Wow! We made it to episode 2 and today’s tea was/is classic peppermint. I’ve added some lemon today with my honey and all is well. Hallelujah Anyhow must be talked about. Psalm 23 must be talked about so why not together… because Psalm 23 is hallelujah anyhow. And we all know the scripture and what it says, but: I’ve learned connotation and denotation are two very different notations. We may know the valley is a low place but the feeling it gives is different from how it’s defined. When we say the word valley we can just mean a space of trees, usually accompanied by a source of water, almost always with surrounding hills and mountains. But when we hear the word valley- when you know the valley because you’ve been to the valley before, you could feel it as a low depression on Earth, with its potential glaciers surrounded by upward challenges apart of the path. This is because the valley is between the ranges but not one in itself. It’s a means to end. It’s a space and a place where God grants provision. Faith is revealed in the valley, unexpected abundance is available and emotions grow here but not without a walk on its path. Walk with me, sip tea with me and reflect on the grace we’ve all received in our time in the valley. Hallelujah Anyhow!

Who’s on the Mainline? Can you guess the tea today? I decided to brew a blend that includes Georgia sweet with a lil kick because well we’re kind of jumpstarting something today , right? A little extra spice won’t hurt when it comes to this message of Psalms verse that’s inspired by a King’s son. I would say more but it’s probably better that you listen. In today’s episode we’re going back in time just a little but it all comes together for the good of believers. In this very relatable ten minute message, you have the chance to discover your own inner thoughts and conversations when you’re in a stressful situation because I’ll be sharing mine. What are you waiting for? The deliverance won’t come in a description box. You may want to just hit play and don’t worry, there’s an extended version of this episode coming this week so if you like the under ten minute version, chances are a more detailed episode may be worth its wait in gold to you. Sip slow, Reya

If you’re expecting this Bible Ministry to ‘look’ a certain way- it will certainly disappoint you. But if you’re looking for something different than many other ministries you’ve found a good place so stay awhile. This is a safe space for you to listen, share and learn more about yourself through my stories, scriptures I select, and what I’ve observed in this life. In this intro- you get a close up on what this new podcast series is… as well as what it isn’t and why it’s even happening in the first place. Because does the world really neeeeed a new and different version of ministry? Maybe not, but I don’t make the rules and sometimes, only sometimes I may not follow them either. This series is one of those times. So if you’re anticipating a typical delivery of the scripture or certain proclamation of why I’m the perfect ordained entity you won’t get it. I may not sound like what you had in mind, and while I am moved by the Word, I’m rarely moved by outside opinions. Feel free to leave them in the comments though. Dark or light, good or bad, we possess the choice to express either. Im human and I won’t be going out of my way to adjust my life to fit in a ministry box. I’m not perfect and I’m okay with moving forward without feeling perfect. You could be too and this ministry can be encouraging for that but it won’t be encouraging me to a point of toxic positivity or not being how do you say it, real? I’m not artificial intelligence- I’m a person with experiences! I want to share those to inspire and awaken. For those who will enjoy this new series, thank you so much and mark your calendar for September because that’s when the series commences. In the meantime let’s connect in the comments as well as you exploring my previous series. Let’s love scripture together and find deeper ways to love ourselves and the people around us. So I ask you leave a comment, “good” or “bad”. In praise or not. We all have thoughts, opinions and that’s what this media platform is really here for anyway.

When you’ve seen the storm of disappointment, keep looking for the rainbow. For some, the rainbow looks like fulfillment, and for others it could be some other form of revitalization, replenishment, or even a promise. For this Mommy of one, the rainbow is her baby and the storm was…well, she can let you know better than me. That’s because it’s her story and it’s a faith filled expedition that continues to run its own course, with or without… Listen as Deidre inspires other mommies to keep moving toward their own heart’s desire- even when the results aren’t immediate. True to the athlete spirit, Deidre brings tenacity and cultivation through spirit led actions that have helped her in career, marriage and new mommy hood.

