My Randumbness blog was created to give hope and encouragement. I wanted it to be a breath of fresh air from the chaoticness of what this world brings. I want readers to be totally taken away from their worries and cares.

You May Need Glasses

Sometimes, we need a different kind of vision to truly see. You need four eyes to see not in the literal sense, but in a deeper way. Our hearts act as glasses for our eyes. When the heart is engaged, it allows us to see clearly. But here’s the question: What’s in your heart? The […]

Have a Ready Mindset

I recently faced a dilemma that reminded me of the importance of having a ready mindset. Someone I knew was standing in faith for the full recovery of a sick loved one. I joined them in believing for healing, but I added, “Even if the unexpected happens, God is faithful. Whatever His will is, it’s […]

It Is What It Is

When we moved back to Georgia, I had a plan. I was excited about spending more time with my kids. Now that we’re all adults, I thought it would be an opportunity to truly get to know one another on a deeper level. I envisioned us having adult conversations, sharing adult hugs and kisses, and […]

Am I Thomas?

After Jesus was resurrected, the disciples were overjoyed to see Him. But Thomas wasn’t there. When they told him the good news, he didn’t believe it. He said, “Unless I see the nail marks in His hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into His side, I will not […]

What If It All Works Out?

How about if it all works out? That simple thought shifted me from worry to faith. Instead of focusing on everything that could go wrong, I started thinking about what could go right. It’s a mindset change that feels small but carries so much power. Worrying about the unknown doesn’t change the outcome it only […]

Appreciated, Not Tolerated

You should be in relationships where you are appreciated, not merely tolerated. Anything less is a disservice to yourself and a relationship built on pretense. For me, being truly connected to someone means having the space to be vulnerable, honest, and fully myself. Surface-level connections don’t fulfill me I long for depth, understanding, and mutual […]

The Growth in Discomfort

It’s good for me—this idea of finding comfort in being uncomfortable. It sounds crazy because comfort is what we naturally seek. It makes perfect sense to want to stay in a place that feels safe and familiar. But there are seasons in life where comfort must be set aside. These are the moments that stretch […]

The Power of Contentment

Why am I doing the things? That question has lingered with me since I remembered a time when I was completely content wearing my old Skechers. They were comfortable, functional, and met my needs—until someone pointed out the holes in them. Embarrassment crept in, and despite having the means to replace them, I hadn’t because […]

The Power of Restraint

Just because I can doesn’t mean I should. It’s a simple truth, yet one I’ve come to deeply appreciate over time. I have many liberties at my disposal—freedoms I could easily exercise. When I was younger, I thought adulthood was all about having the ability to do anything I wanted, as long as it didn’t […]

The Gift of Being Known

Imagine being surrounded by people who don’t truly know who you are. They might have an idea of you—perhaps even a concept of who they think you are—but they don’t understand the things that bring you joy or the moments that weigh your spirit down. They don’t see how deeply you believe the world is […]

Work the Plan Designed for You

Not every plan is one-size-fits-all. What works for someone else may not work for you—and that’s okay. You have to embrace the idea of working a plan that’s tailored to you, your strengths, and your circumstances. We often get frustrated when we try to follow a plan that wasn’t designed with us in mind. There’s […]

What If It’s a Privilege?

This morning, I woke up reflecting on the idea that starting over is not a setback—it’s a privilege. It’s an opportunity to create the life I truly want, leaving behind what no longer serves me. All the old things are gone, and now I can move forward at my own pace, without pressure or haste. […]

Parents should be given grace

As I get older, I find myself becoming more empathetic toward my parents. I’m beginning to see them as simply human beings—people navigating life the best they can. They didn’t come into this world knowing how to be parents, grandparents, or even elderly individuals. They’re learning, just as we all are, and they deserve a […]

Age Is Nothing but a Number

Who created this life timetable, anyway? It seems as if there’s an unspoken rulebook: you should be married by this age, have children by that age, own a house by this age, and have a certain amount in your investments by that age. The list could go on forever. And honestly, it can be overwhelming, […]

