You Do Not Have To Carry It

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7 I received a revelation recently, that whatever is supposed to go with you on the journey that God has created, he will make sure it gets there; there is no need to carry it “to make sure” it gets there.Continue reading “You Do Not Have To Carry It”

The Beauty in Death

I recently lost a dear friend of mine. Honestly, I struggled with what hurt most, knowing he was gone or the way I found out. Before his death, we were in an awkward space, navigating our relationship. After talking to him briefly throughout January of 2022, I texted him on January 29, 2022, checking onContinue reading “The Beauty in Death”

Discerning The Counterfeit

My dating life use to feel like an abstract painting, filled with random lines and colors, then left to interpretation. Recently, I learned that my dating life is a masterpiece drawn by God, filled with His vision and intentionality. An abstract painting has no intention or vision in-mind, but masterpieces, are thought out–perfected. For theContinue reading “Discerning The Counterfeit”

Faith While Waiting

We hear so many references about faith, like “faith without works is dead,” and we also hear many references pertaining to waiting or patience. But why does it seem like the two are rarely used simultaneously? When I think of faith, I think of it in conjunction with an action. I need to have enoughContinue reading “Faith While Waiting”

I Am Not My Job

For the first time in my life I felt accepted. Not accepted because of “forced” or close proximity, but because of who I am. If you told me that this acceptance would come through co-workers at a part-time retail job I was too ashamed to have as a college graduate, I would not believe you.Continue reading “I Am Not My Job”

The Watering From the Rain

“When it rains it pours……”- Tupac. The realness of this lyric has been resonating with me now more than ever. It seems like the more I ascend in life the more I feel like I am drowning, that the rain comes more than the sun. Have you ever desired the easier path in life? TheContinue reading “The Watering From the Rain”

Pain and I

It is funny how our relationship with pain, grows and evolves, as anything else does. As we grow older, wiser, experience more—not more pain necessarily; our possibly once toxic relationship with pain, can become cordial, healthy, and functional. Pain and I are not friends, but she is not my enemy either. If we look upContinue reading “Pain and I”

Be Willing, Not Ready

I remember God telling me this after I told him I was not ready to do something. Maybe it was the move to N.C, I am not quite sure, but his response to me was “You do not have to be ready to do something, just willing.” The fullness of God’s answer is breathtaking. IContinue reading “Be Willing, Not Ready”

Choosing You

Choosing you—a concept I have not yet fully mastered, a belief system that God has led me to, and a lifestyle I am actively trying to live out. I never thought I was worthy of choosing myself. Choosing you was a foreign concept, an intruder into my world. I remember in third grade; I finallyContinue reading “Choosing You”

Rejection Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

While applying to grad school, I felt incredibly insecure. The mixing pot of applying to a “ prestigious” school, also deciding to uphold the promise I made myself of getting all of my graduate level degrees from HBCU’s, the thought of entering into a new environment, the public speaking that will have to be doneContinue reading “Rejection Is In The Eye Of The Beholder”

A Now Happy

Ironically the revelation of having “a now happy” came about this time last year. I believe I had my fair share of ice cream over a “beau” I was interested in. Nevertheless, God gave me the revelation of having “a now happy” because I was in a place of constantly thinking of “next.” Whether itContinue reading “A Now Happy”
