Lamp unto my feet
Guide every step, every mile, every milestone On this journey, never trodden, For it is only mine to take, and The destination is you To think of my frail knees, ever dwindling and faltering as they stride These feet never sure of their direction Between the messages of the mind, spirit, and body; Align them…

Love and Nurture
It’s often said that one shouldn’t speak about children and raising them unless they have had children of their own to raise. And yes, I absolutely believe that. I know nothing about raising one but I know a few things about being raised. Today I randomly came across a conversation between TD Jakes and Steve…

I can’t Vs. How can I ?
The first phrase is inhibitive to success because it shuts every door that leads to your creativity pockets. The latter phrase however, is one that impels creativity and incites drive. Since I completed my bachelor’s program, I knew that I wanted to continue to study but everytime I tried to find ways to fulfil that…

Fall forward.
It is okay to move. There are dreams and visions that we hold which can seem so far off that we feel so powerless on our pursuit of them. My dreams and visions are bigger than me, sometimes appear to be so far away from my reach. That is fine. My philosophy is to move…

Come to the Father.
I landed on this very straight forward very nice piece on Facebook and couldn’t help thinking this should be the attitude of every Christian in every church. When we become so self righteous that we don’t recognize our sons, we become unwelcoming to people who are in places where we ourselves could have been save…
