Currently…
Well, since it is officially past my bedtime, I suppose now’s the perfect time to share. Lol. “Don’t call it a comeback!” HA! I know it’s been a while but… well… I just couldn’t. But here goes…… I can recall scrolling my Facebook timeline and seeing that someone was angry with their mother and didn’t want to talk to her again. I said a prayer that their relationship could be restored. I read once where a young lady never knew her dad and didn’t care to because she felt he’d n

Protected.
Hey y’all, I hope everyone is doing alright on this awesome Sunday evening. 😊 Mmmkay… so, I recently started getting my “nails did”… LOL. And by that, I mean actually going to the nail salon. **If you’re a guy and reading… stay with me here… it’ll make sense soon** My natural nails have grown, significantly (which they often do), and I didn’t want them to break. One of my girls suggested that I get either an Alright, now if you know anything about the process of having acryl

“Did you get the stinger out?”
A couple weeks ago, I was outside talking with my bro and sis and I was stung by a bee. I was devastated, and I made sure that they knew it. I made a huge deal about it… mainly because it really did hurt. My wrist became swollen and red, and the area began to burn. I even called my mom and dad in Michigan to whine about it (no judgement necessary). See, I hadn’t been stung by a bee since I was in kindergarten… lining up… after recess… (yes, I remember). So apparently, the nat

Plate Full
I like food… it’s good. But, I don’t like my food to touch; that’s a big no no! Sometimes, I even go to the extent of not having all the options at once so that there can be space between each item on my plate. I’ll make multiple trips, get more than one plate, whatever I need to do so that my food is not congregating to closely. Often, this can be a good thing because it causes me to get less of something so that I can have some of everything. Then, there are some foods that

Best Friend
I know… I know… where the heck have I been. Well, everywhere and nowhere at all. Lol. Anyhoo…. Sorry. Buuuuutttt here we go….. Best friend, bestie, BFF, ace… Growing up, I didn’t have many friends. I was (am) what you would call a loner. Because of the self-esteem that I lacked, earlier on in life, I longed to have friends, a best friend, someone to take the attention off of myself. I wanted that amazing BFF that Brandy sang about. Y’all know the jam: “I don’t know what I’d e

The Finale.
So, I’ve decided that I don’t need to be lazy any longer (eye roll) and that I need to resume my workouts. Uh Huh….. mmmkay. I pulled out my favorite workout DVD set, “TurboFire.” As I got into the workout, I was feeling pretty good. But toward the end, I got a bit winded. Now, any of you that know anything about Chalene Johnson (creator of the workout), you know that she yells “YOU’RE NOT TIRED!” throughout the workout to remind you not to quit. Well, I was at the point that

Unclaimed
Hey y’all…. question: Have you ever heard of those sites that offer info on unclaimed money or property? You know, those sites where you put in your name and maybe a state that you’ve lived in and they tell you whether or not that state or a company within that state owes you something. If you are owed money, there are steps to take in order to claim it. Sounds fairly simple, right? I mean, all you gotta do is type in your name and if they owe you, you claim what’s yours. The

Dust Bunnies
Now, when I think of a bunny, I think of the cute, hopping, furry baby rabbit animal with two long ears. I also think of a nickname that someone might call another person. Do y’all know what a dust bunny is??? My point…. we were made of dust! Not dirt! Dust! My God is so amazing that He took dust, formed it, and made a man. That’s how you know He’s good, He took something that could never be anything and made everybody. “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,

Just take the land.
I read the first chapter of the book of Deuteronomy the other day, where Moses reminded the Children of Israel of how bad they messed stuff up (insert eye roll). As I went on reading, I made it to verse 29, he said, “Then I said to you, ‘Do not be terrified, or afraid of them. The Lord your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you, according to all he did for you in Egypt before your eyes, and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a man

Blocked.
I’m a writer. I think that’s a given. But anyhoo, I’m a writer who writes what God gives. Now, I am in no way implying that no one else writes what God says, nor am I saying that my writing is perfect. But, what I am saying is that, what I write and share, God has instructed me to share. There are times when a particular situation occurs and God gives me a spiritual understanding or explanation of why. Even the most simplistic situations, you know, like buying bananas, c

