Somewhere in your 20s or 30s you'll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop, heal from what broke you, live in your own space, reconnect with your discipline, and learn to love yourself again. It's very important that you see that journey through.
Dear Lord,
Today, I declare that the Holy Spirit is at work in me. Nothing is too hard for me to do. I am blessed, empowered, strengthened and enlightened. Against all odds, my heart is guarded. My mind shall be fruitful and innovative. I will prosper. In Jesus’ name. Amen🙏🏾
Lord we've learned that it can't be our way, it's got to be your way or no way at all. We're learning patience & how to truly listen. We also know that it ain't gonna be easy & we wouldn't appreciate it if it was. We trust u Lord. #COACHPRIME
Derek Chauvin, police officer sworn to protect and serve, pressed his knee into George Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes, betrayed the public trust, and helped ignite a global reckoning on police brutality. He was sentenced to 22 years.
Karmelo Anthony, a Black teenager, involved in a confrontation that ended in tragedy was sentenced to 35 years.
Whether you agree with every aspect of either case is not the point. The question is why America reserves its harshest punishments for Black defendants while extending greater grace, understanding, and leniency to white ones.
Justice cannot be blind if race continues to shape who is viewed as a threat, who is viewed as redeemable, and whose life is considered worthy of empathy.
The disparity speaks for itself.
