Encouragement for the caregivers: You may not be able to stop the bleeding — you can help stop the despair.

You don’t run their lives — you can help them learn to run their emotional/spiritual climate.

You’re the one who helps those under your care find their guidance.

A lot of Christians have conflated the rapture with the second coming of Jesus.

The rapture is actually NOT Bible. Even the concept was stolen and popularized by a European preacher in recent history. Prediction after prediction has been 100% wrong and will continue to be.

People can only meet you as deeply as they've met themselves.

God is there, but Got built us for community. One trick of evil is to convince us we are lone. Suffering is poorly handled alone. Let someone hold space and hold you up if they are willing. Not as a crutch, an assistant burden bearer. This is spiritual and this is love. 🙏🏼

Buying a house after 30 is still a power move. Getting a degree after 35+ is still a valuable step. Changing careers after 40 doesnt mean you were misguided. Getting married after 40 doesnt mean you were broken. You may have "arrived" later but that doesn't mean you failed.

Be careful. Disappointment looks like anger too. Before you say anything take a moment, step back, and sit with your anger before you burn a bridge you cant rebuild.

God: OK, watch me work Im going to show you who they are...

God: 😑
Me: My fault. 😅😅😅

Listen people are doing for more than you with far less competence. And you got the nerve to be insecure!? One of my biggest sources of encouragement is someone else's bad performance. THEY got a book deal?! THEY got engagement!? THEY got the bag!? If THEY can do it...🤷🏽‍♂️🤣🤣

We have allowed mechanisms for survival to become culture. Toxicity has been mistaken for toughness, arrogance mistaken for authority, stubbornness mistaken for strength, and blind resistance for faith. Newer generations arent obsessed w/survival they're obsessed with healing.

For loyal people it often hurts more to cut someone off. Their loyalty is an act of love not obligation. So when loyalty is taken advantage of it's not just their safety, but their ideals of who they've been trusting and the benefit of the doubt they've been giving this person.

ICE COLD FACTS 💥 Pay attention. 👊🏽

((Chaps Thought of the Day)) Not hurting does not mean healed. Lack of pain does not mean you should not be gentle with yourself. It means periodic checks on where you are in the process. It may mean therapy, a doctor's visit, or a quiet weekend w/your own heart, mind, and soul🙏🏼

Genuine kindness doesn't come from pleasing everyone else all the time—it comes from being honest, transparent, and compassionate with yourself first. Here's how to get started. https://t.co/4hslzr62QY

@MrsJellySantos Neighborhood dad does not mean these kids dont have active dads. Doesn't mean hes community 🍆. Neighborhood dad means he's more available communally, supervises play, & may feed them. Boys eat a ton & love attention. This is community love. Thats it. Folks making stuff weird.

Ryan Coogler’s wife paid $300 for his first screenwriting software when he couldn’t afford it.

He now holds the record for the highest-grossing film by a Black director with Black Panther ($1.3 billion) and has a net worth of $25 million.🤯
