On Saturday night, I was scrolling through Youtube and noticed a video with an interesting title; I couldn’t remember the exact title, but it was about how we shouldn’t pray out loud. Come again? Say what? I didn’t watch the … Continue reading Warning: Don’t Pray Out Loud!
Here’s another example of how God answered my prayer and helped me with an enemy. I would chit-chat with a coworker named Jane* at an office I used to work at several years ago.

A couple of weeks ago, I thought about how God helped me with my enemies when I worked at a community college years ago. I was a notetaker for students with disabilities and whenever I was assigned a particular student, … Continue reading Remembering How God Answers Prayers and Handles Our Enemies–Part One
In this video, I discuss: Rainbowland Song banned at a Wisconsin School Transgender Healthcare will not work. The rainbow belongs to God. Stop seeking acceptance from man/this world. Continue reading Rainbowland Song Banned, etc.
I’ve read the story of Nehemiah several times and this time (you can check out my previous blog post about Nehemiah here), I was amazed to see how it related to my current situation. I’ve been working on staying close to God, reading my bible a little more, trying to remember who He is and not believe lies from the enemy about God, myself, and what God has promised me.

Last month, I watched my favorite movie, The Ten Commandments. I’ve written about this movie before but after watching it again, I’ve gained some wisdom and insight about a few more scenes:

For the past couple of months, I would get stressed out when I listened to or watched constant news coverage about COVID-19, numbers of deaths and infected persons, business closures, job losses, possible food shortages, etc. Even now, I sometimes think, “Wow, I can’t believe we’re going through this” because I never imagined seeing anything like this occur in my lifetime.

My favorite show is Death in Paradise on channel 11. It’s a mystery/whodunnit type show in the Caribbean where the detective figures out who killed who by the end of the show. I like the characters and the scenery reminds me of when I went to Jamaica years ago. My hair has grown quite a bit since I chopped my locs off last year. I can’t believe that next month will make 1 year! Caring for my hair at this length has been waaaaay less time consuming. I’ve been longing to get back to creative activities and to find … Continue reading Random Thoughts/Updates–What I’ve Been Up To
A few weekends ago, I found myself missing a previous vehicle that I traded in—a 2015 cayenne red Nissan Altima. I had purchased a compact SUV several months ago and while there were a few minor nuisances that I wasn’t fond of (aka first world problems), but overall, I was happy with my purchase. I had gotten the SUV because I wanted something that could handle the snow; I also wanted something that could haul thrift store purchases—tables, chairs, etc.—whenever I went shopping with my mom. There were technological features that I wanted—remote start, blind spot warning, all around … Continue reading Saved from Temptation
Thank God for allowing me to make it to a new year! The months of November and December have been difficult spiritually—the enemy was whispering various lies in my ear and as a result of not having God’s word/truth rooted in me, I started questioning and doubting my salvation. I even questioned God’s character because I thought He was instructing me to do one thing (He would tell me to “stand up” against the lies and deception) and then saying I should do something else (the words “sit down” constantly came to me, especially when I would use His word to come against the lies that were hurled at me. Wasn’t I supposed to fight with His word? Was I supposed to be completely passive and wait on Him to do everything?).
