First steps in faith
By Taletha Odom/Guest Writer
Martin Luther King, Jr. once said “Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.”
As history portrays, Martin Luther King, Jr. was a man of great faith. Faith so strong, that he risked his life for his beliefs and died in faith, that one day all men would be equal. His faith is greatly admirable in the world today, but what about those who struggle in having faith, or choose not to have faith at all. -
Will your faith stand?
By Jennie Heberg/Guest Columnist
Just imagine you’re a 15 year old living a life that affords you the best your country has to offer.
Your parents have seen to it that you are well established in the best learning facilities available but first and foremost have seen to it that your life is rooted and grounded in a great faith in The One True God, Jehovah. You attend services regularly as a family, there is a habit of prayer in your household and God is sought in every area of your life. -
I've been there
By Martha Bannister/Guest Writer
Have you ever been where the willows grow,
down by the creek where the cool waters flow?
I have; I’ve been there.
Have you ever noticed, just laid and watched
how God makes things grow?
I have; I’ve been there. -

Oh happy day!
By Lisa G. Smith/Guest Columnist
I woke up this morning having less than a happy day. I was in the midst of spiritual warfare with some heavy duty opponents. I sat glumly in my chair by the window sipping coffee and crying. I was at a choice point. I knew the day had many possibilities, but I had to choose. Was it going to be a happy day or not? -

A righteous anger ...
By Tammy Schaubhut/Guest Columnist
How could this happen? Why didn't he care that I was dying on the inside? These were the questions running through my head as I laid in my empty king sized bed all alone. My husband was gone.
The allure of the world had captured his heart and taken him prisoner unaware. -
Kum ba ya
By Lisa G. Smith/Guest Columnist
The word Kum ba ya originated in an African American song in the 1930’s, in one place it is said to mean, ”Come By Here.” A song will go through my head sometimes, and I later find it has some spiritual meaning for my life as this one did. In the spring of this year while on house-sitting, I found myself singing Kum ba ya a lot. At first I didn’t known what it meant I just knew it was an old folk song.
This job was the first time I had ever been totally alone away from family. I left my home, family, pets, security and all the comfort zone living that went with that. I wasn’t far away, but this was me. I was the person who had always lived next door to her children and right down the road from her parents. I won’t even tell you how far away I was because you’d just laugh at me. To me it felt far! -
Beautiful Brokenness
By Christine Collier/Guest Columnist
Right now you may be scratching your head and asking the question, “What could ever be beautiful about brokenness?” It is quite the oxymoron, but I truly believe that times of brokenness are the greatest places in which we can find ourselves with limitless possibilities for hope, restoration and ultimately a road map to a new life. - More Women of Faith Headlines
