A Group Like That

For many years, I was a back-slidden Christian that knew Jesus, but had no clue how to live for Him. I was caught in the grip of addiction, abusive relationships, poverty and loaded down with all kinds of sin. I just kept trying to get good by going to church and trying to do more good than bad, but it never worked. I was the girl in the back row of church; the single mom with two boys…

Elephant In The Room

When I got divorced my life begin to run faster deep into the wilderness of what would soon become my regret, yet my awakening. I never experienced drinking to the point of black out until after my divorce. Not only did I experience that but I did so on two other occasions that summer. The person in the mirror was a stranger. I felt as if I had a battle going on inside of me.

Tonight I am sitting here feeling like I am in my 20’s but I am actually in my 40’s. And for a moment I was telling myself that I need to stop feeling like I am 20 years old because “you are 42 years old Melissa.” And then quickly after that I asked myself, “what does a 42-year-old feel like and act like?” That is a hard question because I am a 42-year-old who is not sure what a 42-year-old is…

I think a reason why we hesitate to ask God certain questions is because we’re afraid of the answer…a “no” or even a “yes” can require hard things from us. It can ask us to change our lives in a way that’s so uncomfortable, so we question whether or not to ask. I am currently in a season where I gave Him the freedom to speak into my life. I am reluctantly willing to hear His answer. LOL Have…

Caswell Get your copy on purelyhisministry.com, abooksmart.com, barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com or Evangel Bookstore.

ABANDONED BY GOD

I used to feel Him all the time as a little girl, knowing He was with me wherever I went, even when I was in trouble and sent to my room. I used to make up songs to sing to Him and I could tell He really liked my singing! We did everything together. Jesus was my best friend. Fast forward twenty something years…I was having a hard time with who God had become. In my mind, He left me and was way…

PLEASE HELP!?

PurelyHis Ministries — Tue, 19 Aug 2014 21:20:41 +0000

One of my dear friends is going through a “rough patch” in her life and sent me a text asking for urgent prayer. The basic content of her situation is that she just returned from a trip to find a message that her job had ended abruptly. On top of that, her savings are depleted, her 401k has run out and her daughter’s braces are only half way through the process and the payments will be due soon.

ALL IN

Surrender done right is not a one-time act, it’s a lifestyle. There is the initial time where you make the choice to go “all in” with the Lord and surrender anything you can think of, but then it’s important to continue in that manner and begin living a life of surrender, by daily giving everything to Him. On New Year’s Eve 2011 we were having a huge party, Christian style, in other words…

THE NIGHT MY VIRGINITY WAS RESTORED!

PurelyHis Ministries — Thu, 10 Oct 2013 21:18:07 +0000

Prior to our wedding night on December 16th, 2012 I had never made love. It was THE BEST night of my life! I had always thought that “making love” meant going slow, but that term was redefined for me that night. I was so…very, very wrong! One might assume that with a sexual past like mine I would have a solid understanding of what “making love” consisted of, however this path was one I had never…

TRUSTING HIM IN TRANSPARENCY

I’ve heard it said many times before “us women have to wear so many hats.” Why don’t we change the word, hats to masks? Isn’t that what it really means anyways? I know that’s not how it’s taught, but isn’t that what we as women tend to do? Generally when this term is used, we change our personality based on the “hat” we’re wearing at the time. We act one way at church, another way at home…
