Amazing Reflection

A few months ago on my 39th birthday, I spoke to my parents early that morning as I always do, and as they shared with me how proud they are of me.  I shared that everything I did, I did it for them.  Seriously — I always wanted to make them proud.  I always wanted

Let your yes be your yes

At work, I am constantly harping on my team to keep their word.  When we tell I client that we will do something or can do something, we follow through with those promises I am fascinated by how much God’s words line up with even my professional life.  In James 5:12 the bible reads, “…let

Time for Everything?

Because my schedule is a bit crazy and as always there is so much I want to do, be apart of, be on top of, I have had to rethink the alignment of my life.  Recently, I was walking around Kirklands and saw the most relevant wall art.  It said, “I am every woman but

Untitled; Simply My Heart

Rescue me from the mire, do not let me sink.  Deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep waters.  Psalm 69:4 In a time where such feelings of difficulty and distress are around you, do not sink. Do not sink to the hatefulness of those around you.  Do not sink to becoming someone

Life — Like a Vapor

    Over and over when I was younger I remember my father saying that life is like a vapor. More and more as I watch those I have known and love pass away around me, it becomes even more clear. While I know that many things in this life are outside of my ability

Write the Vision and Make it Plain

As I prepared our home to go be seen by potential buyers, I came across a somewhat pencil-smeared sheet of writing paper on the side of our fridge with a host of pictures, magnets, and other announcements.  The sheet of paper was kind of buried behind the other items so I had not seen it

The Midnight Shift

I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. (Ps 4.8) Most of us work conventional hours known as the “first shift”. We work a common 9-5 type of schedule. These are the workers most known within the organization. Everyone knows that they work and

Recovering Type A

My name is Latoya Morris and I am recovering Type A.  I don’t know much about the 12 step program but I do know that the first step is acknowledging there is a problem.  Today I recognize not just that I am a Type A but that I don’t want to be, there is no

Not All Moms Have Kids

For many women today is the day where they are celebrated for having children, but for some it is the day that they are reminded in a large way that they do not.  Mother’s Day celebrates moms for the day-to-day way they care for, or have cared for their children; but the work begins long

Little Note of Thanks for my “God-sources”

This morning, the day of my bi-weekly fast with my dear siblings, I began to be thankful not just for my resources, but for my “God-sources”. If a resource is defined as a stock or supply of money, materials, staff, and other assets that can be drawn on by a person or organization in order to
