The Cheese Stands Alone
When I was little, I used to sing this nursery rhyme called “The farmer in the dell”. In the song, everything gets taken by the thing that came before it…until you get to the end. At the end, we sang: “The cheese stands alone.” The mouse took the cheese, but there’s nothing for the cheese…

Love never fails. That’s it. That’s the prophetic word for the day.
Man. Y’all tired of reading yet? I have never been one to sit around and tell folks what the Lord SAID; the Lord don’t talk to me like Hw be talking to some of y’all. 🤷🏾♀️ I’m still working on the obedience part, still working on being slow to speak, still working on not by…

Tis the season for FORGIVENESS
God has had me in a season of #forgiveness. I have been reliving some very ugly experiences—things that people who “love” me said and did without apologies or even remorse (like they believe they are right to this day), how I ended up where I ended up so far from home and dreams, the shame…

Bored things… AI on Christmas Eve
Sitting at my mom and dad’s house, my childhood home and waiting for the anti-climatic chaos of Christmas. My brother and his wife just welcomed a new baby into their sphere about two weeks ago so he’s not coming home; we will be going to visit them. I’m fully embedded in this reclining chair, electric…

I just remember the phrase catching my eye. It was one I’d never heard or read before, and it resonated deep in my chest. I had to…

God IS: A meditation on immutability and holiness
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 So. I am reading a bible plan on my bible app that focuses on Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish New Year. The reason I started reading it was because it is titled “A Call to Repentance”. I am enjoying learning from it because it…

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…

God’s Love is for YOU: a reminder
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV For years, I isolated and separated myself from people who loved me because I thought that I wasn’t good enough, that I didn’t measure up, and that…

Self Love
A theme I’ve been contemplating—or rather one that has arrested me—is the notion of self. How we conflate our self with our flesh…to concepts quite related yet very much different. The soul has an option, to do what it wills to do and follow the flesh; or, to do as God wills it to do…
