Sometimes when you’ve been single for so long, you forget what that opposite sex interaction is like. And you miss it. And you want it. And a little bit of hope is rekindled and you think that maybe love like this still exists.

But also, we’re not trying to be out in the streets trapped in situationship after situationship. We’d rather be safe and at peace and alone with Jesus than out here with our hearts being played with.

Lord, be our strength. 🙏🏾

Contrary to popular belief, we are not meant to get along and be friends with everyone. We actually need enemies in our lives. How else are we going to get to experience the feast God has prepared for us? According to Psalm 23:5, our enemies gotta be there—-witnessing everything.

So we welcome enemies around these parts. Come, have a seat, and stay awhile and watch as we get BLESSED! 😅😌

Humans can roughly have at least 6,000 thoughts a day. Wild, right?

How many of those thoughts are actually productive? How many of those thoughts are leaving you feeling anxious and/or depressed?

We have got to learn how to take every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5), and not let our thoughts lead us down destructive paths.

We probably all need therapy, especially since we’re basically just some grown kids who didn’t get all the tender loving care (TLC) , love, attention, affection, and more when we were in our childlike “innocent” and “pure” years.

We need to make a date and sit down with that little boy or little girl in our hearts. Let’s really process what went down back then, what’s still irking us, and what’s holding us back.

Coparenting with the other parent is already hard enough. But when the other parent remarries, it can really throw off the whole dynamic.

Parents in this situation should aim to communicate with one another and parent their child together effectively, without the new spouse or significant other.

Just let her cook!

The red flags are a warning, not a circus. Don’t ignore them. It could cost you your life…literally.

If you compare the pilot episode of a sitcom to the final episode of the show, it’s usually COMPLETELY different. Like they don’t even look like siblings AT ALL.

Welcome to the pilot episode of In Lieu of Therapy! ✨

Ain’t no theme song, visuals, reels, or edits here. Yet. We just out here talkin’, getting these expressions out since the therapy search is on pause for now. Hopefully…you leave with a giggle, some inspo, some Jesus, SOMETHING! And if not, thanks for listening! It’s all love. 🫶🏾
