Dear Believers,
In the bustling rhythm of our lives, finding moments of solace and connection with our Creator becomes essential. Today, I want to share a glimpse into my journey as a pastor and why I’ve embraced the practice of scripture journaling and praying through scriptures, especially with the enchanting Tropical Scripture Journal.

Early in May, I was participating in my regular weekly prayer call with Alexander Temple Community Church. I got so caught up in worship during the prayer call that I could hardly contain myself!!! They asked me to lead prayer for the group, and I cut that corporate prayer short because God was calling me to personal worship. God’s anointing…
Friends, this has been a tragic time for us all as we have endured many combinations of stress that could not be accounted for in advance.

Immediately upon hearing news of George Floyd’s murder, I felt myself holding my breath. It wasn’t until a week or so later–when I read the Medium article of a Duke Divinity School colleague–that I was able to exhale (just a little) for the first time… IN WEEKS
If I am honest, my opening to this has been colored by a number of things. Namely, my own blackness. In white spaces, I think too much for “the colored” people. I think of us *as* coloured people. I do too much in my mind to correct for what I think is the bias of other races while altogether realizing it is my own bias at fault here. I am not here removing the external biases that do exist, yet I am stating the fact that it is hard enough to live while black without adding the over-correction (or over-calculation) that I feel the need to do because of my race.
It matters not what I want to do. What’s utterly important is what God IS doing. And trust me… I STILL have a laundry list of ‘I-don’t-wannas…’, but that doesn’t stop God from moving and it doesn’t stop me from serving.
One aspect of this opportunity is the request to submit a journal entry to the school regarding my experiences each week. I’ll be sharing those via this blog as well. If I censor portions, I’ll let you know, but I plan to share with you my full truths. Enjoy that! I can’t always share, and won’t always be allowed to. Ask whatever questions you have as a result. Here goes…
