How Much IN Christ ARE You Really? A Marriage Moment
If you are married and are considering divorce, I encourage you to think differently about what’s happening. I had plenty of times that I wanted to leave my husband. Many “valid” reasons by logical standards; and so did he cuz people gone people, and incompatibility happens at various times and seasons in your lives together.…

Joyous Kwanzaa, Day 2: Kujichagulia
A critical missing piece of my personal puzzle has been understanding and accepting without fear and uncertainty “who I am”. And not only “who I am” but am I being all that I have been created, called, and purposed to be? The excessively outward living that we have always done in this nation—white-ward, heavenward, money-ward,…

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…

Values and Beliefs and Feelings and Thoughts and Words and Behaviors: The essence of alignment

The first time I read the phrase embrace the suck, I was actually reading an article about…parenting? War? Marriage? Work? Being black in America? I don’t even remember. 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…

Acting with Integrity, an act of obedience
Walking in Integrity: A change in real time I am uncomfortably honest these days. My mother constantly says to me, “Stop telling so much of your business on Facebook.” I am always puzzled, because I rarely share the ways in which I share here; those posts are vague and God-laden. These posts are detail rich…

Learning to Lead While I Follow
All my life I have been a process person who taught processes to people because I can make any process make sense to any person willing to engage in a process (note I said ENGAGE—can’t make anybody do anything, your kids at school included). It is what has made me effective as an educator. Not…

Deliverance is in the Word
Deliverance is in the Word, and I want you to know (whoever you are) that while you’re down, there are times when you’re wrestling demonic spirits that have made a home around your issue. This is called a stronghold. In worldly terms… In psychology, There is intelligence quotient (IQ), adaptability quotient (AQ), and Emotional Quotient…

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…
