Sometimes God will let you live through the lies people told about you. 💯

He’ll let you sit in seasons where you’re misunderstood, misjudged, and even painted as someone you’re not. Not because He’s ignoring you but because He’s working something deeper in you that doesn’t need validation from people.

But what they don’t realize is God is not only a healer, He’s a revealer. And in His perfect timing, the same God who allowed the misunderstanding will turn the tables. The truth will speak. The fruit will show. And without you saying a word, your life will start to contradict every lie that was spoken over you. You won’t have to defend yourself… God will do it for you.

Just like Joseph… what they meant for evil, God will use for good. Just like David… what tried to destroy you will become the very thing God uses to establish you. So don’t rush to clear your name. Don’t break your peace trying to prove your heart. Live right. 🙏🏽 Stay submitted. Let God be God.

Because there will come a day when they’ll have to sit and watch the very person they misjudged… be blessed, restored, and covered by the hand of God 🙌🏽

You know over the years people have said that I’m controlling or controlling my husband. When people say these things, they think they’re insulting me when an actuality they’re insulting Dustin.
Im gonna let you in on a little secret….

No one in my life has been duct taped, shackled, chained, 🔫 to their head, trapped, caged, or even water boarded, not one.
I’m a firm believer that you have two eyes, two ears, two hands, 2 feet, a mouth and a brain. Shocking I know.

Did yall know he has his own job? His own money. His own phone?
Meaning he is left in the wild to fend for himself for like 8 solid hours. How do yall think he makes it? Runs a whole company and stuff.

I expect people to be adults. Now you wanna accuse me of high expectations? Guilty.
I expect people to have integrity, morals and speak truth.

And when you don’t? I remove MYSELF. I don’t give ultimatums. Actions tell me everything I need to know. I’m not gonna tell somebody who they can speak to or have relationships with. I’m gonna watch how you move and if it doesn’t align with my moral compass, I walk away. I control myself.

When you say that somebody is controlled or controlling, the only person that looks weak, is you. Stop giving someone power over your life. Stop assuming people have power over anyone else. We are all 100% in control of our own thoughts, our own actions, our own self, our own relationships and our own life. To blame anyone else is victimizing yourself.

Im not into blocking, I’m into adult conversations. But I can only do that with people who are at a mental capacity to have one. So if you create chaos and disrupt my peace, especially after years and years, I will take control of my own phone. My own time. My own space. My own life.

Strong people don’t control others they make educated decisions and take control of their own lives.

Look y’all, this is how controlled he is. I could barely get him to look up from work to notice my new shoes.

Everybody says they want peace… until they realize what it actually requires. Peace means learning how to watch your tone, even when you’re irritated. It means not turning every little thing into an argument. It means listening to understand, not just to respond. It’s about setting your own boundaries and also respecting the boundaries other people have in place. It also means being mindful about who you allow access to your energy. And that’s where a lot of people struggle. Because real peace isn’t just something you receive… it’s something you have to give. You can’t expect calm, understanding, and respect while still reacting in toxic ways. At some point, you have to become the type of person who creates the peace you’re asking for. 💯

Look at my sweetie pie honey bun.

He made us a taco bar in the studio today for lunch. He was home in between jobs and text me to see if we had eaten.

The thought this man puts into me. Into my staff. Into people he loves, is unmatched. Dustin has the most servant heart of any man I know. He pays attention. Detailed.

Some women need cards or flowers, but there is nothing better than to be fed, cared for and thought of.
To know him is to love him. I’m so blessed to call him my husband. 💙
