Undergird Him
I’m sure my mother, three sisters: (Alohndra, Stephanie, and Natasha), two sisters in law: (Dionne and Domita) and soon to be sisters: (Jeannine, Zaheera, and Chaneal) will attest to the fact that I’m intentional about family structure, and setting the framework for strong relationships as we live and love each other. I willingly do the…

Understanding Her.
It is an exciting time in the life of my family. All the men in my life are currently in relationships. All five of my brothers have significant others, special women that they’ve made their wives (Antoine, Hestin) or plan on making their wives (Big Ron, Joe, and Josh) in the very near future. For…

Connection
True connection happens first in the spirit. It applauds your struggle, appreciates your strengths, and adds to your significance. It is an intertwining of purposes, the joining of destinies. It happens in the soulish realm; it’s the joining of emotions, the compass for your will, innately driven, spiritual then physical. It can not be adequately verbalized,…

Private Party
A few years ago one of my favorite singers India Arie performed a song entitled Private Party. The premise of the song was that she was having a private party with herself…celebrating the woman she’s become. There are times as we venture to live and love in God’s likeness that we have to allow the Holy…

Sweets…Let Me Tell You
Presentation is everything. It can break or make a dish, discussion, diagram, or delivery. If you want me to get it by all means put some thought into the content, context, and conflict I will have in deciding to accept, affirm, and acclimate to what you present as the Truth. Don’t just throw it out…

A Developing Yes
Are we proactive participants or passive recipients of promise? When God gives us a Word are we required or do we have to do anything to prepare for the fulfillment of that word? If anything what is the buy in, the work of preparation? Should we prepare for the promise? If so, how and what…

A Developing No
Have you ever noticed there are some things we “get” quickly and then there are those things that dawn on us in time? Life and love seems to include a number of delayed reactions. I for one have learned to embrace the fact that there are some things about life and love that I easily…

A Developing Word
There are some of us who have the ability to grow and develop within sequence. Life and love for you happens in pattern (the way it’s supposed to occur)…your story when told is equivalent to a checklist rendition of perfection. You were born without occurrence or offense went to the right schools… excelled in your…
