If The Walls Can Talk

Photo by Nick Fewings on Unsplash If these walls can talk it would say that it was their umpteenth time here again. On their knees, tears flowed from their eyes trying to call out to whoever was their friend. It would say how they paced the floors and mumble things unable to understand. It would say how they watch them unfold and fold, barely able to stand. If these walls can talk, it would say how they see them turned dark. Watching beyond the sheetrock as they slice leaving redlines as their mark It would say that they saw them cursed, it saw them call down everything they can think of It would say how they were silent and a shell of themselves, absolutely nothing left. No love. If these walls can talk, it would tell them that they had tried everything but the One He sits high and looks down low, His blinks control the sun. It would tell them that if they try His system then it won't hurt as much It would tell them that He would love them be...
Let's Talk - Is Your Trauma Mapping Out Your Future?

This is a heavy topic and I hit on this a while back before. (Trauma-Spoken Word) However, I want to circle back on it and open the floor for us to have a discussion on it. Most of us, if not all of us have gone through something in our childhood, teenage, or young adulthood lives that have either have us tip-toeing into our future or barreling towards it with no awareness. Trauma is something that I don't take lightly because I believe that it is something that can literally change the way a person thinks and act, therefore changing their course of life. Most time, especially in the black community, trauma can go untreated. It won't be talked about. It won't be treated. It won't even be identified. However, the way we would act and think and go about in our daily lives would display the reactions of what we have gone through in our past. Facing what we have been through before is harsh and very much painful. You're going to find yo...

Luke 21:34 āBe careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap." I did a post about this before in the early beginning of my blog, but I want to go back and rehash it because I want to bring more awareness to it. Stop waiting for the other shoe to drop! That mindset is a ploy of the enemy to keep us in the constant mindset of worry and fear. It decreases our self-esteem and worth. It closes our hands to accepting blessings because we think we are unworthy of them. It binds us to the train of regression instead of progression. The scripture used is the best to fit this kind of thinking. It shows just what I meant when I said that it is a ploy of the enemy. Worrying and waiting for the other shoe to drop makes us get so caught up that we not only miss the spiritual progress God has for us, but we also walk blindly into the End of time. We ...

Photo by Jaime Spaniol on Unsplash My battleground has no blood on its ground. It doesn't have the G.I Joes, There are no military weapons to be found. There are no barbwires, there's no warning alarms. There's nothing to state its a battlefield, But yet, when I am there, I'm still harmed. I have done everything on its soil. I've waved my flag in surrender, I've fought mercilessly. I've hidden in the shadows from the turmoil I've asked for peace, but its a tough bargain Please just arrest my thoughts, silence the shouts I just want to hear myself again I sought to recruit, to have assistance in this war of me vs me I heard that He can calm the storm. And in the midst of the chaos, put a balm in Gilead. He's a victor, an expert in the art of war He's never lost one battle, all medals in His name. He doesn't seek to even the plain, He dismantles the score. He takes thoughts captive and completely demolishes arguments and pretensions He ...
Let's Talk- What Gets You Up?

In today's world, there are so many things that run through our minds that can leave us depressed and just completely out of it. This, in turn, causes difficulties with us wanting to get out of bed and going through another day. I know I have NOT been the only one who at some point in life finds it so hard to get out of bed. I'm sure I am not the only one who has laid in their bed and said "What's the point?" Obviously, I have found some kind of remedy to this madness. The trick for me is thinking about my family, my purpose, and my reason for being here. I know there is still more for me to accomplish, so I try my hardest to push through that fog. Tell me, what's your antidote on those days of immobility. Those days when your heart and mind have held hands and decided to not continue? What still makes you swing one foot out of the bed? What makes you get up? Leave comments below! Let's talk!
What A Mess

Psalm 22:11 "Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help" I often would have these periods in my life where I feel like I am not in control. It's like my mind is at war with me and I feel as though everything I do or say makes it even worse. I feel like I am chaotically spiraling out of control. Falling apart. A mess. It's a tough spot for me every time I start to feel this way. I try to remember constantly that I am human. That I can and will sometimes fall throughout this life. It doesn't make me feel any better, but it helps put this uncontrollable part of my life into context. The scripture today was taken from Psalm, written by King David. God describes the king as a man after His own heart. It was because David's relationship with God was nothing but true and authentic love. When you read Psalm, you would see that David was always in some kind of a mess and find himself in repentance. What I like the most out of this obs...
Get Rid of The Mold

Leviticus 14:39-40 "On the seventh day, the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the mold has spread on the walls, he is to order that the contaminated stones be torn out and thrown into an unclean place outside of the town." In today's scripture context, it is referring to the defiling of molds in fabric and homes. I noticed while studying this scripture that it later referred to mold as depression in the 30th verse. There are many things out there in the world that are causing death and hardship, but there is a silent killer that has been lurking for a long time undetected. It's amazing that mold and depression are interchangeable here because although they don't affect the same things, their actions mimic the other. Similar to mold, depression doesn't show or rear its ugly head until it's too late. Let's look at old bread, you won't see mold on it as yet, but if you smell it you can catch the scent of moldiness. I battled with de...
A Prayer For Anxiety

Photo by Just Jack on Unsplash Dear Heavenly Father, I need you, Lord to take control of my mind. It feels as though my thoughts have gotten ahead of me. I confess I have allowed worry to consume me, But, I remember You say I can cast my cares on You. That when anxiety comes to overtake me, That Your consolation can bring me joy instead. Lord, take my thoughts captive and make the subject to You. Grant me Your perfect peace so that my mind can remain steadfast on You. Don't let the troubles of this world overcome me. Lord, they are nothing but vapor. I am reminded. Lord, here are my thoughts. Here's what is bothering me. (Insert what you may weigh down with). I exchange it with you today. I exchange my worrisome word with Your Word. You will fight for me. (Exodus 14:14) You will protect me, You are my refuge ( Psalm 91) You will heal me. (Psalm 103). You will come through for me (Joshua 1:9) God, please remove thi...
