Not I, But God

Image
  I never set out to trailblaze. I was simply trying to hold on and make the most of a moment the world did not expect. But what I did not realize then was that God was working something far greater within me. While everything around us fell silent and shut down, He quietly opened a door inside my heart. The scripture that says, “go in and shut the door,” from Matthew 6:6, calls believers to pray in private to enter a quiet room, close the door, and speak to the Father who sees all things in secret. For such a time as this, without even knowing it, through deep prayer and reflection, with my pen in hand, I built a door to a new world. When I finally opened it, I stepped into a new chapter, a milestone filled with purpose, a legacy gently etched into time, where my story would forever be woven into the fabric of world history. In the stillness of my room, away from the noise of the Covid lockdown, I reached across oceans to Ghana, Africa, and found a young man named Eben Yelson, som...

Dreams Do Travel

Image
There’s something quiet and powerful about looking back and realizing that the moments that seemed small were actually whispering of something big. When I was a little girl in Lake Providence, Louisiana, I didn’t know I was creating a legacy. As a teenager, when I formed the Dancing Jazzorettes pouring my imagination into every routine for a cause. I didn’t realize then that I was rehearsing for a life beyond anything I could name only that I felt something pulling me forward. And life kept pulling. I’ve carried those early dreams to places I never expected: national tours, historic stages, and across the globe. Then, on February 16, 2013, I returned home to Lake Providence, where I had the honor of being the first Grand Marshal and first recipient of the Key to the Town. It wasn’t just a celebration; it was sacred. A full-circle moment. A humble homegrown girl returning, with a heart full of purpose. Looking back, I believe it was all a part of God’s plan. I just couldn’t see it then....

Lines Have Been Drawn

Image
Right and wrong are no longer defined by truth but by the shifting tides of opinion. Yet, Revelation 22:11 delivers an unshakable warning when the final hour comes, choices will be sealed. The unjust will sink deeper into their ways, the filthy will revel in their corruption, and the righteous will stand unmovable in their faith. This isn’t just a verse, but a wake-up call, a truth or dare to face the choices that will seal your eternity.   Are we in the midst of a revolution? The lines are drawn, and the stakes are high. Don’t sleep at the wheel, or on your choices they could determine your eternity. The weight of this truth is heavy, but the question remains: which side will you stand on when time runs out? Let these words strike like lightning, shaking the very ground beneath us. You know, truth is like the sun you can try to shut it out, but you can’t stop it from shining. "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he ...

The Hidden Power of HBCUs

Image
By: Aurora L. Threats Black History Month isn’t just about looking back; it’s a time to celebrate, lift up triumphs, and honor those who paved the way. It’s also about recognizing the powerful network of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) that continue to shape the future. HBCUs are the birthplace of visionaries and game-changers who flip the script. While every HBCU has contributed uniquely to shaping the world, these institutions share a common thread: a commitment to empowerment, excellence, and service. HBCUs have been instrumental in the fight for justice, equality, and opportunity, and the ripple effect of their work continues to be felt across medicine, law, business, politics, arts, and beyond. Take Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., for example, who was shaped by the values instilled at Morehouse College. He didn’t just lead a movement; he redefined leadership in the fight for justice and equality. Similarly, Thurgood Marshall, educated at Lincoln University and at...

Watch and Pray

Image
  For real, for real y’all. In a world with constant noise, distractions, and conflicting information, it's easy to say, “I’ve had enough of this!” Yet, amidst the chaos, there's a powerful spiritual practice that has stood the test of time: "watch and pray." This simple yet profound command, found in Matthew 26:41, reminds us to be vigilant and spiritually grounded in every season of life. To "watch" is to remain informed and discerning in all aspects of our lives. We live in an age where information bombards us daily, and with so many happenings and voices vying for our attention, it can be challenging to know which direction to take. "Watching" means not just observing our surroundings, but understanding the influences and forces at play. Are the people we listen to truly guiding us in the right direction? Are the choices we make aligned with our deepest values? It calls us to reflect, assess, and be proactive in what we allow to shape our mi...
