While I am yet Living!

LIVE YOUR LIFE!
Many people say that you should wait for the next best thing...
This thing could be a job, a mate, a grand experience but the objective is to wait!
What do you do while you are waiting? While you wait, do you make an effort to discover or rediscover who you are? Do you just wait for the right person to catch your daze or the right company to snatch you up for your perfect dream job?

I am a little afraid of the word Wait! Maybe it is because I never could keep still, I always opt to keep on moving. Do I stand still and Wait? Do I go on and not pay attention to my desires and feelings? Do I be like the woman that has been forever sitting on the park bench waiting for her perfect man until she turns to crusty bones. Hmmmm...I imagine her saying, I am just gonna stay right here and wait,  until one day, he will come and rescue me and that day never comes.

May, I suggest to those who opt to wait, waiting does not mean that you stay around, stand around, make no effort on your part to exist in the world. The world is there to experience and is much bigger than your local area code. The world is big enough to explore and conquer. We may choose to wait or we may choose to live!

Living and not just merely existing is what one needs to do . Taking ownership in living life and enjoying life each day should be a central focus rather than merely waiting for an opportunity to be discovered, chosen or accepted. Life is all of what you make it. Point to yourself and tell yourself, You make life happen!

While others are just waiting, chose to be one that lives life, enjoys and appreciates every moment! Remember, that life happens whether we Live it or Not! Let your life be worth living!

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...

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...

A Soft Place to Land

There is a specific kind of silence that follows a blow from someone you love. It’s not the silence of peace; it’s the heavy, suffocating silence of a heart trying to process why the hands meant to hold it are the very ones trying to break it.    I write today because I need to breathe. I write because, if I don't, the weight of these burdens might just pull me under. The Pain of the Hidden Truth We’ve all been there. You look at the person you admire most, the one you’ve cheered for in every season, and you realize they are using their words not to build you up, but to cut you down. It is a staggering irony: those we honor often choose to meet us with dishonor. I’ve spent so many nights wondering why the people closest to us become our greatest battlefields instead of our safe harbors. We talk about faith, we speak of grace, and we acknowledge that none of us are perfect—but shouldn't time count for something? I hoped for maturity. I hoped they would see the "evol...
