I had an amazing visit with a dear friend this past week. You may remember me discussing my ex roommate-turned friend-turned lifelong sister, Lianna. At one point, we were even co workers when God used her to send me my very first bookkeeping client! Talk about a divine connection! I thoroughly enjoyed her visit because… Continue reading A Measure of Success

My New Name is Yes
It became very apparent to me at the start of this journey that God had a will, a desire and a plan for my life and that He wanted me to choose that plan. The very first indication of this was when He asked me to walk away from the love of my life at… Continue reading My New Name is Yes
3 Months In
It will be 3 months this week since I got “the news”. I found myself today thinking about my dwindling time period of locking something in so that I don’t have a gap in pay. I found myself driving to Panera so that I could use the internet and apply for more jobs. I’m sitting at… Continue reading 3 Months In
The Lord is GOOD!
I shared my testimony last night with my new friend. I told her how I had different plans for my life and how at every turn I was asked to give up those plans. At the time it caused me great pain. I could not see what God was protecting me from. I only saw… Continue reading The Lord is GOOD!
Dining from the Tree of Life
Do you ever feel like You are just Jesus’ best friend? Like He is just so into you? Everything about you, He is taking it in and soaking it up and saying, “It is good!” That is how I have felt in this season. His manifest presence and love was pouring out and every cell… Continue reading Dining from the Tree of Life
When Dreams Change
10 years ago I was a college grad who wanted to travel the world, spread the gospel and when I was “old” (around age 40), I would settle down, marry and have kids. I thought I had it all figured out. Before then I was caught up with my boo. I was all about him… Continue reading When Dreams Change
Eternal Living
This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting with an amazing young woman who also happens to follow this blog and be a writer herself! I was so encouraged by this meeting I even posted a status on FB. I was most encouraged b/c our spiritual paths were so similar. We had been tested in… Continue reading Eternal Living
Choosing the Cross
John 6:15 “Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone”. I came across this passage in a blog I follow and it really stood out to me. Jesus could have been king but chose not… Continue reading Choosing the Cross
Facing Disappointment
I did not get the job I applied for. I kind of knew that would happen but it’s still a letdown. Even applying for it tugged on so many heart strings. This journey of surrender and waiting never gets easy. When I was told there was another more qualified candidate I did a quick debate… Continue reading Facing Disappointment
For You Single Woman (And For Me)
I am always in awe when people reach out to me through this little blog. I’m super blessed when there are other young, brown women with similar spiritual journeys who comment or email me. I have been doubly blessed even recently when this happened. It is for that reason I want to share the following.… Continue reading For You Single Woman (And For Me)
