God, thank You for the gift of a new day. Instead of focusing on the frustrating things in life, I choose to be at peace in You and rejoice and be glad in it. In Jesus name, amen.

God doesn’t waste wilderness. What feels like a detour is really a classroom!

Honor should never be demanded in one direction while consideration is withheld in the other!

Pruning always feels like loss…until the fruit shows up!

Grace didn’t wait for you to get clean. It found you dirty and started washing!

The grind comes with a payoff!

Enough already! How long are you going to keep delaying your JOY? God wants you to know that JOY is available even in your current reality no matter how blessed or burdensome it may be! #JoyFULL

“The evangelical support of Trump will be an indictment against its validity as a a Christian movement for generations to come.” -Richard Rohr

Whatever you do…don’t allow them or it to steal your joy! #JoyFULL

Great leadership is not emotional numbness, it is spiritual stability. Feel the pain. Process the disappointment. Pray about the discouragement. But don’t allow one moment to become your master!

You cannot appeal to the conscience of a people, a president, a system that has none!

Pastoral maturity is learning to carry scars without turning them into weapons!

Some of the best days of your life have not happened yet… Don’t Give Up!

A grateful heart never forgets a generous hand! 🙌🏾

Sometimes growth looks less like getting more and more like needing less validation!

Don’t confuse being overlooked with being unqualified. Some of God’s best work happens in hidden places.

Keep showing up. Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t dramatic…it’s the subtle strength God gives that won’t let you quit!

Stop measuring your progress by somebody else’s pace. Your journey has its own grace!

They have moved on and… so should you!
