I'm thankful for the ability to share my faith in a lot of different places. It's something that I take as a responsibility and an obligation to handle as best as I can.

You read glowing things and it doesn't feel deserved. You read things that are critical and it cuts you to the bone.

The more divided people of color are in a system of white supremacy/privilege, the weaker they will be, both individually and collectively.

If I’ve already thought through a situation and have a response prepared ahead of time in the event temptation rears its ugly head, it is that much easier to resist.

I'll always use the negativity as more motivation to work even harder and become even stronger.

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another

We all know of people who thought they could to it (whatever “it” is) tomorrow. We have all procrastinated on such a way, and often to our personal regret. It happens time and again, putting off things that we convince ourselves might be better, more meaningful, more appropriate for another time. So often that better time either never comes or really isn’t better or more appropriate after all. And then, sadly, the window of opportunity -to do something great- closes.
