Chosen 4 Destiny

Hey Guys! Can you believe our time of daily posting is drawing to a close? I’m a little sad, but overall I am extremely grateful for this experience and will most likely participate again next year. But as I sit reflecting today, I am amazed at the goodness of God and his faithfulness along this journey. It has been hard ya’ll, I can’t lie. It takes a lot to find something new to share everyday…

Hey Ya’ll! So let me tell you how trifling ya girl is…I didn’t show up for 2 whole days. And let me tell you, I feel really crappy about it. But truth be told, I really felt like I had nothing to say. Now that could have been a number of things. It could have been I had so much to say I didn’t know where to start. it could have also been that I was at a loss of words for everything I’m seeing…

Hey ya’ll!!! Can you believe that is day 24 of #BlogLikeCrazy! I really can’t believe I’ve been writing everyday for 24 days. That’s really a feat and really a little difficult.

Today was probably the hardest day ever to actually make a post. I’ve had a ball with family today. I’ve really tried my best to actually rest, I have not felt my best today, but it was important to me to show up. I…

Gratitude Makes You Better

Happy Thanksgiving Ya’ll!!! I am so tired, as I sit down to write this post. Like so tired to the point that I seriously contemplated skipping today. However, I just couldn’t not show up. I’ve been here for 22 days and I refused to let a little bit of tiredness stop. Today has been a long day, but I am grateful for every tired bone in my body and every bit of it! 

Now it is extremely tempting…

Hey ya’ll! I hope everyone is having an amazing day! I could not think of what to post today. But I finally decided to share an old post. Though this was geared toward a specific event, I believe it is very apropos for things that are happening in these times.

I’m not quite sure what to name this piece. I was asked to write this post in light of the recent events with the young ladies…

Hello, ​My Name Is…

Is there a discrepancy between the names by which Jesus calls you and the names you give yourself? Are there circumstances in your life to which you are giving undue power, power that rightfully—and in reality!—belongs to our sovereign God alone? Sister, who names you today—your God or your circumstances? 

These are questions that every believer have to ask themselves. You have to determine…

  Nothing too heavy today. I want to pulse check and see how everyone was fairing with their self reflection. Are we still reflecting? What have you learned? What are you still learning? What did you see in yourself? 

I definitely wanted to take some time and share with you something I realized in my reflection time. If there is one thing I lack, it is balance. i tend to give myself to a…

Hey ya’ll, so here we go day 17 of #BlogLikeCrazy!!!! Can you believe it? For 17 days we have been showing up and dialoging our way through a number of situations. Hats off to you! I’m so glad you’re here!

Anywho, this weekend, it seems we creeped into a miniseries on journaling! I must say, I didn’t see it coming, but it has indeed been a blast! Today, I’m going to share with you guys one of my…

Record Your Spiritual Journey

Hey ya’ll! So I’m back for day 17 of #BlogLikeCrazy! Can ya’ll believe it? We are over half way through the month of November. Like we are just days away from the end of 2018. Where has this year gone?

Yesterday we jumped off a little miniseries on journaling. If you missed it pause and check it out here. Ok, all caught up? Great! To recap from there, I chose the journal prompt, “How was your…

Now Write it Out…

Hey Ya’ll (Again)! So it’s Day 16 of #BlogLikeCrazy! Ya’ll it’s been a long and crazy week! Life has been B.U.S.Y.!!! But all’s well that ends well!

So as I promised this morning, I’m back with a word or two about journaling! I don’t want to make this a long drawn out post. I just want to give a few high points and provide a few resources, ok?

As many of you may know, I am a HUGE proponent of…

A Moment of Self-Reflection

Hey ya’ll! So I have to be honest. When my eyes popped open this morning, I felt really bad! I realized I hadn’t published anything for #BlogLikeCrazy challenge. I IMMEDIATELY wanted to get into my feelings. But then I thought about it…THERE’S no reason to feel guilty! I immediately had to remind myself, even though I really wanted to make sure there was something posted for each day, the world…

Mark 5:24-34 (NASB)

24 And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him. 25 A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, 26 and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse— 27 after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak. 28…

Hey Ya’ll! Can you believe it? We are 13 days into #BlogLikeCrazy and we’re all still here! Seriously though, this has been a trying journey at times to get thoughts down and get a post published, but I want to be a woman of my word. I promised to show up and that’s exactly what I intend on doing! So today’s post is a fun one for me!

If you know me in my offline life. You know there are 2 things…

Not Your Average Girl

This year, I really want to work on writing more. I absolutely love writing and I think I’m a better me when I write. I wrote this after a really bad day several years ago and some quiet reflection time. Just take some time to read through and think about it, it’s just as true of you as it is of me!

I’m not your average girl. I am so much more than what you see. I am more than two legs and a…

Will We Ever Learn?

So I’m not going to lie, I avoided writing today’s specific post like it was the plague. I did not want to address what I feel is an elephant in the room. But the truth of the matter is I can’t hide from life. So today, I want to talk about the Thousand Oaks tragedy and other recent mass shootings. 

First let me say, my absolute and deepest sympathies for all of the families that are suffering…

John 9 is a very familiar passage to me and probably anyone who has studied the life and miracles of Jesus. I have read it many times before, but let’s just say this morning I read it with fresh eyes. Just to give you an idea, this is the time when Jesus heals the blind man by making mud and sending him to wash in the pool. But that’s not really what I want to talk about.

Let’s take a look at…

He’s Waiting…

I have recently been looking over the story of the Prodigal Son. I personally think this is one of the coolest passages in the bible. I don’t want to cover the entire thing, just some points that have stuck out to me at this point in my life. Let’s take a look at Luke 15:20,

“So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with…
