Being myself in the Lord
My Memories preaching to me TUH DAY. 😭👌🏾 August 6, 2017 TestimonyforToday: have you ever seen someone else and wished for some aspect of their personality? I have. My husband always points out all the women of God who are what he calls “sweetly saved”. And they ARE sincerely sweet. Give you the warm and […]

There can only be one “ME”
confession: The hardest lesson that I’ve ever had to walk out was that I could never—SHOULD NEVER expect anybody else to be “like” me. Lemme explain. I have been hurt over and over again because I expected people to think the way I think, love the way that I love. I move without guile yet […]

The Messiness of Motherhood
Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed. Nishan Darwar When they say “parenting doesn’t come with an instruction manual,” that’s such an understatement. At least it was for me! Even with the unsolicited but absolutely necessary and exceedingly appreciated advice from my […]

Boundaries
I almost forgot! I’d actually meant to “press” someone else’s work and forgot that I never actually did it; I had saved it, thinking I’d scheduled it instead. What I had meant to do was leave a little blurb on their original post before I shared it because to do otherwise seems rude to me, […]

The Pressure to Perform
I don’t know when it happened or how but… I found myself stuck like chuck a few months ago. Like, on complete and utter pause trying to figure out why I was so miserable, so tapped out. I wanted to tear my hair out! But the Lord is nothing if not merciful and kind, so […]

April is Poetry Month
That’s it. That’s the post. 😂 Seriously though. I began to write poems before I learned to write anything else. I penned my very first poem in 1st grade, and gave it to my friend. It was an acrostic of her name Neisha (a white chick, would you believe it?) in couplet form. I don’t […]

I Choose to PRESS
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14 KJV Full disclosure: it’s just me, myself, […]

Being Strengthened, Settled, and Established the Lord’s Way
Confession: I have been blowing in the wind for a long time without real anchor in community, church, or family–some of it circumstances beyond my control and some if it me not valuing myself enough to make a stand for what I need. So I anchored myself to people–which is worse than being not anchored […]

The Parable of the Fried Rice (or, Happy 314 Day!)
Confession: I had never had fried rice until I moved to Saint Louis. Mississippi folks are decidedly leery of “foreign food”—which is basically anything Big Mama didn’t cook! Now that I have been here (on and off) for the better part of 2 decades, I smash Beef Fried Rice with a Vess every two weeks […]

I Ate the Weight Instead of Casting the Care
Confession: I have carried a lot of weight on me because I have had to carry the weight of my testimony by myself. I have found out the hard way that not everybody (especially the so called SAVED FOLKS) can handle your story. So I ate it. Now, some people drink it, smoke it, drug […]
