Last month I was honored to be able to read one of my published poems "The Color of My Skin" in honor of Black History Month at the historical Booker T Washington Community Center in Rocky Mount, NC. I would love to share it with you as well! [video width="1280"...
Please join me weekly for my broadcast entitled "A Moment Of Hope". Every Monday 6:45pm EST. This has been a labor of love for me for over a year and a half and I'd love to make you a part of it! You can listen to last week's broadcast below! ...
The Woman. The Well. The Witness. (based on John: 4:7-30,39-42) The day started out as all the others. My need for water sent me to the well to draw. I’d lived with shame. So, I went to the well alone to prevent being shunned And called things outside my name. The man...
The Call of A Mother She’s called to wear many hats, But, the greatest of these is to praise. To encourage and to speak life over her husband And every child she’s called to raise. Not all are born of her blood, Or limited to the ones she’s called to foster. But to...
My Daily Bread One step at a time may I walk with you Lord, Not lagging behind or running ahead. Let me walk in sync with you, Enjoying your company instead. Being anxious for nothing, I focus on fellowship with you. Being present in the moment, Seeking you in all I...
Just be calm. Just be cool. You were made to reign. You were made to rule. Just be steady. Your place is set. No need to be frustrated. No need to fret. Just be watchful. Listen and pray. Revelation will come In a unique way. An opportunity will come. You’ll know...
Your beauty is more than the skin you’re in. It’s in your heart, your soul, your mind. What others judge and possibly disqualify, Their shallowness makes your inner virtue hard for them to find. Don’t fret. Don’t quake. The ones assigned will see your inner beauty....
Lord, I pause. I give you space, I give you room. I let down my guard and sit before you, Refusing to assume That I know what’s best for me. But I sit at your table and eat. What you have spread out before me. Giving you praise While you give me your Word, Which is my...
He won’t put more on us than we can bear, But sometimes it feels that’s not true. But when you reach the end of yourself, He’s right there waiting for you. When we are weak, he is strong. His grace is sufficient and made perfect in weakness, He’ll never leave you, nor...
Sometimes we’re looking for Him to scream But, In the smallest ways He speaks. If we are distracted or preoccupied His voice will seem too weak. In the seeking He can be found But not always how we picture it. We can’t box Him in, He’s too big and in our “boxes” He...
Rushing through life, Trying to reach a goal. Not smelling the roses or taking time To watch life unfold. Gotta make it happen. Gotta get there before “they” do. All the while, the pace is harming you. Life is a journey. Not a competition. It’s not about keeping...
It’s not in pride But in transparency That deliverance comes. It’s not in secretness But in exposure That battles are won And oppression is overcome. Your story encourages another to breakthrough And seek deliverance and God’s face. It’s your testimony of being there...
** taken from the Book "Psalms of Hope: Encouragement Through Poetry" written by Hope Scott THE COLOR OF MY SKIN The Color of my skin does not define me, But what I carry in my heart. The Words that come out of my mouth And the way that I treat you, Should tell you a...
I always knew I was different. No matter what, I never seemed to fit in. I was living a life of privilege While my adopted family made slaves out of my kin. I learned the Egyptian’s ways, But my spirit did not dwell in peace. The wealth did not appease my unease, For...
(Acts 3:1-26, 4:14,16) All my life I’ve been lame and had to look up at man Wondering what it would be like to walk, run, stand This is all I know so, I’ve made my peace Of everyone always looking down on me But today, something changed. I’m no longer lame. Such...
