Letter 20/24: The valley

 Blessed Sunday 2024,


How did your last Sunday go? It’s been chilled vibes this side. I’ve embraced fatigue at this point. It’s the new normal…


Let’s go to church. 


I didn’t really have a theme this year. Not sure how this happened but, I was just set at “Lord help me”. A number of scriptures came through for me but one sticks out. Your timeline has made me look at Psalm 23 in a different light. Look, this scripture showed me flames. You’d swear God used this scripture to speak (read reprimand) to me. I won’t have the strength to go all of them. Let me touch on the few. 


First of all, you were valley that verse 4 refers to. Yes. Homegirl you were something else. You had me questioning what they mean when they say “even though I walk”. Walk? Who walks through that valley? I crawled myself through there on your timeline. On days when I wasn’t just sitting still, I just crawled to move ahead. My knees are a few shades darker! 


Secondly, I had a bone to pick with verse 1. My biggest want of the year was not to be on that strong persons list. It was a  desperate need and an even more desperate want. My prayer is for whoever is in charge of this list to remove me for next year. I am just a girl shame.


My last reflection point is on gratitude. I heard the back story of why shepherds pour oil on sheep - as a means of protection. Heyi, the Lord is my Shepherd! He literally greased these locks with oil and made me slippery. Call Neo and Trinity right now - I’ve dodged way more bullets. You’ve made me the one, 2024 🙏🏽
