Keep Dreaming

One of my favorite stories in the Bible, is found in Genesis 37. It’s the story of Joseph, the son of Jacob and Rachel. Before you run, I’m not going to preach a sermon, but I want you to understand the importance of “sharing your dreams”. Joseph was the youngest of 12 boys, and also […]

Eventually, you’ll come out!

For years, I was in a deep dark hole and I didn’t know if I’d ever come out or slide farther in. However, what I did know was, no matter what I was facing, I couldn’t let it swallow me up! I haven’t been the most vocal when it comes to Mental Awareness, but no […]

If you move, they’ll fall

I can remember as child, “testing my faith” (I didn’t realize that’s what it was back then), while playing a game with my acquaintances. I’d close my eyes and fall back, “trusting” (and praying like hell) that the person behind me would catch me. Just as I was falling back, it felt like I was […]

Finishing the puzzle

Have you ever met a woman that was so desperate for love, she gave up her entire being just for the corner of a man’s heart? The old saying goes, “A piece of a man is better than no man”. But, no man is worth having if he doesn’t add to a woman’s life, but […]

When you leave “we” for “me”

The woman I am becoming is going to upset some people, cost me a few family members, friendships and relationships, but I’m perfectly okay with that, because in the end, I choose ME! ~ Deetra La’Rue This afternoon as I was reading my daily devotions, I read that “Those who pursue God’s purpose will always […]

Judge if you may!

***Disclaimer*** This post is not intended to push the “agenda of God” on anyone. You can read to understand my position, but whatever you do, don’t try to change it! When I talk about God or reference Him “too much”, I’m met with eye rolls, stares of disgust and uncomfortableness (from them, not me). Quickly, […]

Strength in numbers: When women stick together!

“As women, we should always be connected to each other, because our chains are much stronger when linked together”. ~ Deetra La’Rue Ever rode a bike and then you heard this “clink, clink clink” noise, only to look down and see that the chain had come apart? Were you able to keep riding or if […]

Success: When you don’t know how to feel!

I feel overwhelmed! I’m getting all the things I’ve always prayed to God for, but now I don’t know how to process it all. Everything that I’ve prayed years for, is happening so fast, literally right after another, and before I can enjoy one blessing, I’m met with another. This is NOT a complaint or […]

Cinderella ain’t dead!

Keep dreaming….happy endings still come true! ~Deetra La’Rue I’m a hopeless romantic, sometimes a little too hopeful, strung out on the idea of being in love. There was a point in time in which I thought I was, but the idea quickly faded, soon after he did. I can remember experiencing what I thought to be my Prince Charming, however, he […]
