“Moving on Faith”


A mind like mine lingers too long, perhaps—in its own chambers.

Mapping unseen routes,
sketching futures,
rehearsing outcomes
before breath ever meets action.


I measure distance
not in miles,
but in the space between
what was
and what could be.


And somewhere between
here and there,
silence arrives—
disguised as sanctuary.


But silence can fracture.
It can splinter into stillness
that is not rest,
but retreat.


Limbs grow heavy there—
not from peace,
but from pause overstayed.


Limbs that slacken,
that soften,
that surrender not to God,
but to avoidance.


Refusing motion
when tension thickens,
when conviction calls,
when obedience costs.


Caught in the quiet—
that subtle snare
where comfort mimics peace
and hesitation wears holy clothes.


Yielded to approval,
yet drifting from alignment.


Listen—

not all “silence” is sacred.


In fact some silence is…

misaligned 

misplaced 

misappropriation. 


Do not let disobedience become 

familiar enough to
quiet your voice,
dim your faith,
or fracture your peace.


Because what you refuse to move in
will begin to bury you in place.


And what you will not say,
will echo anyway—
in missed callings,
in delayed obedience,
in the slow erosion of 

who you were meant to be.


So rise—
even if your voice trembles.


Move—
even if your steps resist.


Better a trembling obedience
than a silence that 

buries your purpose 

while you’re still breathing.

"The Enemy is Defeated"

“You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good...”                —Genesis 50:20 I woke this morning with gratitude resting gently on my chest— not because everything aligned, not because I checked every box, but because I chose to trust the God who provides beyond what I see. What felt like drowning in relentless spiritual warfare was, in truth, a holy cleansing— a breaking, a refining, a quiet preparation for something greater. And I can feel it now— a shifting in the unseen, a breakthrough pressing against the horizon. Despite every blow, I’m still standing— anchored in promises that have never known failure. God is moving— not subtly, not faintly, but with a power that cannot be mistaken. What was sent to destroy me misjudged its target, miscalculated its reach, and completely misunderstood God’s assignment over my life. I don’t know the private giants you face, the silent battles you fight when no one sees —but I know this:...

The Glass Ceiling of Fear

"You can't "prop up" a person that refuses to stand ."-me Recently, I asked one of my " homeboys " to read a few of my blog posts and help " plug the gap " where my feet often stumbled. He didn't read one, but he read all of them! After a gut-wrenching, " throat punch of truth ," he unleashed the dragon. I was knee-deep in the swamp of hot ashes. Needless to say, I had allowed fear to become my glass ceiling ! Each time, I took off running for the hills , I looked back to the valley for "familiar hands." The " child within " had learned to go without the things needed most; so as an adult, I counseled my fears. I nursed my vulnerabilities. I coached my failures. However, my hands kept reaching for the " mentor within " that the younger version of me survived without. Let's face it! Kids learn what they live, even inherited dysfunction. Grown-up habits can resurf...

Get Out The Way

It takes an incredible “act of faith” to step out on the unknown, but that’s exactly what God did—pushed me right out of the nest. I extended my stay, way beyond the appointed time. My wings were ready, but I secretly clipped them,  so I could remain still. I’d been comfortably nested for years, while focused on the “lack of my own hands,” but failed to trust the real provider. I was so keyed in on my inabilities that I refused to take the first step. It was just too scary! What if I failed? Never once realized, that I was equipped to succeed! I’ve always known my life purpose was tied to the ministry of “ service ,” but I failed to develop that hidden potential. I was afraid of rejection . I was afraid to be seen or even heard. I didn’t like attention because it came with an army or critics, including the biggest one within . How would I ever help anyone, if I refused to help myself?  I ran into a former high school classmate at the gym. We briefly talked ab...
