When was the last time you “freaked out” over something that wasn’t that “big of a deal?” Have you heard of India Arie’s song, “I Am Not My Hair?” Lyrics are posted below, but some days I agree with the moral of the song and sometimes I don’t. I’m not going to lie, when my hair is done and neat, […]
“Love is Patient, But Are You?”
What does “wait” mean to you? What do you find yourself doing while you “wait”? Over the past few days the word “patience” and the demand “be patient” have been prevalent in my life. I would see posts about being patient on Instagram. My heart would think about Bible verses on patience. And the whole time I’m wondering what this […]
“Set the Scene”
Are you lining things up to set the scene for the life you want to live? I’m sure many of you have heard the phrase “set the scene” before. We may have heard it in regard to a play or movie. We might have asked our girlfriend or bestie to set the scene for the tea they’re about to spill. […]
“Dream Courageously!”
How would you define your leadership style? Once a week, my church meets virtually for Bible study. Typically, in Bible study you would read and study a scripture or a sermon. But sometimes my church reads through a book selection and we discuss it during Bible study. We are currently reading “Navigating The Journey: Lessons for Longevity in Ministry” written […]
“Simple Pleasures”
What are some of your “simple” life’s pleasures? It’s Saturday morning, 8:50am. My body woke up at 7:51am this morning. My alarm was set for 9:35am. That was a “just in case” alarm. I went to bed around midnight last night. I typically do not sleep in past 8am most days. I set that alarm because that’s the latest I […]
“Slaying Empathy”
Would you define yourself as an empathetic person? “Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.” As a public defender, we stress the importance of empathy. A good lawyer and advocate would be empathetic to what their client is dealing with so that they can put forth the best defense. See the client as a human, not […]
“The Dynamic Duo”
What quality have you’ve been trying to strengthen in yourself lately? It’s 2024. It’s a new year. It’s a new month. It’s a new week. And it’s a new day. I’m off social media right now. It’s one of the things I chose to do as I entered into this new year. I originally had a list of “resolutions” jotted […]
“5 Things Every Healthy Friendship Needs”
Have you ever received counseling from a friendship coach? I am 33 years old. I have many lifelong friends and many people who I was once super close with but now not so much. I have had friendships that have taught me a lot about myself. I have had friendships that required me to teach my friends some things. I […]
“Fly Part 2 – Ephesians 3:20”
If money and time weren’t a factor, what’s one thing you would do? Hey hey hey! It’s meee! 🙂 I know, I know, it’s been MONTHS since I’ve written something. It’s been months since you’ve received a notification about a new blog post. Unsure how many of you are upset about the fact I haven’t published a new post in […]
“Fly Part 1 – Isaiah 40:31”
What are some examples of good character? One thing about my family is, we know how to soar! Whatever it is we want to achieve in life, whether it be a long-term life goal or just one of life’s daily tasks, we put our all into it and we never fail. Even if we don’t achieve that thing the first […]
