Obedience: Consequence of Listening to God’s Voice
Sis, Sunday was a big day for us. We (JR and I) officially joined a church. God has been calling to go back to my home church for over a week. I had reasons why I didn’t want to go back, but most of them were selfish and illogical. Yes, I still have some growing…

1 Samuel 2:1-10 “And Hannah prayed, and said,My heart rejoiceth in the LORD,mine horn is exalted in the LORD:my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies;because I rejoice in thy salvation.There is none holy as the LORD:for there is none beside thee:neither is there any rock like our God.Talk no more so exceeding proudly;let not arrogancy…

Faith Over Fear
Prayer: Have Your way, Lord. My mind and heart have been so full of fear. I understand now that You can not dwell in the same space as unbelief. I know now that when I feel fear, I will trust in You. Fear. Girl, I had to take a deep breath after typing that word.…

My biggest fear is of her getting hurt (falls, scratches, breaks, and scars). The other day, I thought my fear had become a reality. The only things…

Intentional Living
At 4:30 this morning, I was up. No rhyme or reason, just up. So I decided to do something I hadn’t done in a long time, yoga. Yes, girl, I was up before the sun, stretching in ways my postpartum body was not accustomed to. The best thing, my daughter didn’t wake up in the…

Looking for Beauty in These Ashes
Here is my story… In late August of 2021, my father passed away during Hurricane Ida. No one knew it happened, and he was alone in his apartment until strangers found him. All I can say is that I was heartbroken to learn he passed this way. In fact, I blamed myself for weeks for…

Beauty in the Eyes of the Beholder
My definition of beauty, along with my standards, has changed since becoming a mom. I went from dresses and jeans to sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt.
