55 years
Today I attended a medical symposium, and was blown away by the wealth of information received. No, I’m not switching professions, but my current one does involve me working with animal healthcare professionals quite often. While in one of the sessions, one of the Veterinarians was sharing a story on what prompted her to pursue […]

Lift as you climb
As you go up, take someone with you, and don’t leave them to fend for themselves If God gave you the tools and resources to assist, pay it forward and help someone else Sometimes your generosity can determine your altitude, so don’t get too cocky when you notice the incline Instead use your position to […]

Losing joy for the dream
“Sis, I don’t think Nursing is for me. I’ve always wanted to be one, but I can’t pass the entrance to get into college, no matter how much I try or apply,” were the words my church sister said to me on the phone. “How is it that something you’ve always dreamed of doing and […]

Coming out gold
Within the last couple of weeks, I’ve spent a great bit of time talking about the wilderness, being pruned, and refined. I’ve been led to speak extensively on these areas, because a lot of people are either in this stage of their lives, about to enter it, or leave out, and the last thing I […]

Do not pass go
When I was a child, one of the luxurious I had was playing board games with my sisters. We didn’t have much, but what we did have, we made the most of it. If there are any board gamers, you’re very much aware that, Monopoly was the game to play. There was always a struggle […]

You’d think that after years of bitterness, malice and holding a grudge, you’d be over it by now, but […]

Uncomfortable Growth
When people are uncomfortable with your growth, eventually they’ll go. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve known them or the capacity in which you’ve known them, people will scatter once they see you climbing the ladder.

Before is better than after
Before I started my new job recently, I remember a few months back, contemplating going back to my old workplace (the one that eliminated my position). I was so fed up with working for the temp agency, that I thought anything (especially the old thing) was better than what I was doing. I started complaining […]

Pack your bags, we’re leaving Egypt
If you’re smart, when I advised you yesterday to pack your bags, you moved expeditiously and did as you were rightfully told. However, for those of you who couldn’t, not because of fear, but disbelief, I want to help you before you decide to overstay your welcome. You can’t stay in a place that is […]

Demo Day!
Last week, I spoke in depth about how God will deliberately lead and take you through the wilderness on purpose. While the operative word is through, I know people (including myself) who try to make their stay permanent. As a result of their disbelief and how long it’s taking them to reach their exodus, mentally […]
