His Grace is MORE Than Sufficient… Enough for Me
The other day I had many opportunities where I wanted and could have been selfish with my time. It seemed that everyone one of my clients had an urgent issue on what was supposed to be my day off. I had to check my attitude a few times and put my grown self on a timeout, literally and figuratively. Yes, I am woman enough to say… I walked into my bedroom, shut the door and then the walk-in closet and screamed “Help me Jesus!” Don’t get me wrong, I love assisting others. It’s one of the areas I have been graced in. However, I am learning how to find balance in…

Trust in His Timing
We don’t attempt to speed up the process of baking a cake because we know if we do it may end up flat. Why then do we try to rush God in regards to his timing and seeing manifestations of the blessing in our lives? Everything happens in God’s perfect timing. So, rest assured He has you covered. Just stay in faith! #LOVEFORWARD

Running With the Vision
One of the things I have learned in my almost 10 years as serving as a steward and assistant in ministry is this… At the time the leader is casting the vision, your heart has to be willing to receive it. Once you do, you can conceive it for yourself. You become a surrogate of that vision. Now, as it is developing within you… It’s your responsibility to speak life into it, prepare for its birth by setting up systems and processes so it can be successful once presented to the world. And even after it has begun to take its first steps and strides…. It’s still your job to continue…

5 Funny Things That Happened During & After Our Wedding Ceremony
On this upcoming Monday, the Hubby Coach and I will be celebrating our 2nd Wedding Anniversary! I am super excited because I think I am more in love with him now than ever before. We were married on June 9th, 2012 in the Great Lakes Garden in Niagara Falls State Park (Niagara Falls, NY.) I thought to commemorate the date; I would share a few funny things that happened on our special day. Here are 5 funny things that happened during and after our wedding ceremony…. Our brother-in-love who married us made me say my vows twice. I don’t know why, but he did! I actually forgot to put Oji’s ring on his…

You Are More Powerful Than You Could EVER Imagine.
“You are more powerful than you could EVER imagine. Walk with a boldness knowing, you wouldn’t be here if God didn’t have a purpose for you to fulfill!” This morning as I was starting my day, the above statement came into my Spirit. All I could do at the moment was to say Ok, I receive it Lord! I then was led to begin cleaning out and archiving my voice recorder. I hadn’t realized I had over 3 years of recordings stored on it! Many of the audio files were of Music Ministry rehearsals from my church back home World Changers Church – New York. I found some real gems…

This may seem random… You were on my heart.
The other day I felt led to just say thank you to sister-friends that have played pivotal roles in my life’s journey. Many of them I do not speak to on a regular basis offline. The last time I might have seen some of them is as much as 20 years ago! However, because of technology we are connected to each other through social media. So, while, on the phone with my sister, I updated my Facebook status and began going through my contacts and tagging ladies to the post. The response was lightening fast and powerful! It became an all out love fest that has lasted most…

Elder Woman… A Poem for Miss. Maya
Miss. Maya, Can I tell our shared story? How we all became your daughters and sons? Many of us never met you face to face. Yet…Somehow feel as if we are all kin to you. You wiped tears of shame from eyes distances away with pages used as tissues. Ink running over and down like water cascading off cheeks onto your volumes’ sheets We were first introduced to you and your writings in “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” And from that day on, we were hooked. Wishing we could crawl into your bosom and just weep. Elder Woman, you were clothed with wisdom and grace.…

Going Beyond the Mask
I recently had a profound conversation with my sister. We were talking about behavior labeling. I have said that I was an introvert for years. It’s not what I am by nature. I am an extrovert with introvert like tendencies. However, because of life, I had adapted the full labeling of an introvert to protect myself from being hurt by others. People have misunderstood me many times. I have been told that I seemed aloof or standoffish. I didn’t want to be. Internally my inner extrovert was screaming “Here I am, let’s be friends!” The mask I wore daily in the world; to shield me from hurt said different. It…

There’s No Distance in the Spirit
“I am still getting used to this long distance / no distance in the Spirit relationship we have.” This was a text I had sent to one of my best friends/sisters. Reading it back now, it sounds like a corny pick up line. However, it’s the truth. My sister Nicole is one of those few people that I don’t even need to tell I am dealing with something. She can sense it in her Spirit and will call me and vice versa. We have known each other for almost 10 years. God used her as an extremely real and present catalyst, for me to begin the healing process of forgiving myself…

That’s His Love for You, That’s His Love for Me
Love sweeter than berries ripened by sun kisses Deeper than oceans deep Stronger than trees that weep Palms that sway in hurricane winds That’s His love for you, that’s His love for me Love that grows faster than fresh cut grass And as infectious as a newborn baby’s laugh That’s His love for you, that’s His love for me He yearns for you from within He desires for you to love Him only, completely He died for you He rose and lifted you up with Him He knew before time began, that you would be His His plans are grand He holds you in his hand He guides you And…
