CAE to CAF: Transition Complete

In the fall of 2017, Tyrone and I decided we wanted to get married to each other. Somewhere between October and December, I told my parents, pastors, and close friends.

CAE to CAF 1

This is long, but go with it. During this almost married season, I’ve had to repent to God. Changing my name has REALLY done a number on me. I love that people cleverly comment “OhCAE” on my posts cuz they recognize it from my hashtag. It’s cool when people ask my cash tag and assumeContinue reading “CAE to CAF 1”

Footprints

There was a day back in March when we had a really big snowfall here in Michigan. A couple days later we got rain and sleet and it made a really weird shimmering sheet of ice to cover the snow. The ice was kinda thin. When I stepped on it, it gave way andContinue reading “Footprints”

ASK

When I was 17, I was in the Michigan State University Gospel Choir and we had an engagement at the Kellogg Center on campus. In the vestibule T-shirts were being sold for $15. One of them said “ASK” and had the Ask, Seek, Knock scripture on it. Me being the smartie I can be atContinue reading “ASK”

That’s So Raven!

I used to LOVE That’s So Raven! when I was in high school. I know I know I was too old to be watching a Disney Channel show but I still loved it. If you’ve never seen it, I’ll let you know that Raven is a psychic and she’s a teenager she would get theseContinue reading “That’s So Raven!”
