Our God by Micah Stampley

I first heard a song by Micah Stampley called "Holiness" about ten years ago on a WOW music CD. There was something so powerful about the song and the vocal arrangements were on point. Last week, I heard his version of the song, "Our God" and it was also amazing. He starts by singing softly "Water you turned into wine, opened the eyes of the blind, there's no one like you". Even before the chorus, the first lines are crucial as they show the diversity of Jesus' many miracles. In fact, I am still puzzled by the fact that Jesus' first miracle was at a wedding. Aren't weddings trivial to some? Well I guess clearly not to Jesus because he cared enough to the extent to perform his first miracle. So sidenote, there's nothing too small for Jesus to do. #Take the limits off of Jesus.

PS. You can find Micah Stampley's songs on youtube too. That is where I get all my music.

What about Trust?

Never trust anyone just because they tell you good words and do sweet things. Observe and figure out if it's seasonal or for a lifetime.

Loving Children

You don't love a child because they are lovable but because you know that they need some love.

How to Know Your True Friends

Sometimes you think you know who your true friends are. Failure is not the only test of sincerity. Success is also a great one. If they can't applaud your success sincerely then who are they to you? Remember that a dangerous snake is the one who hides in the long grass.

Communication and Couples

As I was going through Ebony magazine today something caught my eyes. It was one of the things that a featured couple said. They said that one of the most important or biggest communication classes is marriage. I laughed because I wouldn't doubt that for a fact. I think any relationship that requires vulnerability and trust needs some hardcore communication. So the best place to start learning those skills is with your loved ones.

How to Overcome your Innermost Fears

Fear is a four letter word just like love. You can overcome fear by love. You ask how? Well you need to figure out the root of your fear then realize that you might lose someone or something if you can continue operating in fear. So your deep love for another factor related to your fear can be the bridge to your victory. Let the 4 letter words cancel out the other 4 letter words. Does that sound like balancing chemical equations? No pun intended.

Looking for Love in a Cold World

Would you be able to make it through your own deal breaker list?
