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.

Is it really real?

  What is your reality? Is it the things you see in front of you? Is it what is within arm's reach? Do you have the ability to change it? Perhaps, your reality is how you see the world around you. How do you see things? Some say, "You either see the glass half empty or half full." You can say that the "half empty" people are the "it is what it is/play with the cards that are dealt" people. And you can say that the "half full" people are the "hope for tomorrow/it'll be better soon" people. Both people have their own reality. How you see life can determine the way you live it. Think about it. That's like spending most of your time watching television and seeing other people do the things that you want to do. It will either inspire you to do them or make you feel like you'll never have the chance. Your thinking/reality will determine which actions you decide take. A big problem that a lot of us have is being way too con...

Become The Wife That He Prays To Find

Lately, it's been popular among some single women to pray for a Russell Wilson or ask Ciara what she prayed to get him. If you go to Instagram and type in #Ciara, you'll likely find of picture of her and her new husband Russell Wilson. And yes, he will likely be holding one of their children. (One of which she had with her ex Future, for those who don't know the backstory.) We all cheered for her as she went from being publicly ridiculed after a nasty breakup from a seemingly toxic rapper to then being treated like ole girl at the end of Coming To America by a Jesus following NFL star. (Geesh) We all wanted some of that answered prayer! I know I did! But I've grown enough to know to be praying and asking God to make me the woman that attracts and keeps a good man like that. (Of course, we don't know him personally, but I hope you know their story enough to know why I'm referencing him.) Even in a season of marriage, that time shouldn't be spent looki...

1 4 3

Friday's Inspiration Post on Saturday: "1 4 3" I was watching a movie the other night and there was a scene where a woman told someone to page her if they need her. The page was "1 4 3". From then, she assumed that he would know what it means and that she didn't necessarily have to verbalize it to him. Some of you may recognize those numbers as a very special code that means "I (1) love (4) you (3)." It's a great way to tell a person you love them without all of the mushy stuff. Translation: a cop out. Lol. Now I heard through the grapevine (in this case, the grapevine is Google.) that "1 4 3" originated in Massachusetts in 1894. The intent was to give a new system for lighthouse characteristics, giving each one a unique numerical flash. Someone decided to make 143 stand for "I Love You." and the rest is history, literally. For that reason, it's a beautiful gesture. A lighthouse signal i...
