[SOME FIRE] burn longer than others, and it sometimes makes it harder to believe that when God makes a promise, He comes through. There is no need to meet a legitimate need through illegitimate means or to manipulate a situation or person into what we want and need. The wait may be long, the external voices may be louder, but His Word is Truer.

“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end— it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.” - Habakkuk 2:2-3

[AS A BLACK WOMAN AND PERSON] I doubt if the world deserves us or our forgiveness. That is the crux at which I struggle. It seems and feels like we are always dishing out forgiveness. Let it be noted in the pages of history that I was mad when the judge hugged her. I can’t be mad at Brandt Botham, because this is going to be a lifelong journey for him and his family. Starting with forgiveness might make the journey easier. I don’t know!
•
However, forgiveness does not always mean lack of consequences, so I am glad that she is going to jail for her actions, but ten (10) years though...

[AS A HUMAN] I can’t or don’t know if can. You hurt my loved ones, and you are going down. I can’t even fathom hugging you, because my hugging hands might become the weapon that suffocates you and squeezes the life out of you. Don’t come near me!

[AS A CHRISTIAN] I have received forgiveness and grace many times over and I will continue to need forgiveness and grace, I know what I am instructed and called to do.

[SEEN] “Ada, are you afraid?” I was.
Why were you afraid?
They do not look like me.
Why are you no longer afraid?
The girls like me will see me. - @theijeoma. (Questions for Ada)

I am getting ready for the second edition of Brunch w/ AdeOla this weekend. I’m looking forward to time with five (5) amazing entrepreneurial women over food and conversation.
•
The first one featured @maudeyoaks @danielle_kristine @jasminedotsmith @adeolawrites and #kimberlysmith from @thebrownbeautyco_op and it was a blast. It was better than I let myself expect. I look forward to keep creating a space and deepening an experience for women who are launching, executing and creating that isn’t about selling but about celebrating. A space to engage in INTIMATE INFORMAL FREE- FLOW conversation around entrepreneurship and business ownership, and how these intersect with our personal lives and wealth building.
•
I’m also looking forward to amazing food by the official #BrunchwithAdeOla caterer @havesomecharisma. Food got a 5-star across the board. 💝
