Hi, my Name is
The world can and will feed you a plethora of narratives that will have you questioning: Am I enough or am I worth it? I’m here to remind you that God knew you before anyone else knew you and He KNOWS that you’re worth it. He KNOWS that you are enough.

Why You Gotta Be So Mean?
In this world full of judgement, I found myself trying to counteract it with perfectionism. However, in trying to be perfect, I became overly critical of myself. I was the mean girl to myself. As I grow closer to God, not only has He shown me grace and forgiveness, but He’s also teaching me how to show myself grace and forgiveness.

God Don’t Play About Me
Unfortunately, hostile work environments and unfair working conditions are more common than healthy environments and fair conditions. Working in work environments like these can leave one feeling frustrated, drained and many other negative emotions. As I’ve looked back at past jobs, I noticed that God never left me in a horrible environment for long. All I had to do was trust in Him.

Sermon Suggestion: Enemies of Excellence
Have you ever thought, “I need to adult better” or “I need to stop procrastinating”? Pastor Dharius Daniels reminds us in his video, “Enemies of Excellence” that there are foxes, like procrastination, that come to kill, steal and destroy our excellence. If you are trying to adult better or maximize your life, I highly recommend this video.

After the Rain
For years, I viewed my single season as a storm that would never pass or as a never-ending desert (wilderness) season. However, earlier this year, I heard a sermon that made me realize that my single season is more than a storm or a desert period, but it is a period of preparation. A period that is for my benefit so that when my kingdom spouse does come, I will be prepared.

Podcast Episode(s) Suggestion: How to Start a Budget
In lieu of Monday’s blog, I thought it would be a great idea to suggest a budgeting video! You can watch Peggy Buck’s “How to Budget” video either on Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts’ Woman Evolve TV channel or you can visit YouTube, where it is titled, “W.E. TV Throwback: Budgeting Class X Peggy Buck.”

You Only Live Once (YOLO)!
The fear of missing out or FOMO is a real thing, especially if you have missed out for YEARS! At the age of 23, I vowed that I would experience life by going to more concerts. 5 years later, I rediscovered traveling and I became infected with the travel bug. Up until recently, I was always on the go. Then, I discovered that my savings account had sunk lower than I appreciated. I had to become more serious and intentional about saving. Read more about what I learned about saving.

Teach Me How To Love
Being a Christian means having your own personal relationship with God. However, you maybe wondering HOW?! Read more about the steps you can take to develop a deeper relationship with God.

Sermon Suggestion: 5 Keys to Identifying Your Soulmate
After a situationship I knew I shouldn’t have been in ended, I was hurt and started wondering why none of my relationships were working. During my downtime at work, I went on YouTube and stumbled across Touré Roberts’ “5 Keys to Identifying Your Soulmate.” Whether you’re in a relationship or single, this is a must watch!

I am beautiful in every single way
It can be hard trying to uphold the world’s standard of beauty. In my experience, sometimes the world’s standard seems unattainable so you become apathetic instead. God isn’t just concerned about your spirit and soul, but how you view yourself, your outward appearance and how you carry yourself.

If you trust in [Him], [He] can be there for anything you need
Questions of if you’re capable can arise when it's time to start a new job. Recently, I had to learn that God will never bless you with a new job that He will not qualify you for

Sermon Suggestion: Nothing Left to Lose
I know what it’s like to make a mistake and feel as though it is always looming over you. Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts’ sermon, “Nothing Left to Lose” reminds us all that God still loves us and God can still use us. Just like Eve, “even though [the devil] bruised [our] heels, he [can’t] take [us] out of the game.”

Let’s Talk
We’ve all heard that “Communication is key,” but if you’re like me, sometimes you try to avoid uncomfortable communication. However, due to lack of communication, events did not always end pleasantly. Through scripture, I began to realize that even our all-knowing God requires communication. Because of that, I am making an effort to be more communicative. You should join me!

I’d catch a grenade for you
There's a saying that says, "Relationships are about give and take." In translation, that means relationships require reciprocity. If our relationship with God is reciprocal, then why can't we expect the same from our other relationships?

I ain’t got nothin’ but love for ya
The world can be enticing. Being able to fit in with others usually doesn't include God. Some Christians try to have their cake and eat it too. From Sunday evening - Saturday, their lives are in opposite of what they reflect on Sunday Morning. I realized that it's not just important to love God on Sunday morning, but everyday.

Sermon Suggestion: Nurturing Your Inner Child X Sarah Jakes Roberts
Many of my blog posts will either reference or mention the traumas of my inner child and how it has affected my life. Sarah Jakes Roberts preaches an amazing sermon about nurturing your inner child. You should watch!

Treat me like I treat Me
What is self-love and self-care? I have discovered that it is the same love and care that you would give to others, but to yourself. I’m on a journey to love and treat myself better. You should join me!

Because I’m Happy
Being happy is a choice. This is especially true when it comes to your career. I know it’s hard since the coworkers are messy, the boss is mean and the pay isn’t great. What I learned is find ways to become content/happy. What you’re complaining about is a blessing someone is dreaming about.

I’m different, Yeah, I’m different
With the constant stories, posts and videos of peers being lit with friends while it seems you are stuck at the house, forced to be bored, it is easy to understand why you could become upset, sad and angry. But God is setting you apart for a reason. I hope this blog post can give those struggling with being set apart hope and encouragement.

The first cut is the deepest
First loves. They are so exciting and magical, but for some people, they are the most heartbreaking. Trauma can rear its ugly head from a number of situations, including a first heartbreak. Let me be the one to tell you. Yes, you may still be hurt from your FIRST heartbreak. Yes, it’s ok to admit it. Lastly, yes, it’s time to heal from it.
