Managing the Weight of the Call This past Sunday, though we gathered online due to the weather, the weight of the Word was just as heavy—and just as needed . Pastor Willie Diggs taught from 2 Samuel 22:1–7 , reminding us that calling carries weight . And if we’re honest, many of us are not struggling with whether we are called—we’re struggling with how to manage the weight of that call . As a nurse navigator, I’ve learned something both in Scripture and in healthcare: weight

Arise, Align, and Advance. There is a divine rhythm to the call of God— Arise. Align. Advance. It is not rushed, yet it is never late. It does not always arrive when life feels convenient or comfortable. In fact, more often than not, God calls us in the middle —in the stretch, the uncertainty, the pressure—because that is where His glory shines brightest. Scripture reminds us: “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” — Proverbs 16:3 God does not wa

✨ SHIFT — Isaiah 43:18 Devotional ✨ “Remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old.” — Isaiah 43:18 (KJV) There comes a moment in every believer’s journey when God announces a shift . It’s not always loud. It doesn’t always make sense. It doesn’t always wait for us to be ready. But it is always holy, intentional, and strategic. Today at The City Worship Center , Pastor Diggs reminded us that God is calling His people out of the comfort zone of what was

✨Devotional: “Keeping the Main Thing, the Main Thing” — Mark 8:36✨ From the Heart of a Nurse Navigator “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” — Mark 8:36 (KJV) Today at my Church, The City Worship Center, Pastor Diggs took us straight to the core of our walk with Christ — the balancing act of life. Not a balance of schedules and shifting priorities, but the deeper balancing act between the pull of this world and the call of

✨ DEVOTIONAL: “THE CALL TO FOLLOW” — LUKE 9:23 Scripture:   “Then he said to them all: ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.’” — Luke 9:23 (NIV) There is a quiet and powerful invitation tucked inside Luke 9:23—a call that still echoes across centuries and lands in our lives right now. Jesus doesn’t disguise the cost of discipleship. He doesn’t sugarcoat the path. Instead, He tells us plainly that following Him requi

✨ The Chain-Breaking Revolution ✨ From the heart of Catherine Pickett- RN CNC Nurse Navigator There is a passage in Luke 8:26–39 that has been stirring in my spirit ever since Pastor Diggs preached it today at The City Worship Center. It’s the story of the man possessed by a legion of demons—isolated, tormented, naked, and living among the tombs. Nobody could bind him because the real battle was not what people could see. But as always when Jesus stepped onto the scene thing

📖 Anchored — A Devotional from Hebrews 6:18–19 “That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast…”  — Hebrews 6:18–19 (KJV) 🌊 The Weekend Warrior This weekend was not ordinary. As a night shift nurse, I had already been awake for more than 24 hours. On Saturday, I served as a caregi

📖 Devotional: “The God Who Answers the Call” Scripture: Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV) “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” 💡 Reflection Jeremiah 33:3 is often called God’s telephone number so let’s call him ! This is a direct invitation into divine conversation. This was spoken to Jeremiah during a time of confinement, isolation, and national crisis. Jeremiah was physically in prison, but God’s voice could still reach

Mankind was Created to Create!! Genesis 1:26 (KJV):   “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…” 1. “Let Us”—The Divine Collaboration Before there was ever a world, before there were oceans or mountains, before there was light—there was God. But even in the beginning, God was not alone. When Scripture says, “Let us,”  it reveals the holy fellowship of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit . Three in perfect unity. Three in perfect agreement. Three op

🌿 Devotional: The Lord Will Make a Way Scripture:   2 Kings 4:1–7 (KJV) Theme:   When I’m down to nothing, God is up to something. 🔹 Introduction There comes a moment in every believer’s life when the cupboards are empty, the accounts are low, and the only thing left is faith. The widow in 2 Kings 4 knew this feeling all too well. Her husband was gone, her creditors were coming, and all she had left was a jar of oil — a small resource in the face of a great need. But when s

The Wall !! Devotional: “Walk It Out — Until the Walls Fall” Scripture:   Joshua 6:1–20 There’s a moment in every journey where God gives a strategy that doesn’t make sense to the natural eye. In Joshua 6, the walls of Jericho didn’t fall because Israel had the strongest army or the best tools. They didn’t fall because Israel pushed, pulled, or fought. The walls fell because they obeyed. God told Joshua and the people to march — quietly — for six days. Not complain. Not quest

Having work a 12 hour shift I was not able to be physically at church, but thank God for live stream and Replay. The message was so meaningful. Pastor Diggs really gave us a Word to take to the next level in prayer and time we spend with God. 🌿 Prepared in the Pit Scripture:   Genesis 37:23–28; 50:20 Theme:  “They can take the coat, but they can’t take the call.” — Pastor Willie Diggs 💬 Reflection: I’ve learned that favor isn’t just about open doors — sometimes, it’s about

🌿 Devotional: “Peace That Stands Guard” Scripture: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:6–7 (NIV) 💭 Reflection: Anxiety is often our mind’s attempt to control what only God can handle. As nurses, caregivers, leaders, and everyday believers, we carry man

✨ Devotional: “Stay Humble and Walk Together” Scripture:   “Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.” — Romans 12:16 (NIV) 💭 Reflection Over the years, I’ve learned that true leadership isn’t found in titles or positions — it’s found in the way we treat people. In nursing, I’ve stood beside both CEOs and CNAs, and I’ve seen that compassion doesn’t wear a badge. It flows from the heart of
