Rest and Refresh

February 8, 2021February 8, 2021 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

For the month of January, I took time to rest my mind, body and spirit. My ultimate goals were to strengthen my relationship with God, work on things I never gave the time for and cut myself some slack. I'm the type of person that goes full speed ahead in whatever I do. If I'm … Continue reading Rest and Refresh

I’m Thankful For What I Already Have

November 9, 2020 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

I like many others have big dreams, and with these big dreams comes a longing for something better than what I have already been blessed with. Proverbs 13:12 says, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But desire fulfilled is the tree of life." When I first read this verse, I thought, "Wow, that's exactly how … Continue reading I’m Thankful For What I Already Have

It Takes Sacrifice

September 14, 2020September 15, 2020 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

Having a relationship with God is just that: a relationship. And one thing that holds true in relationships is they require sacrifice. Dictionary.com describes sacrifice as, "to surrender or give up, or permit injury or disadvantage to, for the sake of something else." The ultimate example of sacrifice is when Jesus Christ died so that … Continue reading It Takes Sacrifice

Here I Am To Worship

July 27, 2020July 28, 2020 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

Worshiping my Lord and Savior through music is how I primarily connect with God. Isaiah 6:3 (NKJV) says, “And they were calling to one another: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” The scripture declares that the angels worship unceasingly. Worshiping God, whether that’s through song, prayer, … Continue reading Here I Am To Worship

It’s Not Just About You

June 1, 2020June 2, 2020 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

To be honest with my fellow readers, I didn’t want to post about this. As a black woman, I grew up with a clear indication of the history that came before me. And it’s not something that was taught to me in school because as many others can vouch, black history isn’t taught in a … Continue reading It’s Not Just About You

Step Out Of The Box

April 27, 2020April 14, 2020 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

I used to think that I couldn’t speak with the same level of authority as those that have been involved in ministry and are more knowledgeable and wiser than I am when it comes to God’s word. I wasn’t proactive in coming up with innovative ideas or concepts, and I definitely wasn’t the first to … Continue reading Step Out Of The Box

Because Of His Love

May 13, 2019 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

We’ve been conditioned our entire lives to please others. We go to school to get a degree so that we can stand out among employers. If we don’t have as good credentials as the next person, our chances of getting our desired job is stifled. And even once we get in a job position, we … Continue reading Because Of His Love

A Willingness To Accept

May 31, 2018January 20, 2019 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

I don’t like being inactive when I’m facing a troubling situation. In fact, I’ve always associated inactivity in undesirable circumstances with giving up. But the truth of the matter is that I want to be able to handle my problems on my own. Being in a world where you have to constantly climb up the … Continue reading A Willingness To Accept

The Greatest Gift Of All

March 31, 2018January 20, 2019 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

I want all the money and all the fame. I world says I need it, so give me everything. Give me the riches and the glory. I want everyone to know my story. I don’t want to cultivate the people around me because they have what I don’t. I’d rather sulk and envy and cry … Continue reading The Greatest Gift Of All

Merry Christmas from our quirky little family! 🎄👩🏾‍🤝‍👨🏽🐽🐕
We Bought A House & Got A Puppy?! 🏡🐕 I still can’t believe it! Life has sure been eventful, and I love it! Thank you, honey, for living this wacky 🤪 life with me. I love you soooooo much! 🤗😚☺️
Hubby, you make my life sweeter, funnier and more fulfilled than I ever could’ve imagined. God created a masterpiece that is you on this day, and I am eternally grateful for it! I love you I love you I love you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!🤗🥳🤗🥳🤗🥳 #itsyourbirthday
Babe 🥰, to call you my own has been the greatest gift I have been given in this life. Selfless. Compassionate. Noble. These are just a few things
Summertime Camera Roll 🎥☀️🍉☺️ #summervibes #summer2022
I did it! 🥳 The first draft of my second novel is complete! Wow! I started this YA Contemporary novel on June 28th, 2021, and it’s now fully drafted on May 28th, 2022 (exactly 11 months since then). I didn’t plan that, but that’s so incredible considering the years it took me to write my first book. While my first book is my baby and will always have a special place in my heart, I am so excited for where my second book will go. So now, here’s where the hard work starts. But like I said when I got to 50,000 words, I want to remember this moment. On this day, my second novel is fully drafted at over 72,000 words, and I couldn’t be more proud of myself for it! If you would like to be a #betareader (someone who can look over my work and give me input), please don’t hesitate to DM me! #writingcommunity #amwriting #ya
