What matters most is how you see yourself.

Not really into drawings growing up. I had interest but I never really pursued since every time I see my drawings, they are ugly.

But last night, as I was speaking to God about what I have observed in my current relationship: a sudden feeling of disappointment and fear crept in.

Disappointment upon seeing inconsistency of what he says in the beginning and present. Also, him not allowing himself to be vulnerable to me.

Fear because I don’t want this relationship to fail and that we both just be each other’s teachers and leave.

In both, I kept talking to God about these things and gave me an idea to draw this.

This represents how God holds my heart. There are times that I, myself, breaks my own heart by thoughts I have allowed to creep in my head. Sometimes, others but most of the time me. I know I have the ability to choose how to feel and what to feel, logical or illogical.

Broken but saved is my reminder that wherever I am in my relationships, God shall be in the center of my heart. He is king in my throne of life so no matter how many times my heart gets broken, I will never be able to break whatever God has in store for me. So I pray that I be protected with his love and grace as I go on with this journey of life.

Hey yall.

Check out this collaboration with Mae Renfroe, host of the Thoughtful Thursdays Show on YouTube.

We had an amazing chat about my caregiving journey and how it has shifted since losing my father last month.

I hope that this conversation will be helpful and enlightening to those of you who may be walking through a similar journey in your life. ‪

It's ok not to show up for people on the days you can't even show up for yourself.

If being hard on yourself worked, it would have worked by now.

It’s rare that I keep note of “teachable moments” from middle grade graphic novels. I absolutely had to share this one that I came across in Crunch by Kayla Miller. It’s okay to do too much, but it’s also better when you can identify when doing too much might be getting the best of you. If you are picking up what I’m putting down, this panel should be a gentle reminder to take it easy. I suggest this for anyone with a youngin in their life that needs to work on time management, this graphic novel hits all the points in encouraging them to be mindful of their time banks. It’s relatable and fun. I’m sure anyone of any age can resonate with the characters created by Kayla Miller in this series. Her graphic novels always provide a takeaway that lingers with you well after reading. #weekendreads #weekendread #graphicnovels #crunch #kaylamillerauthor #middlegradebooks #bookstagram #bookish #readingisfun #foryoungreaders #foryoungreaderseverywhere #timemanagement #gentlereminder #blackbookstagram #booklover #books #readmorebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Clb9hU4vXdO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I've been complaining a lot but we still gotta show up ♡

When I say my life be a movie I’m not just trying to be cute lol. 🎥🍿 This happened to me 4 years ago in Toronto, but who’s to say it couldn’t happen elsewhere…I know lots of people have experienced something similar not just me. But wanted to share as a reminder: Keep your belongings secured in public, don’t carry much cash around, if you’re taking transit it’s better to be a little less flashy so people don’t prey on you etc…..the season of giving also brings out a lot more straight up fuckery from shittt humans sadly. It is a cruel but beautiful world too.. Stay safe out there y’all and let’s please spread joy and love and kindness and generosity throughout this holiday season and forever more…you never know how badly someone might need it ❤️🎄🎅❄️🌟 #tistheseason #gentlereminder #staysafe #happyholidays #christmasiscoming (at Toronto Downtown) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClUbmryvUN6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🍁 Things to Remember

You did the best you could

Change takes time. Rome wasn't build over night ok.

You don't have to explain anything to anyone.

No, really is a complete sentence. No.

Your time and presence are precious.

Somebody loves you. I promise.

You are not your thoughts.

Somebody is thinking of you right now and how much they appreciate and admire you.

You're not selfish for having boundaries.

Take care of yourself for the future you.

There is good in this world.

You didn't deserve the abuse or trauma you want through.

You can be happy.

It's ok for you to take up space.

Anything is really possible.

Relevant Scriptures: Galatians 1:10; Proverbs 15:22 (NLT)

We spend a lot of time thinking about how people feel about us and seeking the approval of those that we look up to.

I have come to realize that if you want to stay sane and peaceful, you have to quiet down some of the noise.

It is wise to seek counsel from people who you trust when making big decisions.

However, we have to be careful not to cross over into people-pleasing territory or that horrible pit of living or dying for people's opinions.

But I have learned that the only "yes" I need and the only approval I truly need is that of God.

He is the only one I want to please.

People may be fickle when it comes to what they want.

But God is consistent; he tells us what he expects from us in His word.

So, when the world gets too loud and you feel overwhelmed by the thoughts of others, go and have a pow-wow with God.

He will gently guide you and grant you the gift of His peace.

It’s been a while but I have just posted a new video on prioritizing God’s Word! 📖 You can watch the full video in the link below 👇🏽

“I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws. I hold fast to your statutes, Lord; do not let me be put to shame. I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding.” Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭30‬-‭32‬ ‭NIV ❤️
