The SW30: Day 16 ~ What Would You Put In a Time Capsule [To Be Opened 20 years From Now]

This is funny lol! It's taken me so long to post this because I was trying to narrow down my list of items :-p. I really wanted to pick things that represent various aspects of my life.

So here's a little collage to address the first part. . .

In the top left corner, we have journals, of course! I'm almost always writing *something* down but these 2 are a couple of my favorites. Made by DaySpring, these journals have scriptures on the bottom of their pages. . . sure to inspire and encourage the writer. I feel like they represent my {growing} love for writing and God at the same time.

In the top right corner, we have A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George. This book represents the fact that I love to read but more importantly, I appreciate reading books that will motivate me to grow. This book challenged and encouraged me- from the very first chapter!

Front and center is my Vertical Current hoodie! I love this band! I kind of accidentally became a fan but I think it was inevitable :-). If you know me, you know that I don't play when it comes down to good music! This band is the truth-> all of the members are extremely talented by themselves but together, they will blow you away! Here's a clip of them opening for the Robert Glasper Experiment. . .

In the bottom left corner, we have my (old) Snarky Puppy playlist. I've never ever done drugs before but after my first SP show, I felt like I'd experienced a musical high haha! I feel like a Snarky Puppy/Vertical Current show would be one to remember! I'm just speaking it into the atmosphere ;-).

Last but not least, we have Cold Stone Creamery! I had my first Cold Stone experience while attending Hood College. Every couple of months, I try to treat myself to a milkshake from this company (Oreo Overload, Cookie Doughn't You Want Some, etc.). The combinations are so delicious!

Even though I don't have them in the collage, I would definitely include:

Pictures of my family and friends
Chopsticks from Sushi Yama (I love sushi!)
The very first L.O.V.E. Discussion Outline and Flyer
My vision board- so that I could compare my goals and priorities. . . 20 years later

What would you put in your time capsule???

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

Hydrangea Revelations

A few months ago, I brought home a hydrangea bush. Now. . . don't be deceived or confused. I do NOT claim to have a green thumb.🤣 However, I'm proud to say that I've managed not to completely kill the entire thing. This plant has honestly brought a couple of lessons or revelations to the forefront of my mind. . . A good while ago, I completely fell off of any sort of watering schedule. One night, I walked into my living room and every leap was drooping. The plant just looked sad! My immediate thought was to throw the whole thing away. Instead, I thought again. . . I decided to water it & see what would happen in the morning. The next day, I walked out and it looked new! Everything was upright! Job 14:7-9 came to mind. . . "At least there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail. Its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump die in the soil, yet at the scent of water, it will bud and put forth shoots lik