Busy.
Today, I went to wor The thing about it is, I don’t “feel” busy. And by that, I mean that with ALL THE STUFF THAT I DO (if I listed everything off, you’d ask me if I had or needed an assistant or two, or twelve), I’m never exhausted, I ENJOY what I do, and most times, I feel like I have plenty of time in my day to get it all done. Now, of course I have tired days and spaces where I get crunched for time, but I’m not overwhelmed or frazzled. It hasn’t always been this way. And

Pull Up Those Weeds!
A few weeks ago, my brother preached a message on the Church of Corinth. He spoke on how, although Paul went in and planted “good seeds” with the teachings of Christ, others came in and uprooted all that they’d been taught and then planted seeds of false doctrine. He talked about how this false teaching began to take root in the people of the church, causing them not to know the truth. Toward the end of service, he stated that there were some people that God had to go in and

Who’s Your Daddy???
So, Travis Greene has a new album out called ‘Crossover’ (no, this is not an album promotion). I’ve listened to and enjoyed EVERY song on the album but yesterday, one song caught my attention. The song is called ‘Daddy’s Home’. Now, I’m a daddy’s girl so, only one man holds that title. I have God fathers that I LOVE, and respect but I only call my father, daddy. Other people use the term in different contexts, but we’re not talking about that today. I am 33 years old an

You So Hot…You Shine!!!
Diamonds….are amazing, right??? I mean, they sparkle and shine and if you get a good one (cause some of them aren’t worth what they look), it’ll cost you “a pretty penny”. When couples intend to marry, the groom to be goes looking for the “perfect” diamond to present to the lady in his life. He wants it to be the best that he can offer (you know they say that “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”). Yes, diamonds are gorgeous but they cost. Do you know how a diamond is forme

Because warts are ugly!
Worry Warts….don’t be one…it’s not cute! So, clearly, this post has nothing to do with actual warts…but aren’t you glad?!? Lol…who wants to read about warts? Let alone write about them. Mmmkay…background story….I was a worrier once. Yep…a worrier…I definitely don’t mean warrior! I used to worry about EVERYTHING. In fact, if I wasn’t thinking or worrying about something, I was afraid that I was forgetting something. I was your classic “worry wart”…and my case was ugly!

Can YOU Believe It?
Today, I had a thought, so I posted it. The thought was, “Believe in YOU the way you believe in them.” I posted it, not just to get others thinking, but for myself. You see, I’m a supporter. I am REALLY GOOD at supporting people (I’ve got references). I’m good at sharing their posts, praying for them, being there for them, and at their events, and even volunteering to do stuff. I mean I am an amazing supporter (if I do say so myself). I’m also a pretty good encourager.

You Don’t Need Coconut Oil For That, Girl!
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 Sooooo….I’ve seen a ton of memes that say something regarding coconut oil solving all problems…like the ones I’ve posted below….hence the title of this blog. LOL! Now, if all these were true, there would be a coconut oil shortage and a lot of grease stains EVERYWHERE! The news headline would say, “City in uproar as women pour coconut all over EVERYTHANG!!!” Lol. Uhhh….anyho

Ice Cream Win
It’s summer time, folks! And what does everyone LOVE in the summer??? Yooouuuu guessed it…ICE CREAM!!! Now, I can’t really have regular ice cream (I’m lactose intolerant). In case you didn’t know (which you probably didn’t), my latest food obsession is Halo Top ice cream! It’s amazing because I can eat the ENTIRE pint and it’s under 400 calories AND there is protein in it, so it’s healthy; and it doesn’t make me feel like crap after I eat it. My favorite is the birthday cake

Ain’t No Mountain High Enough!
Yeah…yeah…yeah….I should have been asleep like 5 hours ago, but since I’m up….humor me………. So, in November of 2015, one of my brothers married the love of his life. 🙂 Sweet…I agree…but no, this story isn’t about them (I know you’re bummed…their wedding was GORG! but I don’t really have a story about that). Anyhoo, they were First, let me tell you something that will seem TOTALLY unrelated to this story. I had an extreme fear of driving over water. It was terrible! To th
