Silent Rides- Blocked Blessings
Hey y’all! I know it’s been a minute since I posted anything and I apologize for that, but most importantly I apologize to myself for not showing up. Ok now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into it. A few months ago, I started occasionally driving in silence. It was weird and uncomfortable because I always like some type of noise going on. Don’t ask me why, I just do. But the first time, this word just hit my spirit: “Don’t block other people’s blessings because of your disobedience.” That about took me out!

The Social Media Trap
Social media can be a great resource but it can also cause a lot of trouble. When Facebook first came out I believe it was a great way to connect with friends and family. You had Facebook for college students and then for high school students. You even had to have an invitation to join the high school version. Now it’s free for all along with Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and any other social media platform that is out there. I feel like now social media isn’t just about connecting but instead it’s being used as a platform to show the world your success. If you’re not careful you can easily…
