He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ -Luke 24:6‭-‬7 NIV

Gracious and merciful Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior

Help us never to take for granted this huge gift of love on our behalf. Your death. Your crucifixion. Help us to be reminded of the cost of it all. The beauty in it all. The love in it all. Forgive us for being too busy or distracted by other things for not fully recognizing what you freely have given and what you have done for us.

Thank you, Lord, that by your wounds, we are healed. Thank you that because of your loving sacrifice, we can live freely. Thank you that sin and death have been conquered and that your power is everlasting.

Lord Jesus, we don’t deserve you. Never have, never will. It is truly a blessing, a privilege, and an honor to have been saved by you. Thank you.

Bless your name, Lord. In your holy, righteous, and sovereign name, Amen.

Good Friday 2023 🖤

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

-Isaiah 53:5‭-‬6 NIV

Dear Father God,

Today, we remember the pain and suffering at Calvary and all that our savior Jesus Christ was willing to endure so we could be set free from our sins. He paid the price, such a great sacrifice, to offer us the gift of eternal life. Thank you for your son, our Lord, and savior.

In honor of Jesus’s crucifixion and sacrifice, may this world and social media go dark to honor his death.

May every knee bow.

Amen.

Thursday Re-Cap:

🫠 Random dream about the rapper Gunna.
😭 Left work early, major grief melt-down.
👑 Momma talked me off the ledge.
😋 Ate homemade chili in my HRC mug.
🤮 Dog puked and tried to eat it.
🥰 Watched Chicago P.D.
🙌🏼 Spent quality time with God.

Father God, continue to heal me. Continue to allow me to sit with these uncomfortable emotions, have these difficult conversations and sort through these painful feelings. Continue to force me to sit in my grief and loss because I ran from it for far too long. Continue to use my solitude for my healing. And Father, continue to use me to serve, inspire and help your people. May your will and only your will manifest and be done.

In Jesus’s sovereign, righteous and holy name, Amen.

Happy Mother’s Day 👑♥️

Happy Mother’s Day to the realest one on my team. Ten toes down no matter what. You told me I could survive and continue living without my late husband and be successful on my own. Never forgetting the mark he left but becoming my own woman. You told me it was okay to grieve, remember and honor him privately because none of that has to be done for the audience of social media. That my complicated grief and remembrance could be private and sacred.

You told me out of love that last little relationship wasn’t going to work because you can’t love people into their potential, they have to want it for themselves. You told me when someone shows you who they are believe them and don’t try to gaslight myself into believing differently. His loss.

You told me you admired my calling to serve other people but, to not set myself on fire to keep other people warm. You gave me your strength, many times when you had none for yourself.

You taught me the true meaning of “it is what it is”. You taught me the true meaning of “cry, then boss up”. You taught me that this world doesn’t owe me anything, but I owe myself everything.

You made me want to live again.

Happy Mother’s Day. Because with you, you deserve to be celebrated all days. I love you more than anything, even LaRoyce Hawkins. 🫶🏼♥️🎀
