Let me tell you, my 2017 was HARD! But you know what? It’s okay. I’m not running from it. A young lady in the store said to me, “I can’t wait for the year to be over!” Is that your sentiment too? Y’all, 2017 ain’t over yet. If your year was hard, I want you to […]
You ever have God do a 1-2 on you? I’m talking about a time you walked into something expecting one thing, to have Him completely turn it around and do another? This happened to me when I picked up a copy of The Dream of You by author, speaker and leader Jo Saxton. I went […]
“You know my name. You know my name. You know my name. And oh how you tell me that I am your own. “ ~Tasha Cobbs Leonard This refrain played over and over and over in my head. I recently attended a prayer brunch hosted by Sha’Meca Oliver of Pneuma Breathe Ministries and while […]

Eat. Drink. Snack. Repeat. We are consumption machines. And our consumption isn’t merely limited to food. Relationships, media, nearly anything can be used to whet out appetites. But what do you hunger and thirst for? While it is comforting to find fulfillment in people and things, divulging in those things alone still […]

Mama holding her baby while trying to get her teeth cleaned at the dentist. 2 little ones in the room while mamas trying to get a pelvic exam. Breaking up a sibling squabble right in the middle of your morning devotions. Yes, the struggle for self-care is real! But it is critically necessary. […]
