This is one of the those weeks. Have you ever had one of those when you need one more of you? Some things can’t be delegated. So here I am squeezing in a few minutes to connect with my WP village and others who take the time to read the reflections of my heart. AsContinue reading “In My Eyes”

This Pain
Many of us might have noticed that some of our millennials and Gen Zs are deliberately opting not to have children. At least, not in their twenties. Their reasons and stories vary. I hear them and no judgement here. However, I’ve lived long enough to see and hear the stories of regrets expressed by seniorsContinue reading “This Pain”
How Sweet it is…!
The title of this popular 1960’s song ‘How sweet it is to be loved by you‘ truly captures how many teachers in our county felt this week. We were celebrated and, at my school, well fed. Most of us don’t do this to be seen or even praised. We show up simply because we loveContinue reading “How Sweet it is…!”
Wisdom Speaks
I remember her then; filled with vigor and vitality – quiet, calm and filled with love and wisdom. It was 1978– that was 45 years ago. Where did the time go? Today she’s 83 years old. Staring at her picture, I wondered what consumed her thoughts back then. Probably, she was concerned about her 4Continue reading “Wisdom Speaks”
Tangled Pieces
Some days my heart and mind feel like a tangled mess. Through my lens, life can appear unfair and perplexing. Like Job in the scriptures, I wonder why things go the way they do when I do my best to do the right thing. Such was my state of mind when I had this candidContinue reading “Tangled Pieces”
Outside of Me
This past Friday as I left work, I felt the desire to call someone to encourage them. As I whispered to God asking Him who might benefit from a conversation with me, a college friend of mine came to mind. I called her. We chatted briefly then I told her why I called. I sharedContinue reading “Outside of Me”
A Mama’s Struggle
Today I felt like sharing what I deem a common struggle that mothers [ fathers too] experience. This past weekend I came face to face with the reality that some of my battles might never cease — I have to learn how to take up my armor daily and go to war. Sometimes the warContinue reading “A Mama’s Struggle”
Final Moments
I’ve been reflecting on those who had the opportunity to be near Jesus during His final moments. The soldier whose ear he healed after it was slashed by one of Jesus’ followers [Matthew 26: 51-52]. What an act of mercy and grace! The soldier didn’t ask for healing or even believed for it. Many ofContinue reading “Final Moments”
The Day After
This is the day after ‘Good Friday’. I imagine the plethora of emotions that drenched the heart and minds of Christ’s followers. His earthly mother probably cried until there was nothing left. I wander what thoughts ran through her mind. The questions she dared ask God. The memories of her son flooded her mind –Continue reading “The Day After”
What’s Good About It?
On the Christian calendar today is Good Friday. What’s good about it? What’s good about betrayal, suffering, death and loss? If we look at things through the eyes of Friday only, we easily forget there’s Sunday. There’s a day coming when Friday makes sense. If you have ever gone through a dark season and cameContinue reading “What’s Good About It?”
