This past month has been a remarkable month for me. I gained two new titles, "Bestselling Author" and "Best Director"! Thank all of you who helped me become a "bestselling" author. "Know Your Worth!" received top honors in three categories: #5 in Emotions, #7 in Women Studies, and #7 in Gender Studies. I am riding on a cloud right now! And the wonderful feedback, visit (… Continue

SUPER SIZE IT - THE ERA OF THE MEGA CHURCHES!



BY VICKIE L. EVANS

We live in an economic era where the "Bigger" the item - the "Better"! Fast food restaurant employees routinely ask "Do you want to Super-Size It?" as an enhancement to the already "large" items, such as fries and a soft drink, in a combo. Subsequently, this is a suitable marketing technique in such a competitive industry as the restaurant business, but… Continue

CRIPPLED...BUT CALLED!

BY: VICKIE L EVANS

















This particular article is written and designed for those of us who have been chosen for difficult assignments and cannot fully see or understand how the vision will be fulfilled, nor do we know when the "cards" will play out! On top of that, we question why we (with our inabilities and faults) were chosen for this assignment. If this isn't you, you… Continue

Ladies, I am going to start this chapter out with an admission - I am a shopaholic! Shoe shopping is one of my favorite pastimes. Subsequently, during one of my shopping excursions, I received the meat of this chapter. In one of my favorite department stores, I found a simply gorgeous "name brand" pair of brown ankle boots, pointed- toed, with a skinny 3-inch heel, which incidentally, were on sale. To my surprise, sitting on the same shelf, was… Continue

Moving to Charlotte has been one of my "heart desires" for several years. You know, I have read and… Continue

CLOSURE - By Vickie Evans





“What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.” (Revelation 3:7b NIV)....







Closure – Merriam-Webster on-line dictionary defines it as “an often comforting or satisfying sense of finality”. But when we are saying goodbye or being forced to “close” (foreclosure) something that we have grown fond of, or that we have formed an attachment with; it is neither… Continue

This year has been a year filled with joy and pain, highs and lows, peaks and valleys, and the list goes on. I have been tested on most every hand – my faith has been tested, my sanity has been tested, my patience has been tested, and my endurance has been tested. There were days when I scratched my head in wonderment of how I was going to accomplish the mounting tasks. My ‘to accomplish’ list was longer than my ‘already accomplished list’. Like many Americans, I have faced and conquered many… Continue

As I sit in the middle of debris--preparing for transition---I am thanking God for every shut door (expected and unexpected) and for every opened door (unlimited possibilites). For the Bible states in Revelation 3:8, "I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name."



For every new beginning; there is an… Continue
