Have you guys seen the video I shared last week? It’s a great topic! The thing that really caught my attention watching it back today is that you can really see how I was starting to get sick. I recorded this video the day before I got pink eye and a plethora of other infections. I can see it in my eyes just looking back. I hope you all are staying healthy!! 🙏🏼

Quick Update: On Thursday I recorded a LONG video to post on Friday, in honor of Valentine’s Day. It was 90 min long, so I edited it down to like 42 minutes I think. It was the most vulnerable video I have ever done…even though it took me 15 minutes to get into the meat & potatoes of it.

Anyway, I was not feeling great while editing, otherwise I probably could’ve made it even shorter. I finally hit export and went to bed, with the full intention of posting it first thing Friday morning.

Fast forward to 3 pm Friday afternoon when I am awakened to the sound of Art walking in with a beautiful Valentine surprise.

I jumped up wondering why and how I had slept the entire day away. Only to realize my eye was throbbing, my sinuses were burning and my ear was oozing…one look in the mirror confirmed that I had pink eye and as I continued to wake up, I realized I was actually pretty darn sick. 🤒 🤢

So long story short, I never got that video uploaded. I wound up keeping myself knocked out most of the weekend, just praying this junk would be gone the next time I woke up. (But it’s not. 😩)

I finally uploaded the video tonight and scheduled it to post tomorrow at noon. It feels silly to share it now but I know I had very good intentions when I recorded it. And I know sometimes the enemy attacks hardest when God has a plan. So I’m not going to allow this to keep that message from being shared because I think there’s some value in there for someone. Even if it took me a minute to get to it. (Watching it back, I can see the redness in my eyes and can tell the sickness was starting to come over me)

Anyway, just wanted you all to know what was going on and why this video seems to be a little late! I hope you all had a much better weekend than I have! Stay healthy everyone! 🙏🏼❤️

Who else out there has a HARD FOUGHT HALLELUJAH?! 🙋🏻‍♀️

You may already know ‪@brandonlakeofficial‬ is one of my very favorite music artists! This song reminds me of so many storms I’ve been through and how God has not only rescued me but redeemed me through everything and given me a beautiful story to tell! 🙏🏼

If you are still in the storm, please let me know how I can pray for you!

This song has been playing on repeat in my head all night. These lyrics are awesome and if you know about the mental health issues my 2nd born has struggled with for the past 8+ years, you can understand how these words can touch a praying momma’s heart! 🙏❤️ (please pray for my Brayden 💔)

I hope these lyrics touch you the same way they do me! Also, me and Art have been privileged to see ‪@crowdermusicofficial‬ in concert a few times! Just AWESOME!!! 👏
