Continue reading →: Overwhelmed By Grace
God did it!!! I must admit that for a minute I was feeling like Job…well for a few months I suppose… I’m so thankful!!! I planned months ago that I would visit my brother and the rest of my family in LA for Christmas. What I didn’t plan for was all…

Continue reading →: Be the One
It’s been said that opposites attract. However, more often than not in relationships you typically tend to attract who you are! I know some of you might be shaking your head in protest but I did the same before I was able to swallow that giant pill too so hear me…

Two days ago I arrived at work fuming…I was frustrated beyond everything, but I remained calm as I started a nearly 2000 word post in haste over what led to my issues before 8:30 am….I will have you know that this post is not going to be that long so…

A couple months ago, my pastor preached a sermon entitled, How to Worship Wounded. I really needed to hear it then but figuring out how to worship wounded hasn’t really been my plight lately. Rather, I’ve just been doggone tired! I mean physically tired, spiritually tired, emotionally tired….just TIDE…yes I intended to spell…

Continue reading →: So I’ve finally broken up with my past…
For years, I blamed my mother for my lack of happiness as a child and in some ways even as an adult. I hung onto those feelings so tight that I believed they were just another part of me- something I couldn’t get rid of no matter how I tried.…

I woke up to an inevitable mess this morning…well scratch that…it was definitely avoidable, I just didn’t act quickly enough and there goes the rest…one of my dogs got sick and though I heard her yelping this morning to go out. I kind of allowed my sleepiness aka laziness have…

James 1:19 The Message (MSG) Act on What You Hear 19-21 Post this at all the intersections, dear friends: Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue, and let anger straggle along in the rear. God’s righteousness doesn’t grow from human anger. So throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in…

Continue reading →: The Rest really is up to You!
Believe it or not there are some people out there who are so overwhelmingly positive that if you put a stick of dynamite in their Kool-aid, their response would be something like, ” What colorful fireworks!” Well I know envy is not an attribute I want to advocate here…

Yes, what a beautiful morning! A few days ago, despite the temperature matching the atmosphere I’m witnessing today, I might not have had the same response. In fact, despite the glowing sun, last week I can attest that I was in a very dark place. Depressed? Nah….I can identify…
Hey Lovelies and Gents,
I’m Nadia
Welcome to my cozy corner of relational sanity. Once upon a time, I started a blog, but I was bound by codependency and low self-worth, so though I penned encouragement for others, I never really took my own advice. Fast forward nearly a decade later, I’ve revisited and finally fully embraced those tidbits of wisdom the Lord led me to express so many years ago. That said, I’m glad to catch up with myself and to help you release whatever has you bound. A word of caution, though: I’m holy, but I cuss a lil’ bit, so occasionally, there may be some colorful language, so please eat the meat and spit out the bones. Ensure the Lord sent you here so we can learn and grow together. I guess that’s a long enough intro for now. Until Later.
