Invite God Over For Tea or Coffee 🕊💜🙏🏾

 


Beautiful Sunday morning! ☀️ I hope you make time to pray today— I mean really pray —-seek quiet time and sit with God this morning-don’t rush past Him like He’s a transient passerby, but stop and welcome Him in for tea, coffee—and sit & talk with Him. See Him— because He’s everywhere— Listen to Him because He speaks to your innermost parts. Take time this morning to —pray—praise, and position yourself in preparation for the new week ahead.


Have a wonderful day!☀️💜🙏🏾🕊

Highs, Lows, & Plateaus…

     BEFORE you read (if you read) any further, I want to draw your attention to the pictures… these very different pictures are the same exact tree….      One of the heaviest burdens  and stresses we carry is trying to keep up appearances for the acceptance and approval of other people—that’s oftentimes detrimental to emotional wellbeing.      “Enjoy the highs, Learn from the lows, remain Steady during the plateaus…I was reminded of this quote by Sam Chan from a recent sermon. And though, I have a pipeline of posts that I planned to share throughout the month of May, in honor of #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth—today, I thought to share a current moment.         I took a walk this morning … in the rain. And only those that are in my inner most circle likely know that I had an aversion to rain for many years, and dreaded having to go out into it… so much so that as a high schooler, my dad noticed my hesitation to leave for...

What Was Once Before Shall Be Again…

  W hile navigating the many vicissitudes of womanhood… I often think of my mom and her sisters… and their mom (granny). My mother was born in February 1922–and in January 1922–“The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, the first of its kind, passes the U.S. House of Representatives in part due to the efforts of the NAACP.” She birthed me in 1964 when Dr. King was leading the cause for Civil Rights. Just a bit of trivia… In December’64 the month/year of my birth—“he made a stop in London for three days to preach at St. Paul's Cathedral and meet with leaders of the peace community.”       B ut prior to—and therein my mother—her mother—her sisters were Black women in an era when mostly all the freedoms, access and privileges that we enjoy(ed) today was denied them. But they somehow could see a brighter future—from where they began—and forge ahead with that hope. Religion, and hope going hand-in-hand in most instances—similarly today—and some pretty courageous leaders at the helm of...

Live Your Life🌹

Live your life. Properly occupy your space and do in it what you are purposed to do excellently. Join forces with other people, places, and purposes for the good of mankind. Live your life. Love who you love. Love even those who don’t necessarily love you. Love when it’s hard to do— that’s what real love should do. Live your life. Leave a meaningful legacy behind. Give something away, money, food, a new outfit—something unused. Nothing you gain materially can go with you when you go, that’s a reality. But what you do for others will outlive your mortality. Live your life. Laugh hard. Play hard. Have fun. Do something you haven’t done since you were a child. Ride a bike, play jacks, jump rope.  Live your life. Honor the God you serve. Respect the boundaries He has set — not for Him, but it’s you He wants to protect.  Live your life. Take a trip. Read a good book. Treat yourself to a fine dining experience— even if it’s just you. See life outside of yourself, because there so mu...
