Ava just got her first discernment lesson…
…from a bottle of Kool-Aid. 😂

She grabbed what she thought was cherry and tropical punch—red and blue, based on the label. But when she squeezed them into her water?

Both turned out red.

I looked at her and said:

“Just because something looks different on the outside doesn’t mean it’s coming from a different place.
And just because it looks good, doesn’t mean it’s good for you.”

Labels lie.
Packaging performs.
But pressure? Pressure reveals.

And that’s how people work too.

✨ They can present well… and still pour poorly.
✨ They can show up new… but carry the same old content.
✨ What they squeeze out when life hits? That’s the truth.

Some of us are still sipping situations that looked sweet but left us bitter. And it’s because we trusted the label instead of the fruit.

🌱 What I Grew:

🪴 It’s not the outside that tells you the truth—it’s what pours out.
🪴 Different packaging doesn’t mean different character.
🪴 Discernment is generational—teach it early.

✨ Planted Seeds:

🌱 Check the flavor, not the font.
🌱 Watch consistency over charisma.
🌱 And don’t ignore the aftertaste—God gave you that for a reason.

🤞🏾 Verse to Hold On To:

“By their fruit you will recognize them.”
— Matthew 7:16 (NIV)

Onward and upward always…
I love US,

People love me… until I bring logic and accountability into the conversation.

Turns out, some people don’t want growth—they want agreement.

“Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— the Lord detests them both.” — Proverbs 17:15 (NIV)

So how do we, as wives and mothers, cheer on a system that does exactly what God detests?

We can’t say we’re for righteousness and still root for destruction just because it’s culturally popular.

Happy Mothwr’s Day!

Lean not on your own understanding…
…even with your children.

This morning, Ava was adamant about wearing a dress.

At first, I didn’t understand why it mattered so much—until I paused and asked her.

“Because it makes me feel pretty and beautiful. Like a lady,” she answered.

Instantly, a memory came flooding back—one where at 14, I refused to wear a dress to church.

Back then, my resistance felt like rebellion.
My parents took me to juvenile detention to “scare me straight.” It didn’t work.

I couldn’t see it then, but I see it clearly now: They were doing the best they could with what they had, navigating parenting and adoption through lenses I didn’t yet understand.

Today, with Ava, I realized God was using this small moment to gently remind me how far I’ve come. I chose to respond differently—not from a place of frustration, but with compassion and curiosity.

It wasn’t about my parents’ mistakes—it was about my own growth and the generational healing happening right now, through something as simple as a dress.

Sometimes God uses our children not just to teach us how to raise them better, but to heal pieces of our younger selves we didn’t even realize were hurting.

🌱 What I Grew:

🪴 Compassion for my parents’ parenting—acknowledging they did their best.
🪴 Recognition of my own growth from then to now.
🪴 Understanding that parenting can be the gateway to our deepest healing.

⸻

✨ Planted Seeds for Our Village:

🌱 Ask your kids “why” before reacting—it could be healing for both of you.
🌱 Give your parents grace—they navigated life without the tools we now have.
🌱 Embrace each parenting moment as a chance to rewrite generational stories with empathy and wisdom.

🤞🏾 Verse to Hold On To:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”
— Proverbs 3:5 (NIV)
