Don’t Lose Hope




This one is brief. The Monday after the very first Resurrection Sunday didn’t look any different for most people. The tomb was empty, but how many people knew? Furthermore, how many people had actually seen the risen Jesus just yet? 


Maybe you’re tired. I know I am. But just because its Monday doesn’t mean He didn’t do it. Many people had no idea how the world had been changed on that Monday. But Hell knew that EVERYTHING had changed!



Don’t lose hope. Maybe that pressure you feel is the evaporation of Hell’s hope in your defeat. Stay locked in. The good news is on the way!

Still Married, Over 2 Years Later!

  It sounds like what’s the big whoop? I’m sure most would hope that would be true 2, 10, 20 years! But we separated over 2 years ago! I filed for divorce over a year ago.

I chose the God will fix it path. And I believed He would.  Then as time went on I changed to the God can fix it camp. But as months passed, and conversations looped, and counseling continued to be refus...

Happily Ever After?

 I was speaking with a friend the other night, and she commented that she didn’t remember the last time I was so happy. The reason she couldn’t remember was because any sort of happiness I had experienced previously had been so fleeting. She and I had met at the end of 2020. My whole life had gone through restructuring, so 2021 seemed promising.  Purposeful but painful is what 2021 turned out to be. Rather than height to height, 2021 traversed heights to valleys. What was hopeful collapsed. What was stable shifted to shaky. And what was foreign and unknown became my safety zone. I went from the familiar streets of DC to the mountains of North Carolina. I went from being one of many almost everywhere I went, to one of the only African Americans in the area. It was hard. Injustice was real, and the marriage I had been hoping for had imploded. 2022 brought new everything. New job. New place to live. New title: single mom. Constant change in which I found it hard to find more than...
