  “give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Luke‬ ‭6:38‬ ‭KJV‬‬ A friend of mine made a post on Facebook that incorporated this […]

• You Need Grace and Mercy, too

  

  I write this one as I sit stewing in a pot of disappointment and unmet expectation. I talk a good game and with the help of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I walk a decent one despite this henh flesh but sometimes…sometimes the “real slim shady” stands up and clowns. The flesh wrestles me […]

• A Quick Word Regarding Intimacy

  

  confession: I prefer intimacy above all things. Just the other day, my children hit me with loads of intimate questions and conversation that made me remember why having kids is a delight. It was a nail biter of a talk; as a parent, I really had to recenter myself into the moment and be grateful […]

• You SHOULD shoot the messenger

  

  Try the Spirit by the Spirit Unpopular opinion: The source of information matters as much as the information itself. People’s Motives and The system of operation matter in what we are ingesting or digesting as it relates to the word of God. It matters if your revelation comes from God or from the 2nd heavens. […]

• You got me going in circles

  

  Last night, I finally dreamed again–not the regular dreams that people get that we usually don’t remember. No, I saw a dream from God. And this is the part where you leave if you don’t believe in God. Or don’t. Cuz maybe you need to believe in God. Anyway. When I was little, it happened […]

• Guard Your Heart

  

  I am sensitive to the changes in other people’s souls. When others are emotionally off kilter, it weighs me down and I retreat into myself where I am safe—especially around people who live outwardly, who don’t process their feelings but just try to dump their struggles on you and the nearest targets, making their emotional […]

• Hold Onto Yourself, Honey

  

  Some days it is harder than others. The loneliness and regret overwhelm you with their weightiness, locking you into sadness so complete that you conjure story lines of sandy beaches and distant locales to steel yourself. To keep from losing it completely. You burrow down deep into your secret self, mantras meaningless and tears abundant […]

• Make the Choice So God can Make the Change

  

  I’m always thinking. And a thought that has never left me is this: People operate in their trauma because it is comfortable and comforting. The spirit of fear casts healing as the unknown; and since natural human proclivity is to know, we fear what might be lost on the other side of healing. So when […]
