LIVING THE DREAM BY THE GRACE OF GOD
“AIN’T NOBODY LOVES ME BETTER THAN YOU”That was me singing to God this morning on my treadmill tempo run, which was all about getting comfortable with the uncomfortable (my life right now!!!). To be honest with you, though, these difficult situations God seems to love putting me through, I’m making the most of them by …
MAY WE ALL WIN TOGETHER WITH GOD!
SUP, BABY! TAKE ME TO NEW YORK CITY!!!I was back crying happy tears this morning having breakfast with my daughter, Julie, at this hotel I wrote about yesterday:“Even God surprised me when I did a check on my phone to see exactly how many miles I was away from my home today, and it was …
GOD INCREASE OUR FAITH IN YOU!!!
CRAZY LADY, GO AWAY!!!I found a fun way of handling the madwoman that constantly shows up in my head, y’all. I’ve written many times about how the number 311 has been a particular communication from God. Like today, just turning on the TV and within a minute of watching, an announcer says, “If you need …

BACK CRYING THOSE HAPPY TEARS FROM GOD
“CALLING TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR ADVICE IS WORKING!”

“SORRY, YOU HAVE SUCH A RATCHET (UNPOLISHED, UNREFINED, ROUGH, GHETTO) MOM!”
That was me to my son, Joshie, as we worked together to change the sheets on his bed. He incredibly responded, “You’re still the best mom in the world.” I told him thanks for that because I can sometimes be so hard on myself. But at the end of the day, I know, despite my …

‘SOMETIMES I DON’T MIND YOU HAVING THE WORST DAY’
That is what God tells me sometimes! And now I’m so on board with Him because I know these terrible days have lots to teach me. Take, for example, yesterday, it wasn’t a good day, but looking back on it, I’m grateful. I was reminded of so many vital lessons, like becoming numb to the …
