#SundaySpirit (April 6, 2025)

Today I felt led to share a quick reflection..

As I sit here watching the news, scrolling my socials—natural disasters, political unrest, economic breakdowns—I’m reminded of just how chaotic these times are. We keep hearing the word unprecedented, but beyond the buzzwords, there’s a deep truth: this moment is unlike anything we’ve ever lived through. And yet, here we are. Still breathing. Still choosing.

That’s the key: choice. With all the mess in the world, we still have the ability to course correct. As messy, complex, and flawed as we are, we are also powerful. We can choose how we show up. And I truly believe that this may be one of the most free generations in human history—especially with technology, interconnectedness, and awareness cracking open across the globe. So what will we do with that freedom?

Something else has been sitting heavy on my spirit: we’ve developed a habit of retreating from spaces where our light is most needed. Whether that’s in our workplace, our families, or institutions we once found value in—it’s become easier to judge the space than to transform it. But that’s not how we’re called to move.

Personally, I’ve wrestled with this. There are days when I don’t even want people to know I work where I work—but when I show up, I know I shift the atmosphere. I know I bring light. And that matters.

We say we’re spiritual, we say we’re awakened, but what good is awakening if it’s never shared in the spaces that need it most? That’s like the Messiah refusing to show up because they're the only one who has it “together.” And yet—they show up anyway. Because love shows up. The light doesn’t run. That’s the calling.

And listen, I’m not speaking from some place of moral perfection—I’m on this journey too. This season of my life has been one of deep reflection and re-alignment. I’ve had to confront myself, check my own ego, and truly ask: Am I living what I say I believe? Not in soundbites. Not in curated quotes. But in my choices, in my relationships, in how I manage life. 

It’s been difficult. It’s been humbling. But it’s been worth it.

Because I know this for sure: healing, forgiveness, parenting, loving—it all inner work.

And just as it starts with us, it ends with us, too. Not in judgment, not in ego, but in learning. What we do with what we know is our responsibility. We can’t keep hoarding wisdom, weaponizing knowledge, or using pain as a crutch. We are here to learn and love better—that’s how we build the kingdom. From within. Outward. 

So I share this as a sister, a mother, a wife, a woman still learning how to lead with light.This is my Sunday Spirit.

And if it resonated with you, take a moment to pause, breathe, and ask: Where is there space to course correct? Where do you need to shine your light?