Years later and as it turns out, things can change- or maybe it’s best to say that we do. How we look at what’s just happened versus what has happened and determine perspective can shake our core and pattern a less resistant acceptance of those experiences that can happen to us all. Resilience is something this Mom knows about, and even so her gratitude for the support she’s received throughout her Mommy experience from the beginning is palpable. No support can take away from what’s taken away, but from Dreneshia you’ll get some sense that finding balance in it all is the balance of it all. From a highschool pregnancy, to becoming a Mother In Law that prefers to be called ‘Honey’ over ‘Grandmother’, listen to a convo that reads more like a story. Press play and you’re sure to appreciate it.

You’re going to want to be sitting down for this one. Come in come in come on in… Where do I begin? Because just how you must unpack when you finish taking a trip- you’ll want to unpack this whole episode gingerly and it may have you pressing rewind just to be sure you hear it all. In today’s episode! Meet Mandi, again and see what’s changed her life, and what’s changed in it. We’re very optimistic this Mama is on the track where your faith is not only required but also your grace. Oh the things your faith will bring to pass! While not knowing is something we all face as moms, for some more than others this is a sacred shared experience that births change in how other moms cope with the same unknowing. Mandi is bringing not only awareness to the unknown, she’s bringing her faith and her research to other moms who know there’s got to be more to know. Stop reading, start listening. This is a valuable convo.

As if raising daughters didnt already come with enough unique experiences…but what if that one special grandmother created your blue print for you. Just by showing up in her authenticity, she makes it empowering to do the same as a mom. So the young girls in the family, including one we interview today, grow to encompass the very same sense of self and worth. Plot twist! Your grandmother had all boys. And it wouldn’t be until she had grand babies that she could truly share this wisdom with her grand daughters. The resolution? My grandmother had to wait to see her own gender in offspring from her sons, so she was full of all the wisdoms these grand daughters would hold and pass down to their own. Sounds beautiful? There’s more.

Ever wonder what it would be like to be a mom and promote a book with the title, “Putting Me First”? Wonder no more lol because today’s mom unapologetically proves you can absolutely be a confident mom while exercising both patience with your babies and self care as a woman at the same d@mn time. Put another way, Putting Me First means giving yourself the oxygen mask first so you can breathe while helping others. Want to hear more? Of course you do!

Good Morning, Beautiful! Enjoy your five minute message. This is the only good morning message you will need and it’s just for you! Pivot. It’s the word of the day and it’s not as disappointing as you’d think it’d be. So maybe you’ve been marching to a beat for a while at this point. You have a rhythm…a timed plan but maybe it’s time for a new song. In my farewell to Good Morning, Beautiful in 2025 I’m embracing change and calling for it all at one time. There is no past or future, just the now. And even in the now, the sky isn’t even the limit only you and your old thoughts are. Just pivot, and see something new, feel something change, be something greater. It’s your new song and it sounds so sweet!

Good Morning, Beautiful! Please enjoy your five minute message. This is the only good morning message you need. It’s really all about you. In today’s world- and all the others I’m sure- you will find we’re all praying for what’s within. We’re essentially asking to see what we already hold. The peace you have is just that. It’s yours, you live with it everyday and so while we can pray others see their own peace we also have our own. It’s a fruit of the spirit and that most eternal part of you has all the peace your heart can in-joy. Now go on beautiful. Grant your self the peace you desire now. Give your self the flowers. Walk in your own sunshine. Love the shadow that follows. @DayForty1

Good Morning, Beautiful! This is the only good morning message you will need. This one is just for you! Gratitude grows so don’t be afraid to start small. In this episode i suggest being grateful for just one of your two shoes. It won’t hurt you to. And yet, being grateful for the one is all you need to crack open a big door of goodness. And maybe even a new shoe box with a gorgeous new pair. Crazier things happen all the time. This podcast is available on my YouTube channel too. The inspiration for my big thank you episode isn’t my shoes. It’s all the amazing YouTube subscribers and their likes and support of the podcast episodes.
