Love is…

Sincerely AngieLeave a comment

Love is beautiful. The word love is all encompassing. It’s so broad but so simple. Psychologists have come to define love in a few different categories. A quick Google search can summarize it for you, but to quickly note it in this post, here are the components and types of love. Three components of love are intimacy, passion and commitment. Three Greek types of love are Eros, Philia and Agape. And love can be seen in three types of relationships, romantic, familial and friendship.

God is love and God’s love is the agape kind. The highest form of love, unconditional and selfless.

I do think that love is taught. Whether it’s taught in how it’s shown or learned from what’s not shown. I unfortunately learned from the latter. I knew what I hadn’t received and I knew that different and better was out there. I was able to test it out in my first real relationship at 19 years old.

Oddly enough, I was able to sit down with my first boyfriend recently and we chatted about our past and who and what I was to him back then. It was a blessing to hear what I did at 19 years old after not being taught or shown love. I guess it was just God given, so it was just in me.

I’m glad that over the years I’ve been able to still operate in love despite not receiving it in return. I love love and love will always be the thing that I want to lead with. I pray that the world could/will follow suit because love is truly beautiful. Love makes everything better. When you finds God’s love, self-love should follow and the love for you neighbor can and will come easily.

Just a few things I love!

Memory Lane: Do y’all remember this song?

“The word “love” is a hell of a word to be sayin’. If you don’t know how to use it with caution,
it’s a death-defying game to play. And when you’re thinking of, the one you want to get next to, make sure it’s a mutual feeling…” -Take Your Time -Mo Thugs

I used to sing that song word for word when I was younger. I haven’t heard it in decades but the lyrics always come to mind. So I had to go find it on Youtube. LOL!

Happy Valentine’s day Lovers,

Sincerely, Angie ❤️💕

My Love Letter to: 2025

Sincerely Angie2 Comments

We have about 4 days left before 2026 enters the chat. With the God that I know, anything and a lot can happen in 4 days, but I just have to dote on 2025. I noticed how much we tend to count down and plan for the next holiday, blessing, birthday, big event or the next year, without fully acknowledging the here and now. A silent goal I have been focusing on, is to be content in whatever season and moment I am in.

Society, social media, the world, etc. tells us to be on go mode and grind all day, every day. I did that about 15 years ago. I burned myself out and I’ve learned that it’s not worth it, for me. I did the grinding in my twenties. Now at 41, securing my future while enjoying my present(literally life itself, is a gift) is my priority. Living in the now and enjoying any and everything I do and taking it, for what it is.

In 2025, I learned to fully acknowledge my light, my life and how grateful I am to be me. I’ve always known that I was a creature of habit but it didn’t really hit until while on Facetime calls, my cousin would always compliment my life. I’ve been hearing and seeing the term “romanticize your life” and subconsciously, I’ve been doing that for two decades and never realized it. It’s my life, so it’s normal for me but when other people notice it and point it out, you have no choice but to acknowledge how blessed you are.. I love my nighttime routine. I love that I only work three days a week and anything extra is overtime and optional. I love that some days, I can sleep until 11a and feel great about the much needed rest. I love that some days I have a to-do list with 5-8 goals and other days, I sit in one spot and watch tv shows and movies all day. It’s all about balance.

2025 isn’t even a milestone year for me but its impact will definitely be one to remember. A year for realization, boundaries, spiritual growth, healing, relearning and extending even more grace than ever before. Discipline, letting go and sticking to my word, are things that are also teaching me more and more about my abilities. Creating daily to-do list has been really satisfying as well.

God, thank You for Your divine timing and allowing 2025 to be THE year. You knew I was ready and You knew everything I needed this year, to get me to all of my dreams and desires. 2025 was a quiet but very loud year for me. This year was the year that showed me that it was truly time to make moves. Thank God for answered prayers! Happy holidays and happy new year everyone! Be blessed!

Sincerely,

Angie

God is Guiding

Sincerely Angie2 Comments

I was listening to an IG video and the woman in the video said “God is Godding” but the auto-generated caption read “God is Guiding”. And immediately, I started to draft this post. I have no bullet points or talking points. I’m just writing. Because as soon as I saw it, that familiar feeling hit me. It’s the same feeling I get when I find a title/topic for a podcast episode. It’s placed on my spirit. Thank You God. There You are at work again.

He’s at work because my theme this year is to lead with God. Let God lead and let Him order my steps. When you trust God, he gives you, what I call, “breadcrumbs” to lead you in the right direction. The obedience to follow and listen to Him, comes with spending time with God and strengthening your relationship with Him. You learn His voice and the way that He speaks to YOU. He is a guiding light.

Psalm 119:105 “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

I was very young when I learned the meaning of my name and it was not by coincidence. It’s all a part of His plan. “Angela means heavenly messenger.” So for a long time, I’ve been cautious and careful with what I say and how I represent myself and God. I pray before many situations for Him to bridle my tongue. But don’t get it twisted, I have not been perfect. I have said some things, thought some things and sinned, a lot! While I may not have always looked the part, in the eyes of people, thankfully, God knows my heart.

With that being said, I pray that everything I say, be God led, God fed and God said through me. I don’t know who this post was for, and I hope something I said resonates with someone. Even if it doesn’t right away, I was obedient because God still works on His timing and whomever, will see this whenever they’re supposed to. Letting God guide you means doing things and not knowing the reason. Just be the vehicle and enjoy the ride!

Sincerely,

Angie
