Mission
History says "Be afraid." God says "Do not be afraid." Systems say "You're worthless." God says "you're my masterpiece." Folks say "be quiet!" But God made you for such a time as this, sis!
​
Joshua 1:9 says, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." This truth sustains me while navigating the Spirit and the worldly matters, because divine courage is necessary to carry on the scribal legacy of fiery truth telling.
