Catch That Thought

02/05/2025

Hello May!!

I gave up social media during lent from March-April. It was a peace I didn’t know I needed. I don’t think we realize how much we need to disconnect sometimes in order to gain clarity and peace of mind.

It’s crazy to think that we are almost to the half way mark of this year 😳. I’m determined to hit and conquer some of the goals I have. It’s been a task getting into a rhythm but I do believe the time in which I disconnected gave me fresh perspective.

So May I welcome you on the 1st day.

COMPASSION, INTEGRITY, SELF-AWARENESS, and INTEGRITY….do your leaders possess these qualities?

I had a situation in which my pride immediately responded.

After I calmed down….somewhat….God directed me to look up Pride. The first thing that came was an excerpt from an article written by Pastor George Hendricks. It was the last sentence particularly that caught my attention.

“Pride can hinder spiritual growth and be a barrier to receiving God’s Grace and Guidance.

The interesting thing is that spiritual growth and guidance are two exact things that I am seeking in this season. And we (I) am always in need of God’sGrace. Whew talk about a wake up call!! I’ve got too much at stake to allow my pride to rule my flesh and what God is doing and going to do in my life.

It ain’t easy but it’s worth it.

October 1: The first day of the last quarter of the year.

This was my year of reset…..or so I declared at the beginning of the year. The year that everything was going to come together and be perfect by the end of the year.

Yet here we are. Three months away from the end of the year and I have to look around like what happened or better yet what didn’t happen and why.

But God had to remind me that I’m not just in a reset year but a reset season. And not just a Chronos season that can be given a time stamp but a Kairos season. A season that is about Gods timing. It’s a season that has many different phases and in order to get to the next I must conquer the first which is the mind in order to build upon the next.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s still time “to do” but because I understand where I am and what’s been revealed to me, I’m okay with continuing the reset journey during this season of life. I know greater is coming…….and in that I find peace.

A few weeks ago I was praying and I wrote in my journal and asked God to show me how he sees me and what gifts he has placed inside me. Within 3 days I received my answer. I was completely overwhelmed and at the same time in awe that God looks at me the way He does and that He believes in me enough to give me the gifts he’s given me.

He also showed me that things I’ve thought I should be able to do in the past or opportunities that I felt I deserved were not because of someone else but because of my lack of confidence that I displayed to others. Sometimes we think we are being modest, or we don’t want to come off as arrogant. But there is nothing wrong with being confident in who you are and the gifts that you have.

So remember sometimes it’s not others that are keeping us from something or doing something, it can be us and our lack of confidence that gives the impression we are not ready or prepared for the next.

Let your light shine!! Be confident and authentically you!!!

Every year the statement “addiction does not care what race, s*x, ethnicity, or socioeconomic background you come from it can effect anyone” becomes more true each and every year.

Our family came together again to honor our uncle, brother Tony at the Not One More Alabama walk. WAFF 48 News anchor Haley Baker was the keynote speaker who bravely shared for the first time publicly her own personal journey of recovery from alcoholism. You never know what someone is dealing with and what brings on their addiction.

It’s my hope that anyone affected by addiction or families on the other side as support, will support organizations like NOMA to bring awareness and stop the stigma associated with addiction.

Some people will attempt to discourage you, plant seeds of discouragement, and try to intimidate you. Be great anyway! Never dim your light for the comfort of others. Shine bright like a Diamond! Happy Monday!!
