Somewhere along the journey, I started drifting. I didn’t notice it at first—these things rarely happen in a loud, obvious way. It’s subtle. Quiet.

Making Time for God
Life has a way of pulling us in every direction at once. There are to-do lists, responsibilities, people who need us, and dreams we’re chasing.

I Should Have Listened
When God Said That Wasn’t for Me There’s a deep ache that comes with disobedience, the kind that doesn’t just bruise your heart but rattles your spirit.

I’m tired
It's tiring as a child, being told what to do and how to do it. With no regard to if you already know how to do it. It's tiring being a woman, who is expected to do certain things and carry herself a certain way. It's tiring being a black woman, who is looked down upon… Continue reading I’m tired
