The Shift
Something is definitely shifting. It appears like the atmosphere is doing a whole back-and-forth waltz, but clearly favoring one side. Me: I am literally seeing my breath in the kitchen. My friend: What? Is the house haunted? Me: God forbid! No! Yesterday, the air was inviting, but today, it is telling me to put on…

The Quiet Goodbye
“And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them.” – Romans 16:17 (NLT) The day had finally arrived for a simple, drama-free brunch. Four friends always met…

I Won’t Be Insulted!
About exactly five hundred and four hours ago, I discovered a word—a whopping 29-letter word: floccinaucinihilipilification. Are you tripping over it yet? It’s not worth it. It means “to treat something as worthless.” 🤔 Already feeling this word? Why do folks think that women who homeschool their children are “just sitting around”? Why do folks…

The Invisible Hands
It was a late Saturday afternoon. The day carried the kind of warmth that made your knees sweat and your attitude melt. Blapoh slipped through the door, ready to get things done.

The Quiet Crown
Proverbs 4:9 (NLT) She will place a lovely wreath on your head; she will present you with a beautiful crown.

The tall windows allowed sunlight to spill in, catching the gleam of the well-polished Brazilian cherrywood floor and…

Love, Lies and Lemon Pies
Inspired by Psalm 120:2 (NLT) Malik and Marcy Afton were 65 and 60 years old, inextricably drawn to each other, and regrettably surrounded by faces who celebrated their downfall more than their progress. The picturesque township of Sasspoint Village had long been a ground for lingering rumors, and their marriage became the gossip buffet no…

The Ministry of Minding Your Business
Miss Gertrude appears to have an active role in some type of monitoring or spirit-related operation on N Serene Ln (the street that, despite its quiet appearance, is home to the most gossipers in the neighborhood). She lives across the street from Miatta and literally keeps popping up like a bad WI-FI signal every time…

Study ✅Skim❌
✨This story is meant for a reflection. ✨ Matoose’s morning rhythm was a mixture of Bournvita, boiled eggs, and surface-reading a bulky KJV Bible she was gifted. Next, she would transition into her home office, preparing her workspace and setting her mind to productivity. From the moment she said “yes” to Jesus, this became her…
