Bail Money Crew

BAIL MONEY CREW


I thought  I would introduce you to my bail money crew. These two women have my back no matter what at all times. On the left, that's me, Nanci. I'm the baby (I'm not the youngest though, being the baby is a state of mind not just a number!) In the middle is my sister, Nedia; she's literally my BEST FRIEND. No, she doesn't like pictures and she'll probably kill me knowing that I posted this (shhh, don't tell her). On the right, that's my mama, Johnnie. Yes, she's a woman named Johnnie and no, it's not Johnnie Mae it's just Johnnie. These are the women that I want to be when I grow up one day. Like any siblings growing up, we had our rivalries and we had our arguments but as we've become women, we've become more than sisters. When I am at my lowest, she's there for me. She'll listen without judgment and I appreciate that. I also think she's pretty darn cute. I would consider my mama a great woman even if she wasn't my mama. I mean look at her, ain't she the bees knees?!?!? Not only does God know her heart, she has the heart of God. She has a giving and willing spirit and I truly aspire to be like her. Both of them set a great example of motherhood and sisterhood. Not going to bore you with too many details but just know that if I decide to lose my cool too much, these two, they got the bail money!

Be blessed. Be bold. Be beautiful.

Unfriended

I offended someone this week for being concerned for their well being. Sadly, they did not see it that way. My assumption is that they took it as me being nosey or trying to be all in their business. Whatever the reason they were so offended by it that I got an angry phone call full of loaded words and insults and a subsequent unfriending on Facebook. This story is not uncommom. Often times when we are offended or if someone has made us mad, one of the first things we do is go to our social media avenues and unfriend, unfollow, and block the offending party. WE. ALL. DO. IT. We do not take the time to pick up the phone (other than to go to our social media pages) call the other person and TALK it out. It's unfortunate. Great relationships end and can seemingly never be repaired because of our actions on social media.  While I am not upset or hurt by the actions of the person who called me with colorful words then unfriended me, it made me glad that God won't just push a

He Sees The Best In Me

I wrote the following a little over 5 years ago and I think it rings true to me now as it did then. It speaks to the knowledge that God DOES see the best in us. God truly knows my heart. He knows your heart. He uses people that don't even know you exist to send His message of love. This time it was through gospel music artist, Marvin Sapp and his song "He Saw the Best in Me" Are there times when you just have a hard time knowing you are truly loved? Well the following shows that this is not a new feeling for me and it is something that five years later, I'm still working on enjoy! (I was pregnant with Myah when I wrote it and an emotional roller coaster) He Saw the Best in me, when everyone else around me could only see the worst in me! I love Marvin Sapp for it seems as though whenever I'm going through it's as if God comes to him and says "Nanci needs to hear these words." I'll be honest, it feels personal. When I started on this journ

I love God. I love to talk. I love to write. I love my older sister. I thought that maybe I would sit down and share with you how this love is combined. I also thought that I would share with you all my flaws. I have a lot of them. That's why my sister undeniably has my bail money. No, I don't think that I'll do anything that will ever land me in jail (with the way that folks are dying in jails and whatnot, that would not be a good look) but it's the point that no matter what, I know that my sister has my back. I've got a lot of people in my life that also have my back but there is something about my older sister that I know that I know that I know that I know, she's got me no matter what. Kinda like the love God has for me. I see God in my sister...I'm rambling but I hope that you take this ride with me and enjoy the process as much as I think I will as well. Let's GO!!!! Be blessed. Be bold. Be beautiful. Nanci
