First day of work begins so it’s time to start measuring and cutting wood. I’m all over the measurements. Hand me the tape and a pencil and I gotchu. After a few tutorials, my sis Krystle takes over the sawing. It was really exciting! She took a break for a second and someone bumped intoContinue reading “Everything Is Fixable”

No One Gets to Make Me Be Someone I’m Not
I have to resist the urge to stop people midsentence every time I hear them say that something “made” them react a certain way. Example: “You made me mad when you…” “He made me yell at him cuz he yelled at me first.” Ya’ll with me? The reality is this, no one can MAKE youContinue reading “No One Gets to Make Me Be Someone I’m Not”
Hope Is Painful
…But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. That scripture convicts me to think bigger and increase my willingness to believe in what I haven’t seen. But can we just take aContinue reading “Hope Is Painful”
This Is Us, But Mainly Kevin
This is Us, But Mainly Kevin… Kevin is a straight rich white man who has straight rich white man problems. OhCAE, the end. You still here?

It Was Never Just About You
I had a conversation recently and while we were talking, I immediately felt more peace. Because in that moment, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper to me “It was never just about you.” That was an insanely profound moment for me. One of my repeated prayers has been to just understand the purpose for someContinue reading “It Was Never Just About You”
Free People, Free People
The other morning, I woke up with some special people on my mind. Those people are people like me who never fit into gender stereotypes and have felt less womanly or manly because of it. So, like most millennials I took to Facebook to express. It was a stream of thoughts. I’m gonna post themContinue reading “Free People, Free People”
You Can Actually Do It All
Who are you? Why are you? What do you do? Why do you do what you do? Answer those. What’d you say for “What do you do?” More than likely you answered with your job. Our culture teaches us to place our value and find our identity in our occupation. Think about it. As aContinue reading “You Can Actually Do It All”
