So Emotional...

Today, I want to discuss the topic of our emotions. The bible says according to Proverbs 25:28 “a person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls” (New Living Translation). Therefore, we must identify why we feel what we feel and get to the root of it. As women, we have many emotions and I believe God has designed us that way. Our emotions make us unique and we should embrace them; however, we must be cognizant of not allowing our emotions to control us. On December 12 th as I was cleaning and organizing files in preparation for the New Year, I came across my mother’s death certificate. As soon as I saw it, I began to ball my eyes out. I did not expect such raw emotions to emerge and I was actually surprised. When I was done, I prayed and asked God to continue to heal my heart. Although I finished crying, I was experiencing a heavy weight of sadness for the rest of the day.  Later in the day, the Lord blessed my heart regarding another matter and I ...

This Issue From My Heart

-
Before mental health week concludes, I want to share a little of my heart on the issue. This subject is loaded and I will not be able to expound on all the things I want to discuss. This post will have two parts, as I believe mental health and internal healing go hand-in-hand. Please know I am not writing to provide answers, but to provoke a discussion about a sensitive topic.

Some of the myths include mental illness being a personal weakness, individuals can get by without professional help, mental illness is one’s own fault, children are unaffected by mental health issues and finally, mental illness is shameful. Based on my personal experience, I can tell you each of the myths are just that, myths. I grew up with a mother who suffered from mental illness. At the time (early 80’s), mental illness was taboo. Those around her knew something was wrong, but was too afraid to confr...

God Didn't Make Me A Bird

Genesis 50:20 - You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives . One of my favorite movies is Forest Gump. I have watched it more times than I can count and each time I observe something I did not notice before. In Forest’ innocence, he did not understand what his best friend Jennie was experiencing at home at the hands of her father. There is a scene in which her father is looking for her; Jenny grabs Forest’ hand and runs through the cornfield. When she stops, she says to Forest “let’s pray to God that he would make me a bird so I can fly far…far away.” Obviously, God did not turn her into a bird, but he did open the door for her to leave her abusive environment. God did not make me a bird either; therefore, the scene has great significance to me. I can recall countless times as a child praying to the Lord and asking him to deliver me from my abusive environment, but he didn’t. There were time...
