Day 28 -HAPPY THANKSGIVING

November 28, 2013November 30, 2013

Shortest post of the month!! 😉

Keeping it brief tonight.

Some days are just meant to “be” and not to “do”. I’m working on being today.

Let’s enjoy times like these to unplug and cling to the people God surrounds us.

Hold on to them tight…tomorrow is not promised.

xoxoxo

Most time I do this work for others-today the work is for me. It’s personal and it is hard. More than an apology or catering to white fragility I want to be seen and celebrated for all of who God has made me. I want my faith and identity to be seen as whole not isolated, fractured or broken. I’m doing this work because even through the wounds and battle I still believe the power of God is able to heal us all. Oneness does not mean sameness. If you want to be braver and emboldened to REALLY do justice, love mercy and walk humbly before our God come join me and many others who are daring to go there!! There’s still room. @faithandequity #faithandequity

Emerge 2019 . “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (THE MESSAGE) . . I’m tired of being tired y’all. 2018 took so much life and wholeness from me. Some things were beyond my control some where my own masterful hot messes. I drew too much from my own strength and reserve. Tethered with the depletion of not setting aside consistent time to attend to my passions, mind, body and spirit- I tapped out on exhaustion way too many times. . . I kept forgetting that I am rooted in the One whose resource, nourishment and supply never run dry. And more than anything He wants me to live in this broken-dysfunctional-racist world ABUNDANTLY. . . Life is going to happen-especially my life as a Black woman in this here country AND there is a God who is always for me-in all kind of ways-in everyday- FOR ME! . . I can’t look at what’s visible or even predictable with my natural eye or circumstances. I must discipline my mind, body and soul to look for the invisible-supernatural power and inward possibility living actively inside of all humanity and ready to break forth in me. . . The only way to go up in my health,calling, finances and faith is to GROW DEEPER and CLOSER to the One who continues to create and sustain me. . . 2019 let’s emerge more whole,more fueled, more GRACE-filled-ly! Freer and lighter is where I want to be. #emerge2019 #mywordfortheyear #cantgrowwideruntiligrowdeeper #journeytowholenessandholiness #notaboutperfection #allaboutunforcedrhythmsofgrace #tiredofbeingtired #cantcontrolothersbutcanchooseme #anchoringdeepertomysource #timetorecovermorelife

The Best of 2018-A Week to Unplug and Reflect Ok y’all I’m going to keep it soooo real! I’ve been stuck (a whole week) trying to post and capture my top 9 of 2018! 9 slots just wasnt enough room to capture all the people, places and moments that adequately represent the depth and breadth of last year. The gift in my inability at the time to narrow down what I desired to highlight caused me to zoom out and stand on the balcony of this past year. . I journaled all week and realized last year was one of pain, growth and transition. The peeling back and shaking off of failed attempts, regret, betrayal and past harms threatened to rob me of my peace, joy and forward movement. Often times I felt stuck but I now realize it was that pause that was needed to heal and release before moving forward. Honey-child the lesson that kept returning to slap me in the face was healing, forgiveness, change and transformation are all processes -which cant be forced and put upon others to get there. All of us have to want and choose to do the deeper things on our own. . The lessons and blessings of 2018 forced me to walk bolder and closer into the person I’m striving to be. . Last year was also a year of promotion, celebration and adventure. I was held, nurtured and esteemed. Who I desire to become was seen and resourced in the most intimate and public ways. . What I know more about myself is that I love deep and wide and to my core believe that owning and living out our unique story, our bravest liberation and our relentlessly pursuit of the God-size dreams etched in the blueprint of our everyday lives is worth fighting for. . And I believe that none of us should be or go it alone. Every picture that I did manage to capture represents somewhere along the way a person, family member, friend, Sis, Brother, community member, mentor, advocate who chose to walk alongside supporting me as I reached to grab ahold of one of my bravest years ever. I am a very loved woman and I don’t take the gift of those God has strategically placed in my life for granted. . #day31to46 #46daysto46years #birthdaymonthcomplete #journaltoheal #aweektoreflect #ididit #46of46 #ablackwomansmidlifejourney
