This morning as I prepared for church, I saw an ad about the 1994 Olympics where the gymnast, no matter how good she was, was denied First place. I immediately thought, "that was 30 years ago. Not that long ago when you really think about it..." I get to church and my Pastor is starting … Continue reading 30 years ago…

Peace – Repost
A few months ago, I sent this message to my friends: "I am officially on VACATION from stress (anything that's contrary to God's will, purpose and plan for my life), worry (about my current and future job outlook) and doubt (will I really have what God says I can have?)". I truly meant that statement … Continue reading Peace – Repost
Reflect Jesus in more than just your actions
Reflect Jesus in your listening as well. I wore my Reflect Jesus shirt this particular Sunday. After church, I had errands to run; one of which was a return/exchange, to the Dollar Tree. When I pulled up on their lot, Holy Spirit spoke and said "she's not going to do the return". I went in … Continue reading Reflect Jesus in more than just your actions
A Different World – Repost
Do you remember the series from back in the day with the above title? Well, I do and I'm enjoying watching it on Bounce TV. The part about this show that is capturing my attention now is the fact that Whitley Gilbert and Dwayne Wayne graduated and got married. From the beginning of the show, … Continue reading A Different World – Repost
All About Love – bell hooks
So, I did a thing today. I told the truth. Even though I knew it may hurt the persons feelings, or not be received at all.

Who told You you were ______? Repost

I began to wonder about the things in my own life that people have told me that I've come to believe; and how I've allowed those things to affect my life. Just because … Continue reading Who told You you were ______? Repost
Table Decor
I turned my pain into table decor. Went to my coworkers Support group where we had a Registered Art Therapist from UAB's Art in Medicine (AIM) walk us through representing our pain using clay. My pain was represented using brown and red clay. The red clay represents the rage from the hurts and pains l've … Continue reading Table Decor
Happy Valentine’s Day – Repost
For those of you who have that special someone to spend the day with, please don't take it lightly. It almost reminds me of Christmas. How so many take that one day to shower the people in their lives with gifts when they should be generous all year long. For some, this day may be … Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day – Repost
Trust the Lord always… Isaiah 26:4
I didn't know how divinely orchestrated this particular meeting was until after I started writing this post. I was at the post office preparing to mail off a gift that l'd purchased ten years ago for a friend. At the time that I purchased the gift, I couldn't even afford to mail it. As time … Continue reading Trust the Lord always… Isaiah 26:4
Waiting for the snow! – Repost
As I sit at home prepared for the forecasted snow that will hit our area today, I wonder what other areas of my life that I'm prepared for but have yet to see the manifestation. Sure, I've got my bread, eggs and canned goods. I've also got a movie cued up and ready for me … Continue reading Waiting for the snow! – Repost
