Ooooooo Heyyyyyyyyyy Ya'll!!!!!! It has |LITERALLY| been forever! So before I go in...let me catch you guys up on ALL that's been going on. 

Sooooo where do I begin...FIRST of all... I am finally stationery & in a settled place in my life spiritually & physically where I feel like I can grow the most. I moved from NC in 2016 & relocated to VA where I lived for almost 2 years before moving back home. There were a lot of different factors that played in the decision of me coming back home but most importantly I feel God knew I needed to be where my HEART truly is #HOME #NC! 

Before the move I was really losing IT! It being ME. It being MY MIND. IT being EVERYTHING ! I was losing it. I was literally watching myself drown in heartache & pain. & I was changing right before my very eyes. That is something that I NEVER imagined would happen to ME. I had been thru many things but nothing made me change more than the process of me losing myself & becoming someone I know that I wasn't destined to be. Honestly, that pain & that season in my life was probably harder than going thru the physical abuse that I dealt with in my previous relationships or dealing with rejection or mommy/daddy issues.

Babyyy, let me tell YOU tho.. " What doesn't kill you ONLY makes you stronger! " I am so not even mad at everything that I went thru because honeyyyy... when I tell you the process is in the process of birthing a QUEEN & creating a jewel so rare & unseen that I literally can NOT be mad at the process or at life's chains of events. GOD absolutely positively be knowing. & truly EVERYTHING that has tried to break me has only fueled this fire inside. The devil probably really should've killed me when he had the chance because every time I fall down & get back up & go EVEN HARDER. 

" I was gone for a minute but I'm back with the jump off " -Kim Jones

On those days that your COMFORT ZONE calls & you ignore the call.
When honestly that is where you would much rather be.
You decline COMFORT'S invitation because DESTINY has been on Your other line for quite some time. & You've been neglecting her all the while except for NOW & when Your COMFORT ZONE is whispering sweet nothings in Your ear
Telling You to come be with him where there's no fear because You're FAMILIAR with him
that's second nature to Your body. 
Forget that DESTINY was calling. 
But when DESTINY quickly rises up & takes a STAND
& TELLS COMFORT TO GET GONE & TO LOOSE IT'S HANDS. DESTINY SAT ME DOWN & SPOKE TO ME & SAID, "I AM GOING TO ENJOY THIS PROCESS!" 

- excerpt from Heart of Latrell *coming soon*

When you realize that the problems weren't or aren't there to dull my shine, but to affect my grind.

When you realize that the problems only made you stronger. The fear only made you hunger.

The applied pressure only made you go harder because of God's plans to take you further.

See God has unimaginable dreams to bless me unexpectedly. More abundantly,

Than anything that I could ever see.

How dare I question His plan for me.

Although it hasn't been easy I am in love with this journey.

To this Queen within me.

See there's royalty in us all, we all have to look to the creator, your maker to see.

He sits high & looking down. Always ready to adjust our crowns.

To make us reach our highest potential & love the inner even uglier parts that we've found.

That make us the kings & queens we are. Who said being royalty wouldn't be hard.

But thank God for being our Father, to help us when we go further. Help us to chase our dreams & passions.

Help us to love one another more than we love fashion.

Lord, help us ladies to love YOU more than we love men.

Lord, help us to love YOU more than we love sin.

Lord, help us to search our hearts daily.

Help us to learn & trust YOUR ways like little babies.

As we mature in YOU help us to understand, that's the key to maturing in life.

Help our men to love their wives like you loved the church giving your life.

Help us to rise above the strife to love each other. Black & White.

Help us to be who you created us to be! Help us to look in the mirror daily & say I LOVE ME!

Help us to know & understand that looking to You is truly the KEY to every success

You only have plans to prosper & bless.

Help us to trust your plans the good & the bad!

Lord, I thank you daily for what you do for me.

My purpose My Vision Help me to see!

Help me to see clearer God help me to never have fear.

Except when it comes to reverencing You.

Lord My life is not my own. Help me to do what you would have me to do! 💋
