When it Rains…
At one point in my life, I cried out to the Lord, “When will I get to have joy, peace and happiness? When will it be my turn?!” The rain never seemed to end, I felt like my life had been flooded.

Aint No Mountain High Enough
However, as I read my daily devotional a sentence jumped from the page and put a very definite check in my spirit. Prepare for a steep climb. I am teaching you a difficult lesson but do not be afraid. I am with you.

Where There Is Peace
This is a guest poem by veteran Diva writer Ana Nunez. A little over a year ago, Ana submitted a devotional called "Fully Known and Truly Loved" (read that here.) and this year, she said she was working on some poetry.

The Little Church that Could
Miss USO, Singer, Speaker, Actress, and all of the titles we give and get in life; One would never think ‘former homeless person’ would be in that list, but it is. However, this story is not about being homeless. It’s about our journey to a home full of gifts that only God could give through the kind and generous hands of a church. A church that brought new meaning to the term “good works.”
