Letting go

This is probably the hardest post I've ever written...when you don't want to accept reality, it's sure as heck hard to write about your own.... This week, my daughter got accepted into preschool. My baby. My rider. My mini me. My tot, I cannot believe it! I've dreamed about what preschool would be like. I…

Look again

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.                           Isaiah 43:18-19…

What your life says about u

"Those who believe in the son of God have the testimony of God in them." 1 John 5:10 What does my life say about me? I've been thinking about this for a few days now. If someone would have told me I'd be living the life I'm living, I probably would not have believed them.…

Raising Kingdom Kids

"Mommy, are you going to tear my butt [up]", were the words that came from my backseat .....words from my 2-year old daughter. I had just picked her up from the babysitter's house and for the second day in a row was informed that she was hitting.....and the fact that she found it funny was…

Untitled ( my feelings)

I cried today. Not just small tears, either. I cried, bawled, gave it all to Jesus.....and do you know what's wrong? Absolutely nothing..... It started early this morning. In the wee hours of the morning, I was in bed listening to "God is here" by Karen Clark Sheard. The next thing I know my body…

The day after……

Now that the clock has struck 12, a new day begins,  and our official "day" is now over, I want to offer my sentiments on Mother's Day. I certainly don't need a day to feel appreciated, but this year has been one to reflect upon. Anyone close to me knows that I'm not a big…

God’s timing is Perfect

As I sat in McKenzie Arena this weekend listening to the commencement speech for the 2017 graduating class, I couldn't help but reflect on what the speaker was saying. "There is no better moment than right now!" For the students he was addressing , that statement may not have meant much; but to me, it…

Let Her Live

Today, we laid my great-grandmother, Nevada Watkins, to rest. We said goodbye to her body for the last time. I had the honor and privilege to do a tribute to her at the funeral today. She meant too much to not have one.It was hard, but I'm built for this. I decided to use this…

Who’s crying for you?

I am in my early 30s and just recently took to this writing habit....I've always loved writing. I have always had a passion for journalism. I love taking pictures ; however, I somehow did not decide to pursue it. I think it's because I didn't want the fun to be taken out of it. Writing…

A Price to Pay

I'm in a waiting season. I've been in this season for about 2 years now. For some people, this stagnant period of sitting still is horrendous- the worst thing EVER. Yet, for me,  there's a sense of Peace and contentment that comes along with it. I've been a Lady in waiting before. I have had…
