Naked Relationships

We all deserve to be loved, be in love, experience true love and learn to reciprocate love. The best place to heal from a broken heart is in love. In many of the conversations I have had with friends, I often see two sets of people: the hopeless  romantics who have more love to give, even when they have been broken by the source they were created from. These individuals are often labeled in layman terms as "yam heads," "delusional," or "clowns" because despite what they have endured or faced, they still find the ability to love from a pure place, a place refreshed by the springs of love. This is where the scripture finds life: 1 John 4:18, "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear." It is in the fullness of this scripture that we understand what love truly looks like. So to the dying romantics, you aren't delusional; you have only been made perfect through the fullness of love. Recently, I asked myself, "How are you stil...

Trust the God of the Detour

  TRUST THE GOD OF THE DETOUR Oftentimes, the journey through life doesn't unfold as we expect. We encounter paths that seem costly and time-consuming, leading us to question their purpose. Yet, I come with a prophecy: these detours still lead to your destined outcome.

Can I tell you that a prospered journey doesn't exclude DETOURS and DETOURS aren't DELAYS. "let it sink in." Yes, detours can be frustrating, leaving you tired, weary, hopeless, and uncertain. However, I say that the det...

Heal and begin to Shine

I have been in a state of "Luctus" laminating bitterly over what was, and what could have, yet filled with fear to embrace what his perfect will is. Truth be told, many of us are still mourning over what was, while slowly embracing what is, desiring the restoration of joy that David prayed for and a renewed spirit. Samuel in all his years of walking with God, honestly did not miss it when it came to anointing the "Next King" he was looking for a replacement in the image of Saul, that could remind him of what was, David was a new era, and the perfect will of God.  This is where I had to make peace with all this grief... I've been trying to move on with a sense of familiarity, fearful of embracing the fullness of a new season. Familiarity doesn't always mean comfort and safety. Fear isn't deadly and darkness doesn't mean evil, grief is just a gateway theirs more on the other side. Unable to embrace the fear and darkness will keep you from walking in gr...
