Come to the Table
Years ago, I had a dream that I was seated at a huge table. The table was so huge that I couldn’t tell where the table began or where it ended. It was filled with a vast assortment of bread, meat, desserts, and vegetables. The selection was overwhelming and the supply was plenteous. Others wereContinue reading “Come to the Table”
God’s Amazing Grace
What comes to mind when you hear the word grace? What do you envision? How do you think it feels to receive grace? How do you think it feels to extend grace to others? Recently, these very thoughts flooded my mind. The word “grace” in biblical parlance can, like forgiveness, repentance, regeneration, and salvation, meanContinue reading “God’s Amazing Grace”
United We Stand, Divided We Fall
No greater truth has been told regarding the success of man than to understand that in unity we find our strength and in division, we find our defeat. Henry Ford is quoted as saying “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is a success.” Currently, our country is experiencing a time ofContinue reading “United We Stand, Divided We Fall”
True Love Waits
True love still waits even when we may fall,And when we fail to answer to His loving call. True love waits when we fall short time and time again,Or become gravely entangled in the bondage of our sins. True love waits in the dark of night while we are upon bended knee,He leans in everContinue reading “True Love Waits”

If We Only Had a Heart
If we only had a heart, We wouldn’t look on as the innocent die, Or turn a deaf ear as children torn from parent’s arms cry. If we only had a heart, We would see human and not race, We’d understand that because of Our Father everyone has a place. If we only had aContinue reading “If We Only Had a Heart”
Pack Light
During this pandemic, I have become emotionally exhausted. The unending stories of injustice, police brutality, ineffective government, and the lack of empathy, have been overwhelming. I never watch the news because we are fed bad news over and over again. It is very depressing. As a woman of color and a mother of 2 AfricanContinue reading “Pack Light”
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 shunsContinue reading “Elevate”
Silence Speaks
Silence speaks although we try to hide, What is deep within and festering down inside. Silence speaks when our pain is so deep and is real, And we’ve done all to cover what we really feel. Silence speaks in our rage and in our guilt, Then, peeks out its head from behind the walls we’veContinue reading “Silence Speaks”
