The SW30: Day 13 ~ Describe How You Met the Last Person You Texted & Talk About Your Relationship


"M!" 

I love this girl! I met her during my freshman year of college.  I remember having a conversation with her for the first time in either October or November of 2005 because she and some other girls were getting ready to bring a new organization to our campus. Strong Women of Today & Tomorrow promoted sisterhood, strength and leadership and sounded exciting! The girls started a Facebook group but were searching for Executive Board Members so that they could bring it to life at Hood. 

I applied for the position of Secretary. During my interview, I felt like we all just clicked and a couple of days later, I was informed that I had been chosen as the secretary. As time went on, M, the other girls and I started to hang out more frequently. We all lived in the same dorm and would meet up to go shopping, watch basketball games at my cousin's school. . . whatever we could find to do together.

I have always called her "The Sophisticated One." All of the girls are special to me but I feel like she really keeps me/us in check.  I can ask her for advice on just about everything! And she won't tell me what she thinks I want to hear but what she knows I NEED. . . I really appreciate that about her! 

She's extremely intelligent and spreads her wisdom and knowledge in a chic way. She continually pushes me to believe in myself and reminds me that my dreams/goals are worth going after.  She is evidence of Proverbs 27:17 in my life-> "As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend (NLT)."

We don't agree on every single thing but I know that our differences allow us to learn from each other.

Oh my goodness! I just remembered that M was a lifesaver during my senior year of college! I was working as a Resident Assistant (in an all girls' dorm) and dealing with a lot of personal situations (my grandmother passed away, I was planning a big concert, typical guy drama, etc.) and she invited me to spend a couple weekends with her and her mom!  Those trips were breaths of fresh air!  We both love good food so I was in heaven! (She actually introduced me to the Cheesecake Factory! Haha!)  

I really don't take this girl for granted. . . We are always cracking up when we have our 'phone dates.' And I appreciate the fact that while we can play around and joke, we can go to church/worship together and trust that we'll have each other's backs.  Having her and the rest of 'the girls' in my life has been a tremendous blessing to me!

The Unexpected Temptation

I know. . . It's been time for me to write something new.🙈 However, coming across this video from Jackie Hill Perry to prompted me to actually get this post out. One line pierced my heart. "When you have a gift that involves words, one of the ways the enemy will tempt you is to be silent." Wow!  I hone stly think silence is one of the last things that comes to mind when people think of temptation. According to Oxford Languages, the definition of temptation is  the desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise. I can hear someone asking, "How can silence be wrong or unwise?"  Oh. . . Hold on for just a minute and it will come together. There are times when our obedience [to speak] may be the key to someone else's blessing . Your words and actions could essentially provide healing for your brother or sister in Christ! In the book of Revelation, we read, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.....

Let It Go {One Year of Freedom}

"...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." - Hebrews 12:1 (KJV)  **If you don't get anything else out of this post, I pray that you realize. . . you really can do all things through Christ - especially when your desire is to please Him! He will strengthen you to walk uprightly before Him.** ---------- Believe me when I say. . . Knowing what you need to do is very  different from actually doing it. Sometimes it is difficult to do what we know is right. That's where I found myself, in November and December of 2022. Let me take you back. . . As a single woman (just in case anybody needs clarification 😉), I was opening myself up to meeting guys and getting to know them when I crossed paths with  Royal . Initially, we seemed to have quite a few things in common: faith, a desire to serve our communities, a strong love for our families, and. . . a way with words. (*insert face...

I Can't Buy It!

"They are trying way too hard." Have you ever watched a tv show/movie or had a conversation with someone and thought that?  Sometimes it could be a matter of trying to create a sense of chemistry that isn't there or maybe one person is trying to impress another.  It's quite interesting to me. . . I remember having a conversation with my uncle, a few years ago.  We were discussing the various ways that people may treat PKs (preacher's kids).  Sometimes people feel extremely comfortable talking to me- when they find out that my father is a pastor.  ( At times, they become a little too comfortable and I start to feel like their therapist. . . I love to offer encouraging words though.  And I appreciate the fact that they trust me enough to share things with me. )  Other people seem to close up.  It's as though they think I'll scrutinize their every move :-/.  I promise- I'm a sweetheart :-). THEN. . . we have those people who end up being ...
