Hearing myself consider docking the server’s tips for letting me go thirty minutes without fresh water disgusted my own ears. I knew I needed to filter my consumerism through the lens of “shalom”. Shalom is another word for peace, wholeness, and unity. It’s seeking to live as whole a life as possible. My attitude towards people in the service industry was broken, and in need of wholeness. So, I decided that for Lent, I would do three things: 1: See... Read more

When we moved to L.A. I knew I had my work cut out for me, I was a pastor’s wife, in other words, a Lifer Hostess. Since a huge part of my husband’s job is to oversee the grow and serve groups and we’d have people over at least once a month, we chose an apartment that’s well suited for hosting. So, I did that thing you do when you know something’s terrifying is coming and you’re too proud to admit... Read more
As many of y’all know, I am an ambassador with Noonday Collection and I’m a contributor for their blog, “Flourish”. Today I had the honor of sharing my story of being an African American ambassador, one of a few. I shared my deepest concerns in joining and the surprises as I’ve found my tribe in the Noonday Ambassador Community. There’s something that I do in social situations that’s almost instinctual.

When I was a teenager, there were three hills I would die on when choosing my future husband. The first hill was pretty obvious. I wanted him to share my faith. I wasn’t interested in spending my whole marriage in theological debates. What with money, sex, kids, and family dynamics to deal with, I didn’t want to worry that my hubs would give me the side-eye every time I quoted Jesus. The second hill was almost as important, but not as... Read more
