Fighting through the low moments

Life swings like a clock pendulum. Left to right, side to side, it may seem predictable but then again, as soon as you get used to one position, it quickly shifts to the next. And just as the swinging clock goes back and forth, there are those moments that you find yourself slipping in and out of happiness.

You were sure your head will be lifted high because you purposed in your heart that you would not have any more down days but then those days appear out of nowhere...

The ebbs and flows of life causes you to cry out for help. You find it hard to pick yourself up and move on. People see you smiling, talking, and going through the usual motion but you are hurting inside and behind closed doors when no-one is looking you are a shell of yourself, you become a lump balled up on the cold tile floor, screaming for relief. When does my pain get an expiration date? When will this process be over?

I cried enough tears, I reminisced enough, and had conversations with myself about what I could have done better...but I really want to know when the end is near...When, when, when!!!

Then the Spirit reminded me to Look Up!

Looking to God, the author and finisher of our faith.

He is the one that would meet you right where you are in your lowly state. He is there watching and waiting, during those moments where the memories come flooding in and the enemy is brassy enough to conjure up instant replay of images of your past and remind you of it.

Don't allow the enemy to keep you in your low place.

A dear friend told me that we often have to trick our minds into our own happiness. We must train our minds to fight against going into those dark places, and purpose in our hearts and minds to be joyful and to be free from Satan's plans of destruction. It takes work but it is worth it to counteract those dark days and low moments in life that come to steal our joy and imprison us in our mind, body and spirit.

The scripture below is one I read to remind me that God is with me in my low moments, he is the lifter up of mine head

But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.- Psalms 3: 3-5

What a promise to know that God is a Shield, he provides protection from harm, he is my glory, he is the one that shines his light on me and lifts up my head.

No-one is more secured, filled with hope, peace and confidence than the one who finds a shelter and refuge in God.

I almost slipped into a low moment but remembered that God is a refuge for me...I found my way to Him!

Shattered but Seen: Finding Light Through the Cracks of Family Pain

There are moments in life when everything feels like it’s unraveling at once. When grief doesn’t knock— …it kicks down the door. Lately, I’ve been living in one of those moments. Watching my sister slip into another relapse, my mother bound by the weight of severe depression, while my father, siblings, and even the grandchildren carry the silent burdens of what feels like a collapsing family. Everyone is hurting. Everyone is surviving. Barely. And the pain? It’s loud, but we’ve all learned to whisper about it. Help! My family is falling apart. The Reality Behind Closed Doors People see us smiling in public and assume we’re okay. But they don’t see the family truth behind locked doors. They don’t see how trauma ripples through generations like a virus. And we’ve all been infected. No one talks about the shame of watching a loved one relapse again. Or the helplessness of seeing your once-strong mother not be able to get out of bed. Or how numb the rest of us become just ...

Living with the End in Mind

Three weeks ago, I preached my very first eulogy—stepping in for my dad, who had to be rushed to the hospital. The message I shared came from his sermon notes, “Death Is Only a Shadow.” One verse that stood out to me during that message was from 1 Samuel 20:3 , where David said to Jonathan: “But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.” If I’m honest, 2025 has felt like a year marked by loss. Death has been moving through families and communities, hitting hard and often. I’ve attended more funerals this year than I can count. I’ve seen more “In Memory Of” posts and RIP tributes than I ever wanted to. I’ve cried tears of sorrow for loved ones and friends who are no longer here—people I can’t call, laugh with, or hug on this side of heaven. I’ve also carried the weight of others’ grief, feeling the sting of their pain. One thing is certain: we will all walk that road when our time comes. The real question is—are we living with the end...

An Open Letter to My Only Son...

Shared this post on my Facebook page and thought I'd just share with readers on my blog. Mother's Day has a way of causing people to reflect on life as we know it, the best thing about that day was to sit down and penned these words to my son. An Open Letter to My Son To My Only Son... I thought deep and hard about writing this letter on Mother's Day when it is a day where we celebrate all that is good about mothers.Truth is, son Mothers are not perfect, although we often pretend we are. Having you 18 years ago, I was not prepared for it at all. You came into this world without even a wince or cry, you stayed silent until I took you home and then you discovered your lungs, you let loosed on me and everything in your path, enormous shrilling sounds of a baby wanting attention. Dear Son... I learned as I went along, trying to figure out how a young mother at 21 could navigate her path with a baby in tow. I prayed for you long before you burst onto the s...
