I am God's Masterpiece.
I am my ancestors' deepest prayer.
I am my oppressor's worst nightmare.
I am my family's pride.
I am my friends' inspiration.
I am my haters' favorite topic.
I am the devil's biggest threat.
I am now Dr. Ornella Umubyeyi.

They went back to where they left Jesus but He wasnt there.He got UP!
May they not find you where they left you: spiritually, mentally, financially, emotionally
God elevates obedience and humility.
Death is not the end. Get up!
Elevate!
The resurrecting KING is resurrecting YOU!
"No one has ever escaped their chains by
forgetting they were there - Josh Johnson.
When you refuse to acknowledge that you have a cross and pick it up. You will become the cross that others have to pick up.
"Itโs an unwed woman who carries God.
Itโs the pagans from the East who recognize God.
Itโs the workers in the field who hear from God.
Itโs the marginalized neighborhood who welcomes God.
Itโs God who chooses the lowly and the broken to rise.
Christmas is here!"C. Rodriguez
Shame is such a powerful emotion that can shape our perceptions of ourselves, others, and even our experiences and eventually our faith! Join me on IG tomorrow if you can!!
Be careful who you judge today... because of their struggle, issue, or problem could be yours tomorrow, and they might be your only way out! Don't mock Joseph, Esther, David, and Paul because of where you saw them without knowing that they will LEAD you one day!
It's not your responsibility to stay in spaces and with people who make you feel unseen and disrespected. Being so forgiving is not noble when accountability is not on the table!
Sadly, I have seen many people ignore their callings, unattain their potential, and undiscover their purposes because of conformity, uniformity, and fear.
The greatest enemies to our purpose are conformity, uniformity, and fear.
Always a joy to preach on Mother's Day and to honor and remember mothers who went to glory. Happy Mother's Day to all mother figures! (Foster moms, godmother, plant mothers, spiritual mothers, etc.) We celebrate you today and every day ๐
Forgive us, Lord, for times when we love to learn but hate to change.
Forgive us Lord, for times when we desire to change others but refuse to change.
Forgive us Lord, for times when we choose comfort and familiarity over growth.
