The weeks are becoming days until my book hits hands across the globe. Scary. I’m so fully excited and met with a bit of apprehension. I felt the same way with the release of my first album. Six painstaking, awe inspiring, months of creating what I knew eventually I would have to release into the […]
First night in Inauguration Land. I’m in my element. The normal folk. This evening, I’ll be in a ballgown, with the not-so-normal folk. That’s me. That’s what I do. And I’m grateful. Cruising the city streets on the night before the fringe, the hopeful and the resolutes descend upon our nation’s capitol leaves one with […]
Today marks the birthday of one of God’s greatest vessels for liberty in our nation. Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born for and with, an undeniable purpose: Liberty. A man after my own heart. I am a spiritual libertarian. Not a socio-political one. As a Christian, I believe we have free will and […]
I’ve been accused of being a GI Jane. I’ve come through a lot. I’ve learned to tread water, watch a spouse die a grueling death, fight to save my kid’s life more than once, been hated, rejected, abandoned, outnumbered, lied about, accused, broke, busted, disgusted, left for dead by a world system and enemy who […]
It’s that time of year, my weeding and pruning season. It’s something I do every year. I weed the garden of my relationship life and I prune the things that are obvious to me; those things, mindsets and strongholds that weigh me down. The rest, I leave up to God to perfect that which concerns […]
Today, I had the honor of auditing a class with my daughter aimed at re-certifying men and women in the protective services industry. One of the many things I’ve exposed her to for empowerment. Not as in we are girls, let’s burn our bras to prove how bad a** we are, but more like, we […]
How many love songs have the sentiment ‘I would do anything, travel anywhere etc… to be with you’? Well, Jesus did. He traveled across eternity to share a glimpse of time with us to carry us into his eternal heart. No one will ever love you like that. Not even your kids. When I allow […]
ACCORDING TO JESUS, Love Covers. What? A multitude of sins. One of my all time favorite verses (because I need it) and one I am reminded of when I go to expose someone else’s sin as if if the concept of falling short of the glory of a perfect God is foreign to me. Ha. […]
In my recent prayer time, I found myself confessing to my FATHER God, that I had in fact, been seeking blessing rather than Him. Selah. It then occurred to me that I may do this not because I’m some greedy, materialistically driven woman, but that I see him in my blessings. My blessings help my […]
This week, I featured two guests who told of overcoming poverty. I chimed in with bits and pieces of my own story and I wanted to go a little deeper with you guys. Tis the season to feel guilty for many parents
During some quiet time at the beach recently, I felt the Lord nudging my curiosity meter. I’m sure many of you can relate to ‘just getting through another day/week/month’ BUT Jesus didn’t say, “I’ve come that you may have life more mediocre”. Nope. He said MORE ABUNDANT. As thinking human beings,
