The Pain I Feel Inside

The Pain I Feel Inside
by Yevette Gooden

Isn’t it amazing that with over six billion people in the world how alone we as individuals can feel? Loneliness is one of the most frustrating experiences for a single Christian. The constant change of friends getting married, moving away or expecting a child serves only to isolate us even more. This mental form of isolation is one of the shrewdest and oldest tricks from the enemy. This in it self will often thrust us from self-pity to feelings of bitterness and resentment in no time.

Happily Even After
by Marilynn Griffith

REVIEWER: Tyora Moody

Marriage, Motherhood and a Monster-in-Law.

Tracey Blackman, a newlywed and now a mother seems to have it all except for a few minor issues. More like major issues! At the top of the list is Queen Elizabeth.

The Bet

The Bet
by Becky DeWitt

Have you ever been in a fight? All of us at some point in our lives have had the encounter, whether it was physical, verbal, mental, or spiritual. If you have been redeemed from the hand of the enemy by the precious blood of Jesus, there will always be a fight until the time of His return.

INTERVIEW | Kendra Norman-Bellamy

Kendra, describe yourself for our visitors.

“A lover of words” is a phrase that describes me well. Whether reading them, writing them, or listening to them – I have a great appreciation for quality creative expression. I find good music very stimulating so I listen to it often when I’m creating a story. Because of its inspirational message, gospel music is my melody of choice, but I also enjoy jazz and adult R&B. Fitness is important to me, too, so I eat well and exercising five days per week.
