Romans 8:28 and 1 Corinthians 1:26-31. My life can be summed up in those two verses.

I looked out at the vastness of the water & was reminded that we all have a unique purpose. In that truth, I stood FIRM beside the remarkable fallen tree. Admired the roots of the tree miraculously still standing. Understood it was because 1 had been prepared; the other had not.

Happy Thursday!! Minnesota has officially declared April as #SecondChanceMonth. 🙌 Thank you @GovTimWalz & @LtGovFlanagan for believing in the dignity and potential of men and women with a criminal record.

We believe prisons can be transformed into places where people can learn and practice the values of good citizenship. See how the @prisonfellowshp Academy creates change agents inside and outside of #prison. #ChangeBehindBars https://t.co/mG7axVCwC9

This afternoon, Wells Alternative Middle School held a ribbon cutting for the school’s new sensory room which will provide students with a calm environment where they can go to self-regulate. Several staff members helped spearhead the project.

Congress passed the Law Enforcement De-Escalation Training Act, and it is now up to @POTUS to sign it. Ask @POTUS to give police officers access to quality training to serve vulnerable populations better and keep our communities safe. @JusticeReform https://t.co/pjePT7SCOy

@raoulvilla My almost 20 y.o. just asked me why *I* get to dictate the temperature of the house. I said, “My kids’ comfort is no longer my concern.” That she’d have that authority in her OWN place, if she chose. Ngl… it felt GREAT to close that chapter! 😂 #petty👸🏽 #reclaimingmythermostat

We gotta deal with our stuff. If we don’t want to repeat the same cycle and do the same things to others that have been done to us, we’ve gotta seriously deal. We won’t just naturally turn out differently. Be brave. Let God go to the deep with you, to what’s broken. Seek therapy.

@heymrsbond This September has been a longgg *year* 😩 How has it only been 5 weeks!? I rarely make note of the date while teaching, but I made a point to mention that it was FINALLY the last day of September. 🗓 In each class. 😂

What is it that you don't think you can do? What do you think is too big for you? Or too scary, or too risky? Sometimes God whispers it, and sometimes, he shouts it. Whatever the volume, I bet he's always using the same three words with us: Be Not Afraid.

@BrandiesBrain @MartsTai @BigNeyogems Can I say how y’all handled this is a VIBE? 😭🙌🏽♥️💪🏽💯

[Lakesha Pickering @trulieblessd]

@KillKeaundre @xxssaammiiee @jvde_bxtch @deb_0rah1 @tnicolebolton @BigNeyogems I’m weak! Imagining my big ol’ bobble-headed self hitting them corners doing 80 to dodge the projectile shoe. 💀 She wasn’t gonna get up. 😂 But heaven help us all if she had to. 😭🙏🏽😮‍💨 This would just have to be life. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤣
