how He loves me.

In Love,

-Khyra L’amour
