It’s Gotta Be the Shoes

It’s Gotta Be the Shoes

If you grew up in my generation then you are familiar with a popular commercial starring Spike Lee for Air Jordan basketball shoes.  Michael Jordan was a celebrated basketball star whose ability to soar over his opponents was phenomenal. In the commercial, Spike says that “it’s gotta be the shoes” as he marvels at Jordan’s spectacular ability.  You can view… Read More

Light on Your Feet

Light on Your Feet

11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:11-13 ESV… Read More

Start with Why

Start with Why

“The angel came to her and said, “Greetings! The Lord is with you; you are very special to him.” Luke 9:28 (ERV) Author Simon Sinek shared his personal theory of how companies think beyond the practical, rational benefits of the products and services they offer by focusing on why.  His Ted Talk on this topic has been viewed more than… Read More

Hide and Seek

Hide and Seek

As a kid, I was never that fond of the game Hide and Go Seek. I don’t know why.  It just seemed a futile activity to me, you know, running around trying to find the perfect hiding spot.  Then holding your breath hoping that your breathing would not give away your location to whoever was selected as the seeker. And… Read More

Lighten Up

Lighten Up

Waiting and patience. These are two areas where God is still working with me. You would think I’d have it by now. It’s not like I haven’t experienced multiple situations in my life that have proven time and time again that His timing is better than mine.  Isaiah 55:9 (NLT) says:  “For just as the heavens are higher than the… Read More

He Gives Me Breath

He Gives Me Breath

It’s funny how things you take for granted become really important when they become labored or are missed altogether.  Unfortunately, my husband and I both came down with coronavirus this week.  We sort of expected the probability was high given that we just returned from an international trip to celebrate the renewal of vows for some dear friends.  Even taking… Read More

A Mother’s Heart

A Mother’s Heart

This is the second instance we read of Mary storing up things in her heart.  What were “these things” do you think?  Do you think she was reflecting back to the time when the Angel of the Lord told her she was pregnant?  Do you think she was reflecting on what her cousin, Elizabeth, had told her?  Do you think… Read More

It’s All Worship

It’s All Worship

In the second chapter of Luke, we learn about the marvelous birth of Jesus.  Even in the humble setting of a manger, Mary and Joseph probably looked lovingly at their little bundle and thought he was perfect.  Who doesn’t love the smell of a newborn and the way they just fit within the bend of your arm that has magically… Read More

Do the Work

Do the Work

There are a lot of roles in this world that require us to coexist with others toward some effort.  On teams, we might have co-captains.  At work, we might have co-leads. In some family situations, we might have co-parenting responsibilities.  If you’ve ever been in any of these roles, you might admit that it takes a lot of effort to… Read More

Search Me (and my hair!)

Search Me (and my hair!)

Any Black woman who wears her hair in any type of natural state can probably relate to being stopped during the TSA gate entry process to have their hair “checked”.  Today was no exception for me.  I’ve worn my hair in its natural state off and on since 2010.  My most recent sprint has lasted for six years…this may be… Read More

About Rita

I’m glad you found my blog! I’m a mom, a wife, college administrator, AKA woman, and follower of Jesus Christ. After raising our family, I started to talk with God about what He wanted me to do. I’ve always loved to write and one day I heard Him clearly say…Go do that. So that’s what I do here. I observe life, meditate on it, listen for the lessons and write. That’s it. Hope you enjoy my reflections! Read More…
