Lesson on Leadership: Vision-casting Matters
When a leader says “None of” or “nobody” wants to follow their vision? That’s a red flag for me. What are you asking them to follow? Is the vision written and plain so folks can run or are you just flying by the seat of your pants, lying on the Holy Ghost? Are the steps […]

The DIVINE WIND of God, The Holy Spirit
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Ephesians 2:2 KJV I WONDER sometimes… this prolly why folks don’t fool with me. My thoughts are quite uncomfortable, even as I […]

Always Stay Gracious: The Best Revenge? It’s Your Savior.
I’m writing you from a position of perfecting. See, I’m in process, being stripped down to my bearings like a rusty bicycle. Rust lingers and builds up on itself—even after you’ve taken a metal like iron or basic steel out of the elements, the rust doesn’t magically disappear. It has to be CLEANED OFF. And […]

Classic
A celebration of blackness, womanhood. And the intersection thereof. The word of God states that we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:4). More than just physical appearance, too, because only people focus on the outward, God has placed inside you a beautiful light. Once hidden and marred in the darkness of sin nature, it […]

He Keeps On Doing Great Things for Me
Triolet– A/B/a/A/a/B/A/B rhyming pattern. Poets.org, https://poets.org/glossary/triolet So I took the #Triolet Challenge as set forth by the blog “We Drink Because We’re Poets” (now defunct, I believe) on August 5, 2013. It is an interesting structure that lends itself to iambic tetrameter–at least for me. It felt natural; though I have always told myself that […]

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 […]

A Million Little Miracles
#confession: I used to want to desperately experience miracles and signs and wonders like the old church. It was an entire obsession. I would scour YouTube to watch miraculous healings and people passing out under the “presence.” I would literally pray, “WHY CAN’T THIS BE ME!” And then. The Lord baptized me with the Holy […]

Lukewarm is NOT a LEWK
I learned a new word today-ANODYNE. Something is anodyne when it is deliberately inoffensive. Like “anodyne” classic rock music. I have to say, most Christians have adopted a very anodyne spirituality. We don’t want to offend anybody with our God. We want everyone to just get along. We serve others sugar water gospel because we […]
