Don't Go Back





Hey, Bighead 👋

How many times have you been minding your business and then, out of nowhere, something from your past decides to show up? You've been doing great! You have a new job! You maybe even have a new car!  And, most importantly, you are enjoying your relationship with God and the season that you're in! Life is Gucci! Then bam! Here comes the one thing that used to trip you up and take you off course.

Maybe you were caught up in a toxic relationship, but you found the courage to walk away. Are you feeling lonely and tempted to go back because that's all you've ever known? It could be an old habit or addiction that you couldn't "function" without, but you found the strength to break it. Do you get an itch every now and then to go back and get that instant high? Or it could be an old way of thinking that you once operated in, but you learned to trade those thoughts for better ones. Do you find yourself still allowing negativity to cloud your mind?

The enemy hates to see you doing good! He doesn't want you making progress in any area of your life. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy! He wants to use your former vices to lure you away from God and the abundant life that you can live in Him. He watches us and waits for the moments when we are most vulnerable. It's like the ex that will text, "Hey, Bighead" after you post a cute selfie. You looking good! You doing good! You good good! And they want that old thing back. Maybe they didn't know how good they had it. They miss you and now they want to shoot their shot! Unfortunately, just like last time, they are still no good for you! But, if you aren't paying attention to what's really going on, you will find yourself reminiscing on the "good times" that really weren't good at all. Before you know it, you are caught up...AGAIN!

The good news is that you have a choice. You can either go back to your ex or you can live your life with the new thing that God has for you. One of the hardest things to do is change. It's even harder to maintain the change. But nothing is harder than avoiding change and facing the reality of an unhappy, unfulfilled life. Go forward. Don't turn back.

A Bumpy Start

  As I embark on my journey of a fresher face, I realize that it will come with some critics. My biggest one would have to be none other than myself. Every single time I wash my face, I see a contestant on America's Got Blemishes. See what I did there? Lol. Anyway, I really can't remember what my skin used to look like and I REFUSE to pull those pictures back out! I've started out with the basic water and towel regime which never fails when it comes to feeling less disgusting at the end of the day. But with make-up comes a new kind of "end of the day" dirt. The kind of dirt that keeps Palmolive, Tide, and Zest in business. Especially, when you can't wash your face until the very end of the day. My poor pores got about as much air as a resident of Bikini Bottom. As I continued to follow my gut regarding which face soaps to use, I never really remained consistent long enough to get real results. I had always been a microwave type of person(fast results) ...

Who made up make-up?

I started wearing make-up when I was about 12. Well, I played in my mom's foundation here and there when I was younger, but I never got to leave the house. Once I had gotten to junior high school, I had convinced my mom that I really need white, yes white, liner on my top lid. You know, to make my eyes "pop". I had seen her do it plenty of times and she looked so pretty to me. I was determined to get that same look. On top of all of that, boys called me ugly and any little bit would help. At least, I'd hoped. As time went on, I realized that white liner was no longer my friend due to the fact that I "look like I have chalk on my lashes". The jokes got pretty lame after a while. I guess I couldn't blame anyone for not being able to resist teasing me. When you combine candy store lip gloss with white eyeliner you get a recipe for disaster. So, I guess I had it coming. It was an easy fix, though. Once I was in high school, girls only required very littl...

Single, Saved, and well...you know.

"...more baby showers than weddings!"-Kevon Stage *Long sigh* Now, at first glance, this looks like a hot mess. At second glance, I look at it and agree that this topic needs to be discussed more in church. Especially, for those who are just starting out in their walk. For the most part, as singles, we know what we aren't supposed to be doing. And we SHOULDN'T be doing those things, especially if we call ourselves followers of Christ. Sex before marriage is n ot God's way. However, the desire for sex doesn't just vanish into thin air. Even when you don't put yourself in those situations, it seems like most things are sexually charged and right in your face these days. They made a cat food commercial sexual, for crying out loud! Anyway, the young lady may have the right motive and wrong method or vice versa. I'm not sure. Hopefully, she's sending out the right message. (I would have left the word horny out, but that's just me) ...
