Ephesians 2:10 (AMP)

Hello 39!!! Be Gentle With Me
I can’t believe I have one more year of being a “youth”. Anyone under the age of 40 is considered a “youth” so I’m still young over here. What can I honestly say about turning 39? Not much yet. I can say that I still get asked if I’m in my mid to late 20s. […]

Year 36: Restoration
14 The Lord will fight for you while you [only need to] keep silent and remain calm.” Exodus 14:14 Amplified Bible (AMP) I may like to fight but sometimes I don’t need to. And the past few years God showed me I didn’t have to. He would handle it. All I had to do was be silent and stay calm. Easier […]
Dear 18 Year Old Vernetta…

I Made It to Club 30…!!!
Happy Birthday to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m finally to Club 30. I’m stoked. Thrilled. Excited. Nervous. Anxious. Petrified. Pumped. An emotional chaotic mess. I’m finally an adult. Or so I think. Well most of the time. I guess. We’ll get back to that later. It’s also the 3 year anniversary of officially being self-employed. Yep, I was unemployed […]
