Right Where You Belong

Choose to Be, Right Where You Belong

The thing about life is that you are always trying to find the place where you feel most comfortable and fit in. However, the place of comfort is basically a state of being because nothing is always what it seems. What I mean is this, there would always be some obstacles or difficulties that you would face where ever you exist. Perhaps, you're feeling frustrated on your job, or in your marriage or with school but those frustrations will have its place in your life to build you, shape you and define you.

We sometimes think that we got to get out of something or move from a place because of all the signs which shows that it is not working and everything you are doing seems to be failing. I know that feeling, oh so well where I just couldn't take it any longer because of some opposition that I was facing or difficulty that I found myself into, but the thing is everyone of those difficulties or obstacles challenged me, strengthened me and made me into the person I am today.

Think about Joseph, he was thrown into a pit by his brothers, eventually sold as a slave in Potiphar's house, ran into some problems there and was thrown into prison. I am sure Joseph wished that he could get out of the mess he was in but after the stretching , breaking, the molding, the filling, God eventually moved Joseph from the Pit to the Palace.

Recently, I was dealing with a few obstacles where I felt that I did not want to deal with this any longer. I was so ready to walk away and give up and move on. However, someone reminded me that on my way to my Greater, attacks, opposition and difficulties will arise to push me back to a familiar place and stop my progress on the road to success. There is always a new devil for every level we reach in life but it is up to us, to push our way through with our weapons of Prayer, Praise and Worship. The enemy does not want us to reach our place of destiny and he will do all that he can to discourage us and to push us back to a familiar, sad and defeated place... but don't give place to the devil...push him back!

The place where you are right now may be one of those hard places where all you see is darkness, doom, gloom and failure. You may be in a place where you see no progress and face opposition on every side. If you don't see a clear way out, know this You are right where you belong.

If the doors have not swung open for you, it simply means there is still something God may have for you to do right where you are. Don't allow the obstacles to push you out before your time. Don't despise your process of stretching, molding and filling...I believe God is up to something in your life. When it is all over, you will move into your destiny...up where you belong!

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...

Unspoken Words...I Broke Down Today!!!

So how's this for a reel...real talk, real truth and real emotions... I Broke Down Today!!! Some would say, I had a meltdown while others would say I lost total control of my emotions. I would have been deemed emotional and yet I was unashamed... I baled, I balled, I cried out in desperation because of hurt, pain, mishandling and misinformation. You see days before I was walking tall, proud that I was keeping it all together. For what though, for a world that is growing colder and callous every day. Now has me wondering, do people truly care about people. The world today is not the world that I dreamt about...a world of peace, love, unity, equality, equity and family togetherness...just the sound of it seems farfetched now. But yet I still have a dream... that one day tings gonna get better...like the good Bishop says. I broke down today because family is not the same anymore, so much division, so much strife, no unity and I am asking where is the love that once was had. I broke d...
