The way people respond to a bubbly personality really concerns me. Ever since I was a kid I noticed how people try to break your spirit when you’re too nice, too happy, too outgoing, too friendly. People that wanna know why you’re so gung-ho are unwell and are out to get you
Go deeper in your relationship with God. God knows the perfect version of the woman he's called you to be. The only way to become that woman is by growing in your relationship with God and seeking God above all else ❤️
If you are a good woman, humble and sweet, the devil will come after you through people. He'll lead them to treat you wrong for no reason at all in an attempt to make you hard and rough. He wants to take away that sweet and humble spirit you have. But don't let them do that.
In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.”
The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove.
So I got pissed.
Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids.
Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women.
That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.
Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.
Got out of survival mode. Actually place God first. Let tomorrow worry for itself. Understand God will never leave me nor forsake me, having slower mornings, exercising as a routine instead of goal, eat healthier, stop drinking excessively, journal, more dates alone, etc.
Rage baiting is what Proverbs 26 warns about.
Don’t get pulled into dumb arguments.
And don’t stay silent when truth matters.
Wisdom is knowing when to speak
& when to walk away.

As I have always said, If you have a problem with menstrual blood, then just date a man. Women menstruate it is not news. And sometimes, mistakes will happen.
If you think this little blood messes up your car, then wait till she has to push a baby out in the car while you are stuck in jam rushing to the hospital, you will see real blood.
And if she had a heavy meal before labor begins, Number 2 will actually come out before the baby. So this is nothing lads.
As long as you are straight and love women, then terms and conditions apply.😉 abakyala bazira.
Having four children is very chic. Higher end of normal. Not trad sourdough territory. Big enough so kids can pick btwn siblings, not so big they get lost in the crowd. Can easily imagine a highly educated woman starting in her late 20s or 30s having four children.
One thing I've realized is that, you don't need to vent to your friends about everything that you're going through. Sometimes it's okay to just pray about it and move on. Let it be between you and God.
hosting is a feminine art form in itself. you are opening your home, gathering loved ones who might otherwise never cross paths, creating gorgeous dishes and atmospheres infused with your love, nourishing their bodies and hearts alike, making them feel treasured and seen and cared for, creating an evening they’ll reference for months, if not years to come, all whilst orchestrating complex logistics with sublime ease and grace. the capacity it takes to be genuinely hospitable and execute a gathering beautifully requires a degree of warmth, multidimensional awareness, and most of all, generosity of spirit. it is one of the most potent ways we can 1) express our love, 2) make lasting, lifelong memories, and 3) sustain the bonds that mean the world to us.
Happy Palm Sunday everyone🌿✝️ Today we enter into one of the most sacred and beautiful weeks of our faith…Holy Week. A time to slow down, reflect, and remember the unimaginable love and sacrifice of Jesus. As we walk through these days, may our hearts be softened, our eyes fixed on Him, and our spirits ready to receive the hope of the Resurrection. Praying for you all always, but especially this week. God bless.
Went out for evangelism today and all I’ll say is if God sent you abroad it wasn’t just for greener pastures please
The harvest is plenty, too many people are lost.
Play your part, please.
Changing my gym attire has drastically improved my gym experience. Which is funny, because when the Lord first convicted me of modesty, I struggled with the idea that I no longer could wear my cute & pretty Pilates princess matching sets. But He revealed to me that not only does it leads others around me into sin, but that I too was living in sin. Pride. Vanity. Working out to look good rather than to honor the healthy and able body He has given me.
Dressing more modest in the gym has completely stripped me of my body dysmorphia that I struggled with immensely. But now I so clearly see that my worth was never in how I looked, but based on the fact that God created me perfect in His image.
My wife is one of the best assets to my career. Her insight & guidance has taken me to heights I've never been. A good wife adds favor from the lord 🙏🏾
