This is my Hallelujah praise 🙌🏾🙌🏾
8 days ago was the launch of the first .co V-Day
And I KNOW it wasn’t NOTHING BUT GOD
If you knew what I experienced prior to this day you would understand my praise
So many times I wanted to call it quits ✌🏾
So many times I did call it quits y’all just didn’t know it lol
But I’m glad that I didn’t though
So much rebuilding and remolding came from this event
If not anyone I know that I had a breakthrough
I’m truly much more focused and connected
Because the way I was before this event…
Imma need to cover that in a vlog lol
But I thank God for His strength that allowed me to push through and move forward with such a great and successful event. All Glory to God!

This is what saved but savage looks like lol Mary with a little bit of Megan AH 😜

Don’t get me wrong I strive to be Christ-like ery day! And I take it as a compliment to be called super deep because of my goldy perspective on things but do not judge me if you see me bumping Megan Thee Stallion or Da Baby every once in awhile. Keep in mind that I don’t let the things of the world consume me though. I fill myself with the Word of God and the things of God far more than I do secular music. What you fill yourself with will be your influence and I only want to be god influenced!

They say the summertime is when people start acting up and lose their salvation so y’all let’s keep striving to be saved out here in these summertime streets lol

When I was pregnant I was told that I had gestational diabetes. As my husband and I sat with a diabetes counselor I’ve never fought so hard not to cry. Mad at myself thinking I should of stayed vegan or at least got back in shape before getting pregnant. Then emotional hearing the lies that our baby might be bigger than normal and that big babies like that carry their weight in their shoulders and they sometimes have to break the babies shoulders to get them out 😭 Talk about insensitivity at its max!!!

I had to prick my fingers 3x a day to record my sugar numbers and report them to my midwife every week. One doctor mentioned putting me on insulin and I had to tell her straight up that it wasn’t happening. Even the 4D ultrasound lady made it seem like our baby was goin to be huge! In those moments I had to remember who I was - A child of God! So, what the world says doesn’t apply to me because I have supernatural favor and protection. I was not going to believe nor speak what they were saying. I knew that God has only good for me and my family so that’s what I believed and spoke.

I want to encourage anyone that has been told something contrary to what God has said. Do not believe nor speak the lies of the world. Even if it seems like it’s the only way or more than one person says it. God is superior, supernatural, and the Creator of all things and He can make even the unknown happen when you believe and speak with your whole heart ❤️ Not only was Babygirl born with an average weight she came out and still is healthy as ever! And my whole delivery process was a breeze. I didn’t feel 1 contraction and I pushed babygirl right out in only 4 pushes. All Glory to God for that type of strength!

But for real it was hard to avoid carbs&sugar during my pregnancy so when our amazing baby shower planners did a cupcake buffet I felt like this was my moment to indulge. Shoutout to all the cupcake bakers! They were all so beautiful and bomb🧁 Ladies, feel free to tag them!

The greatest thing I could ever give my daughter is a strong Christian foundation. That way as she grows she will learn God and the love He has for her for herself. This will ultimately grow her closer to God and into the path He has for her life. I know first hand the importance of having a personal relationship with God at a young age and therefore I will make sure she has one as well.

My dad has definitely spoiled me but the greatest gift he’s ever given me was a Christian foundation. And because of that I fell in love with God at an early age. So, I definitely thank him for raising me in church as a little girl. Now that I think about it that’s probably why I love singing worship songs so much because I sung in the church choir growing up. I may be still working on my tone lol but every since I was a little girl I give it my all when I sing to the Most High! I pour my heart out to God in my praise and worship! Having that type of love for God and foundation at an early age saved my soul at my older age. In my early 20’s I began to separate myself from God by willfully sinning and back sliding. However, in the midst of it all in my heart I still knew my foundation. I knew my personal experiences I had with God. I knew how real God is. No matter how many times I tried to stray away my foundation always sent me back to where I belong- In the arms of God. “Direct your child in a way she should go [teaching her to seek God’s wisdom and will for her abilities and talents]. Even when she is old she will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

This book “Bible blessings for your baby girl” is one of the baby shower gifts that I hold very close to my heart. When I first saw this I was so excited to sow into my daughters life with the Word of God and I still have that same excitement when I read it to her at night. Shoutout to for this book! You really know the foundation and heart of your best friend 💕 Alaya and I love you always!

Lately I’ve been feeling far from a Super Mama, Super Wife or even a Super Woman in general. It got harder to get up early. I wasn’t giving myself me time. I felt like I was getting pulled in all different directions. I didn’t know where the time was going. I looked back at my weeks and felt like “what exciting did I even accomplish?” This experience reminded me that God is the Super One, that He is the One with all power and that my strength comes from Him. During this time I wasn’t leaning on God for my strength. I was making moves without guidance and that led me to being drained and overwhelmed.

So, Yesterday I kneeled in prayer (which I haven’t prayed on my knees in awhile) asking for forgiveness for prioritizing everything else above Him and just telling God how much I love Him and how much He means to me. Doing so I immediately felt everything I was carrying lifted. I know there isn’t a formal way of praying but yesterday I felt the benefits of kneeling before the Father in prayer. And I would do it every day again and again just to be in His presence and feel that hug from Him every day. I thank God for His grace and His love that despite me not prioritizing Him like I should He’s still there for me with no condemnation. He just gently took my burdens and gave me a big ol hug. God, I thank you! You are so amazing!

If you haven’t felt the love of the Father and that big ol huge He has waiting for you I really encourage you to kneel before Him and have that personal one on one encounter with Him. It is so life changing and you’ll grow a closer relationship with Him because you’ll get know the type of unconditional love He has for you. And there is no relationship more meaningful, loving and fulfilling than the one you have with the Father. ❤️

Former Single Me: “Lord whoever my husband is please let him love heat like I do.” Current Married Me: (As Pictured. Wearing a sweater in the house in the summer time lol).

