Virtuosity Inspired

 For as long as I could remember I have never given up on God.   I have had many hills that I have had to climb, and many rivers to cross along my journey.  I am blessed to say that the Lord has personally granted me to overcome every obstacle that has come in my life.   There have been times that I wanted to give up.  There have been days that I have been broken into a thousand pieces.   People have tried to manipulate me into believing that I was the problem.  Along the way I have learned to look on the bright side of things.  I have always believed that God has special plans when we are downtrodden.  It's not a coincidence that we go through trials, a d the tribulations of life.   I am not so quick to blame the enemy all the time.  Some things are just the trials of life.  Some things we have control over,  but we have all control over the way we respond to our circumstances.   Okay you may...

  Learning to Love Others Well Loving others sounds simple. We hear it in songs, read it in books, and see it stitched into quotes on social media. But in real life—where people are messy, wounded, different, and sometimes difficult—loving others can feel complicated. True love isn’t just a feeling; it’s a practice. It’s something we choose, learn, and grow into over time. Love Begins With Seeing To love someone well, we must first see them. Not the version we want them to be, not the role they play in our lives, but who they truly are. This means listening without planning a response, noticing what goes unspoken, and honoring their experiences even when we don’t fully understand them. Being seen is one of the deepest human needs—and offering that kind of attention is a powerful act of love. Love Requires Patience People move at different speeds. They heal differently, communicate differently, and carry different fears. Loving others means allowing room for that. Patience is ...

  A Minty Moment with Prayer Prayer is like a breath of fresh air for your soul. Just as mint refreshes your mouth, prayer renews your heart. You don’t need fancy words or a perfect setting—just a willing spirit. Whether whispered in the morning, shouted in the car, or thought in the quiet of your mind, prayer is a way to connect with something greater. It’s not about getting everything you want; it’s about growing closer to the One who already knows what you need. When you're overwhelmed, let prayer be your calm. When you're grateful, let prayer be your song. And when you're unsure, let prayer be your compass. So take a deep breath. Exhale the noise. Inhale the peace. And pray—fresh and true, like mint on your tongue.  Until next time may God richly bless you.

  Being Good Within Yourself: The Foundation of a Fulfilling Life In a world that constantly pushes us to seek validation from others, the greatest achievement is finding peace and goodness within ourselves. Being good within yourself isn’t about being perfect—it’s about self-acceptance, integrity, and personal growth. What Does It Mean to Be Good Within Yourself? Being good within yourself means feeling a sense of inner peace, self-worth, and alignment with your values. It’s about: Self-Acceptance – Embracing who you are, flaws and all. Integrity – Living in a way that aligns with your morals and beliefs. Emotional Balance – Managing your emotions rather than letting them control you. Self-Compassion – Being kind to yourself instead of self-critical. When you cultivate these qualities, you build an inner foundation that isn't shaken by external circumstances. Why It Matters Many people chase external validation—through achievements, relationships, or social status—...

Embracing New Beginnings Embrace the Journey: Finding Inspiration in Everyday Life In a world where we are constantly bombarded with the idea of "success" and "achievement," it's easy to forget the simple yet powerful truth: the journey is just as important as the destination. We often look ahead, searching for that next milestone, the next big break, or the next moment of triumph, but we forget to stop and appreciate the small, beautiful moments that make up our daily lives. Today, I want to remind you of the importance of embracing the journey — in all its messy, uncertain, and imperfect glory. 1. Growth Happens in the Process, Not Just the Outcome It’s easy to measure progress by external achievements: promotions, awards, social media validation, and financial success. While these milestones are important, they don’t capture the true essence of growth. Growth is shaped in the moments where we struggle, learn, and overcome. It’s in those late-night thought...

  When I look at my son I am reminded at how blessed I am to have all five senses.  At times some of us tend to forget how much God has favoured us just by giving us life.  Man may never see, or recognize what God has placed in us.   My son has autism.  He is almost twenty three, and the oldest of four children.  I prayed for him.  I always had the desire to be a mother.  I had this calling before anything else in my life.  I was deeply involved church with the initiative to serve.  Eight months after I got married I got pregnant with my first some.  I can remember praying to the Lord for a child, and he took me to the scriptures, and while reading the prayer of Hannah It says in Psalm 113:9 " He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the  Lord".  I  have never forgotten that day.  Eight months after that prayer I became pregnant with my first child.  Fro...
