I started "21 Days to becoming a Proverbs 31 Woman," and the very first prompt caught my eye… “ Read Matthew 5:13-16 Here Jesus tells us to be salt and light. He tells us to stand out among men, not to blend in. Why do you think that is? Here is the full verse: Salt … Continue reading

C+RL Enthusiast: SZA Said It First I’ll be honest: when SZA dropped Ctrl, I thought she was talking to everyone but me. Because I’ve got it together. Color-coded planners, matching fonts, “just right” angles on my selfies… control is my comfort food. But the more I listened, the more I realized SZA wasn’t singing about … Continue reading
Why Building Unity Sometimes Means Dying to Yourself Let’s be real: unity sounds beautiful until you realize what it actually costs. We love the idea of community, teamwork, sisterhood, brotherhood, family—all of it. But when it’s time to build that unity, we hit a wall. Why?

Rambling… I think I’m too hard on myself. Like we’re supposed to hold ourselves to a higher regard but then there’s that bit of grace. Where you don’t have to be perfect, and you never will be. And that’s okay? And realizing I can’t control everything. I sure as hell can’t control other people… I can control myself. I can’t regulate my emotions and hold myself accountable. It’s okay to admit when you were wrong to admit you had your walls too high for the wrong people. It’s okay to let people in. It’s also scary. The people who know you the best are the ones you spend your time with. Partners. They see parts of you that other people don’t and never will. They become your mirror. If you don’t like what you see, then fix it. No one else is going to. No one is coming to save you. You have to start yourself.. start messy, start guessing.. but don’t be stagnant. If they see you aren’t moving then they can’t even meet you half way, and it’s not anyone’s job to meet you where you are. It’s a privilege to be loved by someone who sees beyond your faults and wants to work through them not drive over them like a pothole.. don’t miss out on the life of your dreams because you’re too comfortable in your own bullshit. And if that’s your decision to stay there, then don’t be so quick to invite people to sit with you.
“I asked God for strength, and God gave me difficulties to make me stronger. I asked for wisdom and God gave me problems to solve. I asked for courage,and God gave me dangers to overcome. I asked for love and God gave me troubled people to help… my prayers were answered.”
he's my answered prayer.
