This is part two of my social justice plead to the church entitled Let's Talk About It. (If you haven't already done so, stop now and read that one first.) I'm writing this because the lack of dialogue continues but this time I have questions. What does MAGA really mean? At what point in American … Continue reading Let’s Talk About It: Part II
Leaving the Glass Shop
It finally happened and I can hardly believe it. I finally landed a new job which means finally leaving the cafe. When I started as a server I had it in mind that this would be temporary. The cafe would keep me occupied and provide some income until I found another job. Finding another job … Continue reading Leaving the Glass Shop
The Little Things
I recently got my hair cut by a stylist that I've never been to before. Talk about faith and adventure, but I was optimistic. Besides, its just hair. It'll grow back. I was excitedly anticipating this cut because it's been a while. Though my long curly locs are beautiful they can also be cumbersome. Not … Continue reading The Little Things
Nightvision
I've been wanting to write about my current stage in life because it feels intense and pivotal, but I find it difficult to express in words so this is my best effort. Honestly, my emotions are up and down daily, sometimes hourly or even from situation to situation. At times I feel extremely frustrated to … Continue reading Nightvision
Kingdom ROI
What most people don't realize is that there are 4 types of giving in the Bible (First Fruits, the tithe, offerings, and alms). Each type of giving has a different motivation, purpose, and return on investment. People don't see their giving "working" because we often mix up these types of giving.
First Steps First
I recently took a step and ordered business cards. It's something I've been wanting to do for quite some time. I was gifted a beautifully engraved card case about a year ago that I take out of the box and just hold from time to time even though it was empty. Each time I would … Continue reading First Steps First
Reaching for the Top
As I was perusing a used bookstore a while ago when a particular book caught my eye. Truth be told I wasn't exactly perusing, I was on a mission. I'm the type of person that can walk into the mall or Walmart and get exactly what I came for and not even stop to look at … Continue reading Reaching for the Top
Let’s Talk About It
The contents of this blog has been burning in me for quite some time now, two years or more. This is a topic that I'm passionate about but didn't have an outlet or the courage to speak on it, until now. I've been waiting for the opportunity to have this dialogue but it has yet … Continue reading Let’s Talk About It
Don’t Fill Up on Bread
I love going out to eat, especially with friends. What I don't love is that time period between ordering and receiving my meal. During this time most of us keep our stomachs and mouths occupied by munching on bread. If you aren't careful, you won't have enough room left for your entree. Of course, you can get … Continue reading Don’t Fill Up on Bread
Glasses
A little boy came into the cafe the other day and he was wearing his glasses on his forehead. A coworker commented, "I don't think he likes his glasses." The boy was little, around 4 years old. I don't want to say he was cross-eyed but you could look at him and tell he has trouble seeing, yet he refused … Continue reading Glasses
