Since 2011, entrepreneurship has taught me that “success” can feel fleeting, and my definition of it continues to evolve. This year marks 10 years of being full time in my business, and I’m especially grateful to have participated in the Small Business Resilience Grant Program through the @mygabc for CSRA businesses impacted by COVID-19. One thing became clear: there is so much we cannot control, but we can build resilience. I’m currently pivoting and making changes to my business model so I can continue to grow, serve and thrive. Grateful to the State of Georgia for the investment of learning, support and funding to help make that possible. Also, grateful for my bestie @pharmdiva07 showing up to cheer me on. 🎉🎉

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FIVE STAR READ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “The stories of these two women from different generations showcase how God is always at work in each of us, building a legacy of faith that can equip and encourage those who come after us. While this book is a wonderful solo read, I can also envision it sparking enlightening conversations in a multi-generational Bible study group.” ~Amazon Review 🛑 I only have 5 signed copies left. Get yours before they are gone!!

"I'm trying to get my life together." This was Betty Poole's response to me asking how she was doing, lol. I laughed because I say that all the time. She said, "I'm serious!" Then I asked her what she meant by it. "I need to make sure I'm trusting in God." Now, trust and believe, at 80+ years, my mom knows the Lord. However, this conversation is an example of why I admire her faith walk. She's honest about its ongoing nature. That's one of the beautiful aspects of our journey that we share in "Lord, Show Me Your Green Pastures." Your life is always being put together and it doesn't mean you're behind, too far gone or beyond God's redemption. Faith is not a one-and-done. My heart breaks for the elders who act like they have it all together all the time AND for the younger folks watching and assuming Christianity is some impossible achievement where you get everything just perfect. This isn't some milestone like graduating high school, where you memorize enough Bible verses. There is ALWAYS more to learn, a new level to unlock and dimensions of an Almighty God our human minds cannot even begin to conceive. It's not a job where "years of service" automatically translates into titles, a promotion or perks. No, anybody at any point, at any age, can be called to assignments to SERVE. It reminds me of this quote from Maya Angelou: “I’m always amazed when people walk up to me and say, ‘I’m a Christian.' I think, ‘Already? You already got it?’ I’m working at it, which means that I try to be as kind and fair and generous and respectful and courteous to every human being." My mama and I are still working on it, and you can, too! We wrote Lord, Show Me Your Green Pastures, not just to tell our story but to show how the Living Word helps us "get our life together," problem after problem, success after success, and in seasons of grief and uncertainty. It makes for a beautiful gift for mamas, sisters, daughters and anyone who needs a word of encouragement.

“As for me and my house…” applies to EVERYBODY, because Lord knows the prayers of many righteous folks brought our girl home. 🙏🏾😉 Now that I have your attention, I want to share something a little more personal. All week, I have felt a little melancholy. A little down. I know for some, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ may feel like a Bible story, but I take it personally. This week has reminded me of how I feel around the anniversary of my dad’s passing. There is a lingering sadness that comes with it. And not being able to do my usual family traditions makes it all feel even heavier. But today, seeing Kaolin playing in her shirt and reading those words over and over again, “He is risen,” reminded me of something: There is still joy. The story did not end at the crucifixion. And even in my own life, when dreams die, things feel hopeless or like I am missing out, joy is still available. That is my prayer for all of us today, that even when grief lingers and traditions change or fade, we would still find our way back to the power, the peace, and the joy of a risen Savior. That’s the whole point, after all. ❤️

The invitation to follow Jesus remains—even after you wander off track, stay a little too long in one spot or try to rush ahead sometimes. Ahhh, this is that everlasting love, redemptive grace that exceeds understanding. In the beginning, Jesus asked Peter to follow him. In the end, he makes the same request. Every single moment, we have the chance to say yes to following Jesus instead of our own plans, society’s expectations or the temptation of some false idol.

When God calls you, you have to be very, very careful in how you judge yourself. God says go and you basically say, “I’m not good enough.” What you need to know is with God, you are GOOD to go!! We can be so fixated on the failures of today or the mistakes of the past that we miss the future plans God is preparing us for. When in doubt—of yourself, your ability, your knowledge, your talents, your strength—trust God. Trust that God would not choose you to do anything alone or go on a journey without leading you and equipping you!

Some conversations do more than pass the time. They stick with you, teach you some things... You may not even realize their power or meaning until days, months, or years later. Some of the sweetest conversations I’ve had have been with my mother, on front porches, in quiet moments, and in the middle of ordinary days that somehow made room for reflection, laughter, and truth. There is something special about slowing down long enough to talk, remember, and listen for what God may be saying. Next week, I’ll be sharing something new that grew out of conversations like these, and I’m really looking forward to inviting you in. I CANNOT wait!!!

When people question and critique in order to disrupt my work, I tell them they have to take that to God in prayer, cause I don’t even know how I got here either, except divine leadership. 🥴 I used to attempt to prove I belonged where I found myself — on bookshelves, stages, in pulpits, at the table alongside CEOs and millionaires, in the room with governors and political leaders… I would prepare so hard to ensure I didn’t make a fool of myself, my family, my community. I would chase and tout credentials. What a waste of energy, time and talent. These days, I quite enjoy people wondering, “What in the world is she doing here?” or “What makes her think she can do/say that?” 😂😂😂 Me: Let me tell you about the God I serve! 🙌🏾
