When the Bible says “do not lean on your own understanding”, take it seriously. Our hearts are deceitful, our emotions fluctuate and our understanding doesn’t see the big picture. God never lies. God never changes. God knows all. Trust Him.

@TfL are these the kind of people you employ ?? Talking so disgustingly to an elderly women because she wanted directions ? He should be sacked and never allowed to work with ppl again if he can’t even have compassion for the vulnerable.

This is what a black person sounds like when they’re well educated well informed and not ignorant.

“Can I bring my baby to the interview?”

The message came in at 11 PM:

“Hi, I have an interview with you tomorrow at 2 PM. My childcare fell through. Can I bring my 8-month-old? I understand if you need to reschedule.”

Old me would have rescheduled.
Unprofessional. Distraction. Red flag.

New me replied:
“Absolutely. See you tomorrow.”

She showed up with her baby on her hip.
She apologized three times before even sitting down.

Ten minutes in, the baby started crying.
She tried to soothe him while answering questions.
She apologized again.

I stopped the interview and said:

“Hey. You’re managing a fussy baby, answering complex questions, and staying calm under pressure. That’s literally the job. Handling chaos while staying professional. You’re already proving you can do it.”

Her eyes filled with tears.

We hired her.

She’s been with us for a year now.
The most reliable team member we have.

Why?

Because when you’re used to handling a screaming infant at 3 AM and still showing up to work the next day, workplace stress feels like nothing.

Working parents, especially mothers, are some of the most organized, efficient, and resilient people you’ll ever hire.

Yet we lose them because our hiring processes are built for people with zero caregiving responsibilities.

If your interview process can’t accommodate a parent facing a childcare issue, you’re not filtering for professionalism.

You’re filtering for privilege.

Jill Scott on cutting toxic people off:

“At this age, my sword is hot, it's sharp. It's black so you can't see it in the dark, And it will cauterize before you know you're dead, and I have no negative feelings about it.”

It takes some genuine, unrelenting faith to wake up to the same storm, the same unanswered prayer, in the same unchanged situation, and still say with confidence, “Lord, You are faithful and I still trust You.”🥹

Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit - Psalms 51:10-12

i can never look at my life, the community i have, the love i get to experience and the joy that comes my way everyday and not see God.

[CeCe Winans @cecewinans]

The generations coming after us don’t deserve to inherit lukewarm faith. Our kids, and every young believer watching our lives, need to see what full devotion to Jesus looks like. Your obedience, your surrender, and your “all in” lifestyle will shape their future.

One thing I finally accepted is I’M NOT OBLIGATED TO. I don’t have to overextend myself. I don’t have to swallow my pride and be the bigger person every time. I don’t have to repair what I didn’t damage. I don’t have to check on people who don’t check on me. I don’t have to sacrifice my peace trying to please everybody.

This year made me realize I can live without people, I’ll miss them but I’ll be fine

[feyisayo 💸 @feyiszn]

sometimes even an apology can’t fix what happened because the real issue is not the mistake, it’s the part of your character that allowed you to do it in the first place. and you can’t apologize for character.
