Plies dropped a verse on Spend Dat. He said “I ain’t buying a bitch a purse, that’s lil boy shit. I’ma send ya kids to college, I do raw shit.”
That’s the Plies I remember.
Mercy is when you can't even explain how you're surviving, but you are. You don't have it all figured out, but each day, God sends help right when you need it. Hallelujah.
I urge you to study Joseph in the book of Genesis 41. One moment he was in prison, and the next he stood in the palace. God can change your story in one conversation, one opportunity, one favor-filled moment. Never underestimate what God can do suddenly.
I fell in love with this scripture:
“There will come a time when your tears will fall, not because of your troubles, but because God has answered your prayers.”
— 𝖧𝖠𝖡𝖠𝖪𝖪𝖴𝖪 𝟤:𝟥
You cannot:
Work full time, raise children, keep a spotless home, show up fully in your marriage, maintain friendships, stay fit, build wealth, read books, pursue hobbies, serve only home cooked meals, answer every email, and still make the 3:30 school pickup.
That standard was created to keep you exhausted and blaming yourself. Let it go.
