A Few Bad Apples
As I reflect on the last four years of my life in my current home, my biggest observation is how much I focused on trying to redeem myself to the few who didn’t have the capacity to support or love me while they had full access to me. It’s a hard truth to come to:…

Help!!! I’m young and saved
Did you grow up in church? Remember the socks with ruffles and the dresses with itchy slips? Lol what a time man…. Idk at what point it went from feeling proud and pretty to feeling insecure about what I pulled out for church because of how others may perceive me… We think church hurt stems…

Just a Moment
Can I keep it a buck with you? I’ve been having a lot of “disgusted” moments lately. I look back at how I allowed the voices of others to trump my own or God’s, and I’m disgusted. I look at how I didn’t close the door fast enough on dead situations, and I’m disgusted. I…

Lose Control
Is it even possible?

There is optimism and then there’s delusion. There’s one chip and then there’s whole bag. Lol Lord help your people!…

A Place of Rest
I have a confession. 😰 I’ve been more busy than productive these past few days. So focused on getting to a place that I stopped checking with myself. I bulldozed my way through self reflection moments, planning steps, and just evaluation of things trying to get to the place I see in my mind. You…

We are Kingdom
March 13, 2020, the United States of America received her first State of the Union address concerning COVID-19. A virus that has shook our country to her core, COVID-19 appears to be unstoppable. How does that sit with you? We, as a nation, are in the middle of a tunnel that keeps extending. How do…

Bring Me Jesus
What is faith to you? Is it believing for unicorns in the middle of a cow field? Believing for a cure to COVID-19 in the middle of this pandemic? Is faith saying that you can make that one roll of toilet paper stretch until all blows over? I’m not here to judge you, but rather…

Truth is…
Now you know what 😕 I’ve been trying my best these last two weeks to be so professional and in order with the schedule I laid out and the deadlines I gave myself and the graphic designs and the dates and topics for this and that and blah blah blah…. that I almost forgot that…