Smile because it happened…

“Don’t be sad because it ended. Smile because it happened.” When I heard this, it sparked something inside me, a glimmer of hope that I hadn’t felt in a while. I had been feeling a bit down about no longer living in Los Angeles. For over two years, it was a true privilege to call […]

You are not crazy you are just the first

Being the first in my family to break generational trauma has been a journey with no map, no guide, and often no support. It’s like stepping into the unknown, where every move can feel awkward, uncertain, even “crazy.” Without breadcrumbs to follow, I’ve had to learn by making mistakes, sometimes big ones. And those mistakes […]

Who’s My Daddy?

In my mid-twenties, I got a call that I’ll never forget. A young girl was on the line, and she told me she was my sister. She explained that her dad had shared stories about me, and she said I even looked like his sister. It was a shock, to say the least. We talked […]

You Are Right Where You’re Supposed to Be

Sometimes, it’s easy to wonder if we’re really on the right path, especially if our journey has taken unexpected turns. But here’s the truth: you are exactly where you’re supposed to be. Time hasn’t been wasted on you. Every experience, every setback, every triumph—it’s all part of the story that’s brought you here. By letting […]

Growing pains hurts

Sometimes, it really is goodbye. Certain relationships, no matter how strong they once were, have an expiration date. I always knew this concept existed, but only recently have I truly experienced it. People come into our lives for specific reasons or seasons, each with their own purpose. But when the season ends, we’re left with […]

Love just is…

I once asked my husband, “How do you love me no matter what?” He makes loving me look so easy. He cares for me graciously, without complaint, always there for me. At times, I find myself wondering, how on earth did I get so blessed to have a husband like him? He is a real-life […]

Why it’s okay not to be okay…

It’s okay to not be okay. I’m beginning to understand that this acceptance is a crucial part of the healing process. Admitting that something hurts, feels uncomfortable, or is taking longer than expected is often the first step. This honesty brings the truth about a situation to the surface, allowing healing to truly begin. It’s […]

Back Where I Started

I’ve come to a place of acceptance—a quiet but profound shift in my journey. I’m learning to be okay with my current state of being, to sit with where I am and let go of what once kept me from feeling at peace. Pursuing purpose isn’t always the easy, inspiring path I imagined. Sometimes, it […]

Uncertainty

It’s been nearly a month since returning to Atlanta, and this past year has felt like a whirlwind. Yet, I never saw myself here—back at home, with no transportation, staying with family. The reality has brought up so many emotions. I’m grappling with a deep sense of uncertainty, unsure if I can trust myself—my decisions, […]

Turning Frustration into Action: How Your Words Can Make a Difference

It’s easy to complain about the state of the world. I’ve found myself frustrated by the things I see around me—social media filled with negativity, people hurting, and a culture that seems more divided than united. But then I realize: if I’m not doing anything to make it better, I’m just adding to the noise. […]

From Struggle to Strength: Why You Shouldn’t Give Up

Sometimes, it feels like we’re stuck, swimming in circles, making no progress. I’m reminded of a story from The Slight Edge—two frogs trapped in a pail of cream. One frog gave up, exhausted, but the other kept swimming, refusing to quit. At first, it seemed pointless, but in the end, his persistence churned the cream […]

A new boldness

Recently, I found myself with a few old phone cases that were in great condition. So, I decided to go outside my door and ask everyone I saw what kind of phone they had. Many didn’t have the same model, but that didn’t stop us from chatting about other things. I met so many people […]

You are the purpose

Have you ever wondered if God could really use you—the real you, not some idealized version? We are all unique, divinely crafted with a specific purpose. The beautiful truth is that you don’t have to search for your purpose; you are purpose. You were intentionally made to embody it, and because of that, you can […]

Less is More: How Starting Fresh in California Redefined My Happiness.

