Follow me

Grateful that God is with me, holding my hand, every step of the way.
Children always have so much joy and rarely are aware of the struggles going on around them. It reminds me that my joy should never be shaken by my circumstances. Trusting God no matter what. 📷 @itsbarrydaly
As scary as it feels to say yes to God's direction for my life, I do it anyway and in turn, He continues to give me me more and more confidence to follow Him. Fear is no longer a hindrance. My gifts are clear, how He's uses them are clear, and it's go time. The longer I live the more I see the world for what it truly is. The way our culture moves and thinks can be questionable. I don't just accept things at face value. I research and I ponder. I pray and seek wisdom. But not all of us see the same. We should all be critiquing the culture we live and thrive in. If not we leave little room for growth. Stop being a passive person who accepts anything. Put your thinking caps on.... Ask more questions.... Research the origin of things. #getyalife
This a real throwback to 13 yrs ago with my boos @liz_the_lawyer and @brandirell at Rutgers University!! Miss you both!!!
My husband is the most humble man I know. He gives and serves so much....and without complaint!!! This picture was a perfect reflection of who he truly is and I'm glad I was able to capture it. Thanks for being my muse Bae!
The topic of transparency has been one that's been coming up often over the last 2 weeks for me and my close circle. I've seen how being transparent with someone can break through so many walls and create a dope sense of closeness with the other party. But before that can even take place humility must happen. Humbling yourself takes much dying of self and vulnerability. God grants so much grace when we humble ourselves(1 Peter 5:5) In my own life, when I've made the choice to humble myself and be vulnerable with God, he's been gracious to show me so much of my mess. He's shown me how I may have wronged my husband and overlooked it because I didn't think it meant anything. That humility led me to confess those wrongdoings/sin to my husband and God gave soooo much grace in the way he responded. Have you allowed yourself to be humble and vulnerable to the point of being transparent about your mess with another? Do you do this often in your friendships or relationships? Do you confess your wrongdoings and ask for forgiveness when you know you're wrong?
So many crazy and wild things going on in the world right now, too many to name. I am determined to keep my mind on the things above without dismissing what is going on around me. Seeking wisdom from the Father on how to navigate through this world that I'm in is CENTRAL to my daily life. I'm called to teach my children His way. I'm called to be here, in this world, but not of it. I set myself apart by choosing to think and live different. That doesn't mean I don't engage the world. I'm called to spark conversations with people who aren't like me and to be transparent about who I am in order to establish common ground with folks. What are you doing to impact or change the world? Are you sparking convos with people who aren't like you or is everyone you're around just like you? Are you challenged by them? Do you challenge them?
I was really fighting to start this week right, schedules set, routines set, now I'm coming down with something and my body is saying rest. So rest I shall. However, when I get back right, it's on and Poppin! #fightforexcellence
