Here’s what I’ve learned in the first week of this year… I've had to rebuke 3 people so far during the past 7 days. Both the numbers 3 and 7 represent completeness and wholeness, so I fully embrace these changes that I’ve prayed for, and desired for so long. Fortunately for me, in each situation, [...]
There’s no conspiracy theory behind why I choose to serve God. For me, it’s simple. The inheritance of knowing God was passed down to me as a child, but as I grew older, I tried everything else I could get my hands on to see if something that required less discipline but was more “temporarily” [...]
I pray that in sharing this, I and someone else are healed because I do believe that there is power in our unity. My son was born on the same day as Trayvon Martin. My unspeakable joy was met with heartache as I remembered the pictures of Trayvon as a baby and even still as [...]
I didn’t realize how much brokenness there was around the idea of family, until I became apart of my own. This notion that vowing to love one person for the rest of your life and procreating with them means you have to give up or lose yourself is the furthest thing from the truth. I [...]
Feeling hurt or betrayed? You don't have to any longer. Because the truth is that there is a friend who will never leave you or forsake you!
Been feeling alone? Let’s pray!
Heavenly Father, Thank you for allowing us to experience a portion of Your magnificence through Your creation. You allow us to live, love and recreate, in spite of our selfishness, hatred and mistakes. No matter how long it’s taken mankind to get it right, Your faithfulness and long-suffering teach us the true meaning of unconditional [...]
My prayer for the world in our desperate time of need.
Y'all doing alright out there?... Lifting that face, weights, butt and breasts won’t keep him or your sanity sis. But lifting your hands in prayer, and that old, dusty Bible off the shelf will. Instead of lifting that glass of wine, lift your eyes up to the heavens and allow The creator to lift your [...]
So, in other words, division... This is such a racially, politically, socio-economically, ethically, divided time. Every where you turn there are debates between Christian and Muslim, atheists, gays, blacks, whites, rich, poor, and where has that gotten us?
A prayer for healing & unity amongst women.
There truly aren't words deep and/or accurate enough to describe the evolution that your body, mind, soul and spirit rapidly goes through the moment you discover that you are carrying life. When you are mature enough to fully embrace the magnitude of what is taking place, you never want to eat, drink, think, see, speak, [...]
Family There's just something magically painful about a family. There's endless sacrifice for a group of people whom you chose, loved, created, that is strong enough to make you want to kill them and anybody who tries to harm them. It's like a beautiful nightmare. You naively yet optimistically sign up for almost a lifetime [...]
