OVER-Thinking
If I doubt your credibility, I can’t take your criticism. 😕 Credibility matters to me more than your experience. Your experience could have been bad, could have been fruitless, could have been without learning or wisdom. Lots of people have experiences; not so many have the fruit that remains.🤨 This is an area of struggle […]

Repentance
We all slip up and hurt folks. It’s just the way of humanity. BUT. Too many “mature Christians” use the Holy Spirit to justify not going to their brother/sister and making things right, talmbout they got to “pray and ask God if they should apologize.” Whatchu MEAN “if”? Jesus said to LEAVE YOUR GIFT AT […]

You gotta learn your own triggers
Lesson learned: the devil has studied you your entire life and your parents before that, so he knows your triggers–the exact things that will get you off track and out of God’s word, that will make you sad, angry, hurt, afraid, and depressed. The things that will stop you in your tracks and have you […]

The ultimate dentist: a modern day parable
The ultimate dentist: a modern day parable After years of not having dental insurance or having it but not having the copay or having both but also having a myriad of excuses that canceled out me having what I needed… sigh. I FINALLY went to the dentist, who promptly told me that I needed 11 […]

My thoughts on Roe v. Wade
There is a difference in believing in Jesus Christ and following Christianity as it is presented as a religion. Those of us who follow Christ? We don’t live any kind of way. I can say that without shame. How can I? I remember who I was, and how I still am. That God loves you […]

A Leadership Lesson
confession: I get irritated with folks whose passions burn bright but whose discipline burns quick. (You’ll catch that later). Leadership isn’t about momentary inspiration, bursts of excitement, mountaintop validation, and flashes of ideas. It is not how much people clap, like your posts, call your name, or smile in your face. Leadership means dedication. What […]

The Ride or Die Who Put It in PARK
confession: I used to proudly call myself a “ride or die” chick. Nobody told me that the “die” could mean emotional destruction, physical harm, or spiritual agony. Now that I’m older, I have questions. Like: Why I gotta choose one? Why I can’t just ride? And where might we be going that may involve me […]

Wednesday Morning Mind Wanderings
Wisdom: What you want ain’t always what you need. Sometimes, what you want is encouragement when what you really need is healing. You need release instead of just relief. You need conviction rather than comfort. Sometimes, you need to be delivered from your own self. Unhealed wounds, family curses (patterns of behavior), soul ties (cuz […]

Wisdom for Your Weekend: GREAT COMMUNICATORS LISTEN
If you want to be an effective communicator? Listen. If you want to be an effective listener? De-center. Everything someone else says runs through the gauntlet of your personal hangups, flaws, feelings, emotions, mindsets, belief systems, and general outlooks. People who listen well know this and not only monitor how they receive input BUT ALSO […]
