Accountability

In previous readings I’ve shared that I put all into my friendships / relationships. However, what I’ve come to realize is that I neglect my own responsibilities when I am focused on what someone else is doing. I guess I never realized how hard minding my own business could be. I am naturally inquisitive thus; I ask a lot of questions to those in my live. I am also very open in the relationships I share. However, I have come to understand that my openness is not a direct invite for others to do the same.[...]

Happy New Year Truth Squad!! I hope you all are ready to have an amazing 2020. You know I had to check in to ask if you have completed your end of  year “self-reflection self-appraisal”? If you have not, I encourage you to complete it before the end of this month. The importance of completing it as soon as possible is so that you can begin to change your behaviors before too much time passes. You do not want to look up and be in the same position you were in last year. We will not bring bad habits, negat[...]

Has your life ever given you the feeling of being off-tract? What about being mentally, emotionally, spiritually lost? I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve gotten lost in the sauce once or twice.

In spending time with God today, I realized that I had fallen short of my commitment to him. Thus, I told myself it was time to get an accountability partner! The reason I decided to pursue an accountability partner in Christ[...]

How many of us limit our minds to believe we are not worthy of God’s blessings due to something we did? The question I find myself asking over and over again is if God forgives me, then why can't I seem to forgive myself? Often times, we allow guilt to hinder our growth in the physical and spiritual realm. The reason so many of us stop growing in life and allow bitterness / resentment to live in our space is because we have given into the feelings of guilt and shame. The three steps I have committed to take[...]

When was the last time you mustered up the courage to ask someone for help? Be honest with me, how comfortable were you when you asked for that help? If you are like me, you were not very comfortable. Take a moment to reflect on the person’s reaction after you asked them for help. Did they scorn you for not asking sooner? Say you’d figure it out like you always do? Or maybe they said no and you were left questioning why you ever asked in the first place? The harsh reality is, these reactions can and will[...]
