We are more than conquerors through [Christ] who loved us. (Romans 8:37 NIV) It’s been eight years since I launched my personal blog on Facebook. At first, Rising with the Son sounded like a catchy title for a Christian book I intended to publish. I still remember brainstorming a bunch of titles with my bestContinue reading “Rising with the Son”

Rise Up!
A story is told of two women who were in desperate need of prayer while sick in the hospital. One said that her pastor never showed up, but he let her know he was praying for her; while the other said her pastor came, anointed her with oil, said a quick prayer and was goneContinue reading “Rise Up!”
A Year to Rise Above

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with finding – and being – with someone who loves and makes youContinue reading “Rise Above the Lies”
Rise Above Evil
“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good…” (Genesis 50:20 ESV) Do I believe that people can have bad intentions towards us, even those we thought were supposed to be good to us? People who would rather see you fail than win, cry than laugh, fall than rise? Sadly,Continue reading “Rise Above Evil”
