Last night as I was trying to go to sleep, I had this vision of someone trying to move forward, they were moving but going no where fast. I realized they were not going anywhere because there was something pulling them from behind. Instantly I thought, what’s holding me back? I’ve recognized at times I can hold on to things, whether it’s a grudge or just someone doing something bad to me, I hold on to it. Recently, I experienced someone lying to me and I’ve had thoughts of confronting the person to let them know that knew that they flat out lied, but then I thought, what good would…

Initially, it seemed like a good idea, but on my way to the theater, I wondered how good the idea was as I wasn’t sure if I was mentally prepared.

Friends, How Many of Us Have Them?
I truly believe God can use anything or anyone to get a message through to his people, including movies. I recently went to see the movie Girls Trip, beyond being hysterically funny (I mean I laughed my behind off lol), it had good back story. Friends, how many of us have them? After watching the movie, I was refreshed and felt great on the inside. That laugh was everything to me!! It reminded me of great times with great friends, laughing, joking, and just having fun. I could tell stories, but I won't, lol. That movie reminded me of the importance of friends and spending time with them. I remember…
