This Is How We Do It

This is freaking fantastic and something I’d probably do.

šŸ¤£ I love you regardless of how you identify, but nobody is going to force my girls to change in front of someone that is biologically a male.
If the child doesn’t feel comfortable changing in front of the boys - that’s fine and they should be given a safe space to change, but it’s not going to be anywhere near my girls.
In California right now girls are being forced to sign a mental health disorder acknowledgment form if they refuse to change in front of a biological male. Excuse the F out of me… A WHAT?!?!?!? We’ve lost our dang minds.

Dreadlocks??? Coming Soon!

New hair, who dis? I can’t tell you when the desire first hit me, but I’ve wanted locs for well over 20-25 years. I know people have strong opinions about them, and that’s your right, but I’ve never felt more like myself. These are braid-ins, so I can try them out. If all goes well, I’ll be going permanent, and I can’t wait. #yolo P.S. My daughter wanted to get locs, and she was cut down by people for it - told they were disgusting and that she’d regret it. Well, Momma decided she’d just get them done so she could see if she’d still want them. P.S.S. She helped put them in and loves them. Hair is a huge source of pride for people. I understand that. For me, being willing to do something with my hair that was unconventional in terms of "typical" beauty for a caucasian woman helps me focus on other aspects of my life - such as my character. I'm not spending so much time worrying about what my hair is doing. It just does what it does. I'm aware that I've been gi...

Wrecked by Communion & a Blue Van...

Image
 I was taking communion this evening, and as I considered some of the things Jesus went through on His way toward the cross (let alone His literal sacrifice), I was just struck with this feeling... How can anyone accept this outrageously undeserved gift?? Like, I understand that's the entire point of grace. It's undeserved merit or favor, and yes, it is absolutely undeserved... but I can't help but think of how I struggle to feel worthy of basic things in life... So how do we truly wrap our heads around God's value system?? Last week, our family got a new (to us) vehicle. We've had it for a little over a week now, and every time I look at it, I just can't help but feel like I don't deserve it. šŸ˜¢ Like, it's absolutely beautiful. It's a deep blue Honda Odyssey van. Only 3 years old. 55kish miles on it. It had all the bells & whistles I was hoping for & more. It's the most expensive/luxurious vehicle we have ever owned... BUT it actually c...

Toxic People

Image
I think Christians in particular have a very hard time knowing how to deal with toxic people (especially if it's family). I know for myself, I often think of that verse that says to "turn the other cheek" and assume that means I just need to grin and bear it.  Something I've noticed, though, while reading the gospels recently, is that Jesus didn't just let people run their mouths at Him. If someone was trying to manipulate him, He'd answer their question with a question of His own. He'd walk away or even simply stay silent. He kinda let the air out of their tanks (thanks, Lego Movie) and stopped them in their tracks by making them think.  It's worth noting that He wouldn't get into long, drawn-out, heated debates with people, but He wasn't afraid to speak the truth in love either. His identity wasn't found in forcing someone to believe or even understand Him (how I wish more people understood this).  I struggle with this greatly. I feel lik...
