Elevate

In a world full of imposters,In a world full of fake.In a world that hates to love,And loves to hate. In a world that is thirsty,In a world overtly ridden with sin.In a world that approves an eye for an eye,And feels it’s ok to betray our next of kin. In a world that shunsContinueContinue reading “Elevate”

Rest for Your R.E.S.E.T.

As I think about R.E.S.E.T…REST has been heavily on my mind. I was exhausted at the beginning of the school year because I’m an educator. Preparing the classroom, professional developments, lesson planning, adjusting, and getting to know my students had me ready for at least one day off! LOL. I was looking forward to beingContinueContinue reading “Rest for Your R.E.S.E.T.”

Worthy

I haven’t always felt that I deserved the best of things. In a strange way, I felt it was being haughty or selfish to expect the best of everything. Life’s journey had whispered and told me I should just be grateful for what I did have. The truth is I wasn’t living my “best life”ContinueContinue reading “Worthy”

The Power of “No”

Rejection is part of life. I have definitely had my share of it. Whether it be familial, in friendships, and even from the outside world, it can either make or break you. Let’s face it…it’s effects are up to us. We can live a guarded life out of our fear of rejection or take stepsContinueContinue reading “The Power of “No””

A Pitier or A Praiser: Which One Are You?

Dirty Feet

“So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, and poured water into a basin. Then, he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him…After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “DoContinueContinue reading “Dirty Feet”

Bloom

What is a bird who can’t spread its wings and fly? Or a man who lies down in defeat and just wants to die. What becomes of an eagle that never gets to soar? Or what about a lion in the jungle who is afraid to roar? What sense does it make to be pregnantContinueContinue reading “Bloom”

Count Your Blessings, Not Your Lack

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Friday night, God checked me. He said something so clear to me that I needed to share the words. The words He whispered to my spirit came when I was miserably cold and wanting to complain. TheContinueContinue reading “Count Your Blessings, Not Your Lack”

Awakened

There once was a sister, Who found herself a mister. And you’d think she’d found a pot of gold. But some how she got it twisted, Or she just altogether missed it, Because she had to give up her soul. Unhealthy patterns started, And she left herself unguarded, Then, she became consumed by lies. DistantContinueContinue reading “Awakened”
