Shifted

You just know that you're being shifted, when you're most uncomfortable, less bothered by the status quo and in a period of quietude, where you are just observing it all and you refuse to speak about anything of significance or noteworthy. As you have learned the wisdom of being still and keeping your business to yourself.  All this means is that you are in a state of transition and something wonderful is occurring in your life...

This is it...you are getting ready to expand, where your daily contractions are pretty close together and are preparing you for your season of birthing.

Now one thing  I have realized, is that out of these moments of uncertainty and ebbs and flows, something dynamic is taking place. You are about to be shifted.

I truly believe that after you have fought enough, failed enough, sacrificed enough, learned enough, and have been stretched enough one thing is for certain... you have to move in another direction.

Why?

The status quo is simply not comfortable any longer, and you require something that challenges you to believe even more of those bigger and wilder the dreams. It's a vision that would have scared you previously but now you have learnt that dreams must be big enough to give you something to work hard to accomplish. Now, in foresight,  you see yourself breaking boundaries and breaking through barriers that you would never envision you could of done. Things have changed and how you view life has become different.

This is exactly what is happening in my life...there is a pressing, a breaking, a stretching and a shift...something greater is coming that is beyond me. I am now opposed to being and feeling comfortable in my surroundings. As, I am more secure in being me as a person and knowing that what some people view as a problem, I view as an opportunity to grow and become better.

I have purposed within myself not to identify with the status quo as  I no longer want to fit in, be accepted by the masses...I am ready to carve my own niche in life...I laugh to myself after that profound revelation and surmisd that I just might be all grown up.

Being all grown up,  comes with the understanding that you have been through the thick of it, survived and you are now qualified to call your own shots.

I guess they are absolutely right when they say at forty, your mentality becomes one where you have a new found freedom to  embrace your true self and choose not to follow everyone else rules for your life...you start calling your own shots.

Yes, I'm a Shot Caller...

I am confident now that my future is gonna be lived out on my own terms...I chase what truly matters to me and concern myself with only those who concern themselves about me...Life is less stressful.

I wish I had this knowledge sooner...I would have shifted in over drive!!!

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...