Granted I know I can be OD when it comes to the heat but I hate feeling any chill of coldness. I’m the friend that gets tagged in Snuggie memes and the one that always has a space heater on because I’m always cold. It just feels so much better when I have the heat on blast. And secretly I wanted my future husband to feel the same way so that I wouldn’t have to adjust. I was not trying to compromise on my heat! That sounds a little selfish when I put it in that perspective huh?

Although, RJ and I quickly learned that our preferred temperatures were completely opposite we still chose each other. Marriage isn’t about apposing what you want on your spouse just so you can have the perfect picture you envision or vice versa. Marriage is about adjusting and working together to create the perfect picture that God envisions for your marriage. If either of you don’t make adjustments how can you help make each other become better? Willingly compromising on my beloved heat has taught me a lot and has made me more open to adjusting. Because yea y’all I used to be a little selfish lol But when you work together at your marriage you reap the benefits of marriage so I thank God for His grace and Zaddy for his patience ❤️

This is the way God laughed at our 2020 plans lol During this pandemic God has really showed us that His plans overrides ours. Who would of thought some of our favorite stores would be closed, events would get postponed and sports would even be cancelled.

I had some big plans scheduled and actually prepared for 2020! And who else knows how proud and accomplished it feels when you actually have all your ducks in a row for a plan but then something out of your control happens. We try our best to still follow our initial plan because we don’t want all the time, energy and money we invested to be wasted. But this time I chose to embrace the altered plan. Even though I feel like my plan is 6 months delayed I know that it is right on time for God and if there’s anything I’ve learned in life it is to follow and trust God’s plan.

Following God’s plan brings the most effective results. Have you noticed that when you try to override God’s plan with your own it isn’t as successful, a lot more stressful and you aren’t even at peace with it. “That lineup though” is something I used to say when God has seamlessly ordered somebody’s steps so perfectly simply because they followed His plan. There is so much favor and abundance in your own personal line up that God has waiting for you if you just follow and trust His plan. Share your personal stories about trusting God’s plan below.

Stop & Smell the roses.

I treated myself to flowers today. It’s funny because I used to hate flowers. My thoughts were “They die, they stink.” I would even low key be mad if someone sent me flowers at work because I would have to carry a big ole vase and put them in my car and drive carefully (ungrateful I know 🤦🏽‍♀️). They just were inconvenient and didn’t really serve a purpose to me. Now years later I realized that I just didn’t take the time for the little things. I didn’t take the time to appreciate. I didn’t take the time to nurture. To be present. To take in the day. To pay attention to the details. The beautiful little things. To be calm. Not anxious.

Sometimes my days would just be a big blur because I didn’t take in moments. A lot of reasons why I having been consistent with blogging because I haven’t been stopping to smell the roses in my life. Or stopping to appreciate the beautiful things I’m blessed with in my daily life. I’m going to treat myself to flowers more often as a reminder to stop and appreciate the beauty of the roses in my life.

I know there’s so much going on in our day to day lives but let’s take time to appreciate. Take time to nurture. Take time to smile. Take time to laugh. Take time to love 💕

MY Vision Board I did back in 2015. I call this MY Vision Board because it wasn’t GOD’S Vision Board. I used to love this vision board until now. Until I surrendered myself to God and realized that this board was created out of self and not driven by God. Until I realized I wanted God’s vision for my life more than my own.
•
So much was wrong with this vision. I had no clarity. I wasn’t asking God for direction I was just praying that He gives me what I wanted. I wanted my vision, my dream and for the Lord to just follow along with my plans I had for my life. I wasn’t even concerned about the plans He had for me. But I was more faithful to Brunch and bottomless mimosas than studying Bible. And oh I kept it cute but I wasn’t praying. And Church where?? I don’t think I went to church the entire 2015. That’s the longest I’ve ever not been in church. And I had the nerve to wonder why my vision was blurred. I’m not saying that the attendance of Church alone is what matters but getting spiritually fed does and I wasn’t doing that at home either.

Everything felt like a struggle. I was renting a luxury apartment to could barely even afford. Sleeping on an air mattress. Eating one meal a day because I had to save the other $9 to eat the next day. I was still applying to grad school and still getting rejected. I applied to the same job multiple times because I was so pressed to make something in my life happen. I wanted God to get me into grad school with a full ride. Grow my natural hair to my knees. Drop a million dollar check in my mailbox so I can afford to move to NYC. Bless me with a job where I could afford all my bills, shop until I drop, eat sweetgreen 3x a day and work from home. I wanted Him to do all this for me and some! But what did I do for Him lately?? I was forcing so much in my life to go the way I wanted to go that I didn’t give God control. And that’s not a vision that’s blindness. If I had just given myself to God first and foremost my vision would of been clear because it would of been His vision and His vision is far more better than mine.

So I’ll leave you with this. With what all you’re asking from God, what have you given Him?

Becoming a mother will bring out those special things that's within us that we didn't realize we had or that we were just too scared to uncover. I was a little nervous when I found out I was having a girl. I felt that I wasn't yet the woman I fully wanted to be yet. When it came to being a future mom to a girl I wasn't yet satisfied with the level of woman that I was. I thought, how can I be the best example for her if I'm not yet at my best? There were so many things I felt like I wanted to learn and grow from before being a mom to a girl. But having her really brought some special things out of me that I've covered up over the years and even brought out some new things I didn't realize I had within me. Having my babygirl forced me to become the woman that was already within me. Thank you God for sending my Babygirl 🌻
