This week I recently heard these 2 songs, and they sat with me in such a special way. Music is one of my favorite ways of meditating and has been extremely healing in my life.

Courage and bravery are muscles. They don't grow overnight, but over time. You are worthy of the time, effort and energy it takes to strengthen these muscles! At any given moment you can begin again and the page can be turned. Because of Jesus we are never truly stuck!

When I encourage others, when I mentor, teach, minister, coach or counsel - I often pray that people will go further than me and heal even sooner than I did.

God will love you all the way into eternity. God will never be fed up with you. God will never trade you in when He gets tired. God doesn’t get tired, and He will never get tired of you.

I finally got a chance to see the movie “Encanto” tonight, and of course I wept like the crybaby I am. These days I’m surprised I even have any tear ducts left. I don’t want to spoil the movie for anyone who hasn’t seen it, but here’s the trailer. I suggest seeing it as soon as possible, although you will still be able to enjoy this blog post regardless.

"God Who promised us IS faithful." - (Hebrews 10:23) You don't have to manufacture hope, faith, joy or anything in this world. The Holy Spirit is The One Who will produce all these things and more IN us and FOR us (for free). GOD Who promised us IS faithful. You are not in this life by yourself with God on the other side waving and telling us He'll see us at the end. NO- God is on the same side we are on.

Sometimes the person we need to forgive the most is ourselves.

We are finally back with new posts on my blog! It's been such an eventful time and I'm ecstatic to share some about what I've been up to and what's on my heart. I wanted to share this terrific post from my dear friend and one of my big encouragers Tyler Shelton. He's been tapping into some very beautiful grace, truth and wisdom about men’s true identity in Christ Jesus and what it means to be a son of God. It's been a joy to sit on the sidelines and watch him BEcome who he's always been destined to be before time even began!

I am beyond thrilled to announce the worldwide release of my brand new original song “Melanin Queen” out now! This song was written by me and produced by Alberto Merelo and The Kwakes. When I was growing up for many years of my life I didn’t feel truly confident in my skin and body.

There is not enough meditation, fasting, tithing, reading the bible, praying, positive thinking or speaking, crystals, essential oils, healthy eating, training, hypnotism, retreats, good karma, dream dictionaries, astrology, conferences, yoga, volunteering, prophets, rituals, psychics, healers, guides or anything in this world that can remove FEAR from a human being’s heart. I have tried and there was only temporary relief followed by more torment.

MYTH: “God helps those who help themselves!”
TRUTH: God helped me when I had nothing to give or anything to call my own…
Even though I grew up in church and have been around ministry my whole life, I have found it very difficult to fully immerse myself in it (and even call myself a minister or spiritual leader) because I have often felt like I don't fit many of the long held traditions, beliefs and appearances.

Late night thoughts...
You are not too much for God to handle. You are not too broken for God to heal. God is not angry at you. God is not ignoring you. God has not forgotten about you. God is not far from you. God is closer than the air you breathe. God is always thinking of you.
Spiritual maturity is not based on how long you've been saved (or how long you've known God), how many bible verses and bible stories you've memorized, how long you can fast, how many times you pray each day, how much money you give, how talented and gifted you are, how many missions trips you go on, how long you can meditate, how many people you preach or evangelize to...this list can go on and on.