You can start over as many times as you want. There aren’t any rules to life, and there’s nothing wrong with starting over. In fact, starting over is a fresh beginning, a new way to learn and grow. I’ve started over several times, and by now, I’d say I’m somewhat of an expert on the […]

The beautiful transformation in Jesus Christ

Lately, I’ve developed a fascination with butterflies, though I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that I used to be afraid of them. In my defense, they looked kind of scary to me. Sure, their wings are beautiful, but their bodies definitely screamed “insect,” and I’ve never been a fan of insects! To make matters worse, […]

More than what we seem: becoming something spectacular

We are so much more than our jobs or the challenges we face. Our true essence goes beyond the roles we play or the circumstances we find ourselves in. Like the water hyacinth, an aquatic plant that thrives on the surface of water, we too have the potential to grow and bloom beautifully, even in […]

Unwavering Strength: How My Husband Inspires Me Every Day

My husband is my real-life motivator. Every day, he gets up early and works as unto the Lord. How he keeps going, even through adversity, amazes me. He has vision in only one eye, and even that isn’t at its best right now. He recently had surgery to help improve it, but the healing process […]

Where’s the fire?

I’ve been following Jesus for a long time, journeying through seasons of trials and victories. The beautiful thing about seasons is that they can change in an instant. Yet, through every shift and every challenge, my fire for Christ hasn’t been snuffed out. It’s almost impossible for it to be because Christ is the fire. […]

Everyone needs a Judas

I once heard a sermon titled “Everyone Needs a Judas.” At first, the idea seemed controversial. Why would anyone need a betrayer in their life? But as I grew in my faith and gained more life experience, the truth behind this message became clear. We all do, in fact, need a Judas to reach our […]

“A Journey of Faith and Dependence”

I’ve been called out about something that I thought that I hid well. I didn’t make California my home in my heart. I haven’t fully unpacked, or organized like I usually do when I move into a new place. I haven’t made a list of home decor that I want to make our place a […]

I want to grow up spiritually

I woke up this morning with burdens brewing up inside of me. I’m having to constantly battle with all the hurts and offenses that I try to forgive. It saddens me when someone drops off what someone has said about me. What grieves me is that they want a response from me. Experience has taught […]

How do I stay encouraged?

When life deals you lemons, make lemonade. Yes, I know it sounds corny. I’ve had many lemons. Now I’m quite fond of lemonade. It was a time I didn’t think positive. It was a time when I didn’t stay encouraged. To be transparent, it was a time I just wallowed in self pity and doubt. […]

Small steps

It only takes a few small steps in the right direction not leaps. Yet, I believed I accomplished more when I felt I did more. That’s simply a falsehood. Small, consistent steps brings healthy stable habits. In addition, it produces a contentment and patience. Oh, how I wish some would just slow down to see […]

Parents should be given grace

As I get older, I find myself becoming more empathetic toward my parents. I’m beginning to see them as simply human beings—people navigating life the best they can. They didn’t come into this world knowing how to be parents, grandparents, or even elderly individuals. They’re learning, just as we all are, and they deserve a […]

Embracing Change: One Step Closer to Infinity and Beyond

As I reflect on the upcoming weekend, a sense of anticipation fills the air. It’s the calm before the storm, the last moments of an era marked by constant pain in my right hip. In just a few days, I’ll be undergoing surgery, stepping into the unknown with a mix of excitement and apprehension. I […]

May I speak?

I’m learning that everything isn’t always profitable that comes out my mouth. I must not always say what’s in mind. It’s been a constant battle with my tongue and me. I’m having to chant in my head, “think before you speak”. It is truly a time to speak and a time not speak. But knowing […]

Do you want your marriage?

Our marriage has been through money problems, affairs, job loss, in-laws and you want the marriage? I know what I’m talking about. If you are not being abused you can have marriage you want. If I had to correlate marriage from year to year, I would use baseball. I hit that ball everyday but at times I strike […]

20 Seconds?

You only need to muster up 20 seconds of courage to do anything. Everything I’ve ever done, I was petrified when doing it. I figured if it has to been done, I’ll have to do it trembling and shaking. I am a person who believed that others have great abilities. But I’m around to just encourage and […]
