Women of the Dark
In the dark, I hear her.
In the dark, she knows the parts of me I’ve hidden from myself.
In the dark, I begin to know myself more, too.

I joined the Zoom. And the merriment and shock and surprise when I saw 3 Black women staring back at me. Could I have planned it any better? NOPE! Y’all know I live for people of the global majority. Not in jest, but in ernest. I have breath in my body to help others like myself. And it was immediately evident that I need them as much as they need me.
Truth be told? I don’t know if I’m “ready”. But I do know I’m willing. So this is me, reclaiming all my divine, God-given power. Standing in it. Resting in it. And being strengthened by it, too.
Do not worry because where you are, I AM, too. I AM—the God of I AM THAT I AM!– I AM in your past, and have already knitted it together for your beautiful future.
I resigned from my job. After 5 months. The environment was too small for me. Not in a “bad” way, but in a they’re tryna put me in a box and don’t they know I’m claustrophobic kinda way.
Today, oh God, I surrender all. All my fears. All my money concerns. I trust that You, Jehovah Jireh, are in fact, in Spirit and in Truth, my divine provider.
I took much needed time to think and feel in my body (that God speaking to me feeling, the spiritual nudges, you know the one, yes?) and pray and meditate on my next career steps.
The pain you’ve been running from might be the very thing God wants to walk you through—not to shame you, but to shape you.
Stop doing what you hate just because it “works”.
When the process drains you, the outcome won’t sustain you. So quit the punishment path and choose what brings you joy. Love, healing and transformation can feel good—and they should.
With God, all things are possible. With God, I now know that all things includes the very thing that I not only thought but downright knew was impossible.
