“Why are so many “STRONG”Black Women Single?”
Well bomb.com mommas, how have you been?! 🙂It has been a long time since I’ve posted. This post is inspired by a private Facebook page for single Black Christians. Since my brain began to spin with so many ideals and thoughts about the subject, here I post… A single Christian Black male posted a meme to engage conversation amongst followers. The meme stated, “Why are so many strong Black women single?” See my response below… You know…as a Black woman who is divorced after almost 16 years, I can only give perspective in hindsight and while on my self rediscovery journey. The “strong” Black woman in my humble opinion was…

The Ache in the Waiting – God, where is my husband! 😞
Well mommas, some days are great, but today my soul aches and longs to be loved and held by a man; not just any man, but my purpose partner-my future husband! As I sit on my son’s bed, trying to retreat from my five and eight year old littles who quietly snuck into my bed in the wee hours of the morning and took over my king-sized bed, I am attempting to find rest and peace from the thoughts that are overtaking my nights rest, so I write. It’s 6:18am and my teenage son’s bedroom is next door. He’s awake having his devotional time with the Lord, headphones in ear…

Holy and Horny vs Holy and Whole – God’s Plan for sexual purity after Divorce!
Hey momma’s!!! Sooooo, why did no one tell me about the sexual urges that remain after the divorce??? I’m waiting!!! (wink) I feel like I woke up one morning and was slapped with a burst of sexual energy that I could NOT explain. I felt completely frustrated and knew that I did not have license to satisfy! So, what’s a girl to do??? This was the question and journey that I took a few months after my divorce. Initially after my divorce, I felt completely numb to any emotions which scared me as an empath. However, it was during this season that I was singularly focused on graduate school and…

Teens and Things…exhausted in the battle
Well, burning the midnight oil again! It’s actually 1:22am and somehow I have not been able to sleep at night recently. Not sure why, but I pray for sweet rest and the Lord’s revelation of this season in life. As I reflect on my day, what sticks out the most is a disagreement that my eldest son and I had. As we transported groceries from the car to home, I lashed out at him on the elevator, in response to his abrupt and harsh communication with his seven-year-old brother. I felt his communication was a bit harsh and to be quite honest, I was triggered as it reminded me of…
