Condos, Poetry, and Goals


Seeing pictures was one thing but walking around my "auntie's" new home kind of blew my mind. A little over a year before this visit, my mom and I sat with her as she described this place that she wanted to move into.

I honestly think I forgot about it for a while until I saw Facebook posts regarding the move. It was really happening!

Seeing my auntie's new home- in person and attempting to take in its beauty made me grateful to God for the way that He had blessed her! Romans 12:15 instructs us to "Rejoice with them that rejoice."

During our visit, both my mother and auntie challenged/encouraged me to give myself more credit, step out on faith, and pursue the goals and dreams that mean(t) the most to me. A few days later, I decided to make a 30 by 30 List. 

I decided that even if I don't accomplish every single item by the time I'm 30 years old, I still want to work towards completing the list or revising it as it becomes necessary. [I haven't even added 30 things to the list yet but I've already started making decent progress.] I understand that words are powerful and I know that with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26).

I often say that I am expecting GREAT THINGS and it is the absolute truth! My prayer is that my life brings glory to Jesus. . . that my words and actions will inspire people to know Him for themselves!

Last night, a couple of my girlfriends and I were BLESSED to attend the 2016 Poets in Autumn Tour in Philadelphia. When I tell you that we laughed, (almost) broke down in tears, and left extremely encouraged... I mean it!

During the event (I don't even want to call it a show), Ezekiel Azonwu spoke about living out our purpose. I know I can't quote him verbatim but he essentially said, "Don't wait to do and be all that God has created you to do [or be]! Get to work now!" That hit home for me! At times, I wonder if I have enough knowledge, support, or resources to accomplish all that I desire to do. However, I have to remember that God knows and sees all... and He will make provisions for me (and you too)!

I intend to follow Ezekiel's advice and I encourage you to do the same!

Don't worry about your circumstances. . . Focus on God- who can answer your prayers while you're still calling on Him (Isaiah 65:24)! Know that He won't abandon you. Trust Him to lead and guide you, as you pursue His Will for your life but make sure you block out all distractions so that you can hear His voice.

All things are possible, according to His Will! Free your dreams!

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 ...
