Living It, Breathing It, Being It
You may have noticed that each month I have posted a word as an affirmation. It has been an attribute one can develop that will help them live a full life. As I have posted, I have experienced.
This past month’s word has been patience.
During the month of August I have had the opportunity to practice patience. It has been stretched to limits I didn’t even know I had. Daily as I waited for things to happen, I was reminded of the character I was developing. It was not my intention to practice this. It has not been easy, but it has been fun.
I have not been waiting on a word from a doctor, or a job or some miraculous event.
It has just been everyday things. But there have been other attributes, like love.
and joy
In the beginning, I was not paying attention or making direct connections to what was happening around me and the words for each month. But as I experience more of them, it really makes me conscious of which words are chosen.
One of my favorites…
But the truth is I have loved all of them. They are a part of me and I guess my hope is that they will be a part of you too.

When You Forget Your Phone
In my phone are hundreds of names and numbers. Without my phone, I only remember two phone numbers. I don’t even know my daughter’s phone number. When you have you bible with you, or access to it, you are probably pretty confident. But when you are in the midst of a trial and your bible and the app are not available, what do you rely on?
When You Forget Your Phone is a devotional that challenges you to memorize God’s word. If you know God’s word, it is easier to stand on His promises when your world is turbulent.
The fifteen verses included in this devotional are verses that God has spoken in the life of the author over the last year. This book will give some insight into her journey with the Lord.

Telling Our Stories
This week I was fortunate enough to have an article published in a new journal, Root Work Journal. It is a journal designed to share stories from and about African Americans.
More Than A Color tells the story of how African Americans fought back when others marginalized their worth and beauty. My story shows how they made all shades of brown beautiful.
