The 50-Year-Old Whole Single

She walked down the aisle with tears glistening and made eye contact with so many of her guests, mouthing the words “thank you”. It was the first wedding I had been to where the bride did such a thing. Demonstrating so much humility and gratefulness with each step forward for the people standing in the… Continue reading The 50-Year-Old Whole Single

Ending Well & Using Words

Several years ago, I was spiritually released from my previous employer. I had been through the “woo” at that company and my mom often joked about the possibility of them being exposed on the news due to their corruption (she even threatened to call the news a few times). But it was God’s will that… Continue reading Ending Well & Using Words

Coming of Age

She was developing in her character, growing in her faith and ultimately she was being prepared for the change in season. • When it was… Continue reading A Closer Look At Ruth

Super “Aunt”

This weekend I did something out of the ordinary. Instead of going to the beach alone, spending my weekend reading, cleaning the house, watching random shows on Hulu/Youtube/Netflix or any other thing that only involved ME, I invited community into my plans. I texted a friend with 2 kids and invited her to the beach.… Continue reading Super “Aunt”

The Emotionally Healthy Leader

I just finished listening to this podcast on being an Emotionally Healthy Leader. I listened to it 2x it was so good! The man shared his experience of pastoring a church and everything breaking down in his life. He almost lost his marriage b/c he was so unhealthy emotionally. He realized spiritual maturity and emotional… Continue reading The Emotionally Healthy Leader

So I’m on day 4 of this 21-day-dating challenge and I’m learning some good stuff. There are a lot of confirming scriptures and methods of reflection which is to me God’s way of saying “You are on the right path”. It’s one thing to learn about being a healthy person through various blogs, podcasts and… Continue reading Day 4-Dating Challenge
