Taking Care of My Soul.

Cultivating Motivation.
What keeps you motivated? I remember grappling with this question over a period of time- maybe ten years. I didn’t realize I was ‘grappling’ because I was sincerely depressed in my life. it’s extremely hard to be happy when life sucks. I was so discouraged with myself. I couldn’t remain motivated. But I was also […]

A Psalm For Refuge
I wrote a psalm . My first psalm ever. I thought psalm writers had all died and gone to heaven. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I never knew I could be one of them. Psalmists don’t usually know they’re psalmists until they lamented and sorrowed about something mighty weighty. This was me after we lost our mother in law […]

New Occupation, New Name.
Chaplain Jennifer. That’s what they call me. I’m still getting used to calling myself that. I’m learning everyone that’s in the hospital is not here just for physical healing.

Intuition & Love… How Did I Get Here?
How did I get here? Ever ask yourself that question? I once thought about writing on Intuition and Love a while ago. But I wasn’t ready. I had to decide how transparent I wanted to be. Then I realized that I needed to see how the two overlap. I didn’t have enough knowledge. Or so […]

Settling.
Greener Pastures: (My post on Better Self-Worth& Esteem) Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is My Shepherd. I lack nothing.” I’m learning to appreciate everything these days…..

Identity in My Community.
Last night was amazing. I spent an hour and a half in community with folk in my church community. Some were members  of my church, and others were not. We all had three things in common: Purpose, Passion And Potential. Our desire is to reach for this, collectively. Some just wanted to be in a […]

Developing An Identity is Like Making HUGE Spiderwebs.
Sometimes finding our selves is like making a spider web. It’s intricate, detailed, contemplative and sometimes involves a lot of work. I think I began this journey quite honestly, at a young age. Maybe even before age eleven. Eleven was when my life changed. My Dad decided to live differently. To become a man and […]

Indwelling. Is there such a word? I was reading today in the Word how being in fellowship with friends and others and also God-we learn how to be built up, and grow. We make more room for growth by allowing for friendships; and sometimes those friendships have a God-nature, if you will that comforts. That’s […]
