“1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
There’s no need for us to get caught up in the hoopla of the world system. Sabbath is restorative…let’s practice for proficiency.🙌🏽 May rest and restoration be yours today, my friend!🕊 #Selah

“8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.“

“37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
(Matthew 22:37-39)
“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.”
My shadow while taking a pic of Mama – pretty cool, eh?
Q: Do you know the only thing funnier than me being a TechnoDino🦖 (my teenagers have iPhones, but I don’t)?
A: It’s me providing tech support for my parents when I visited them – and actually fixing their issues!🤣 LOL
My parents and I are Android users. Their new cell phones are nicer than mine – not jealous, I just know that (at least) 70% of the features will never be touched.💯 Seriously, the only reason Mama’s barely used flip phone got replaced was because it was misplaced…go figure (bless her heart)! This is the lady who referred to sending me an email (a decade ago) by saying, “I’m gonna type to you today if I get time, Kayren!”😳 Anyhoo…
Not only did I teach my Mama (#CutieAt74) to send her first text, but I also showed her how to download a photo to her Gallery (AND add it to a Contact – new or existing) and set an alarm for important reminders (like upcoming appointments). We set up a Gmail account so she can subscribe to my YouTube channel, and she took her first cell phone photo!🥳
She even did a video call with me – that was especially funny! She’s still getting used to swiping and touching the screen, but with a bit more use, I have full confidence that she’ll reach proficiency in no time.🤔😏😉
This is a lady who has a lifetime legacy of teaching – a former middle school (translation: combat zone) Teacher of the Year…my Mama is a real life, ol’ school, bona fide educator. She just has to overcome some tech phobias (like many of us at one point or another). But she finally faced some of her techno-apprehensions, and I’m really proud of her for it.💓
Sure, it took a bit of extra patience for this Life Transition Coach to hand-hold my Mama while demonstrating some new technology. However, in comparison to the innumerable times in my 4.5 decades that she’s extended an abundance of grace and patience to me, I’ve gotta say it was more than #WorthItAll. 😊🌻🤗
“Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.”
Crunch, crunch, crunch – that’s the sound of the leaves I stepped on while walking without music from my playlist today.🎵 It was absolutely delightful!
What seemingly small sounds are speaking to you today? Pay attention…they may hold an unexpected hidden treasure! Blessings, Kayren 😊
P.S. Sharing photos from my weekend walk with my mom – I didn’t realize all the beauty (and duck activity! LOL🦆) of the neighborhood creek when I lived there…funny how time can change your perspective, eh?😏🎁
“Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.”
Consider the footprints we leave for others to follow. “God’s standard determines what is RIGHT,” declares Shaundrelle Green, CEO of She, Inc. (Sisters Healing & Evolving).
Shaundrelle also shares the benefits of intergenerational support and her experience working with her adult daughter in a small business. #ThisMomLife #TheConvoLab #SistahSupport

“3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.”
…all week long – hands down!!! LOL🤣 Look at this absolutely glorious apple crisp, smell the cinnamon wafting through the air, taste that brown sugar…yes, Fall is officially HERE!🍁🍂
Granted, I’ll admit this is a deconstruction of my sugar-free oatmeal breakfast earlier this week, but I figured that this Thursday night deserved a treat like apple crisp, so I went for it! Sooo glad I did…dessert perfection!😋 #NoRegrets #UNapologetic #JudgmentFreeZone #BakedInJoy #AppleEqualsFruit 🍎
Hubby & I polished off 1/3 of this while still hot outta the oven😋…2 years till empty nest…but who’s counting?😯🤔😏 Ha ha ha!
Happy Fri-YAY, y’all!!!😊🥳
“Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings.”
…to walk worthy AND pray without ceasing cuz my “baby” is now driving…#JesusPleaseTakeTheWheel!
I didn’t realize I’d get tested on yesterday’s “season created by prayer” reminder so soon…my daughter drove me home from church for the first time since she got her learner’s permit last week. I didn’t have white knuckles the entire time, but I wasn’t exactly excited about the prospect of her driving me on the highway, either. I worked hard to cast down imaginations of “Toonces the Driving Cat” SNL skits. Parents of teenage drivers, holla if ya hear me!
Nevertheless, we train our children for the purpose of growth and maturity. We don’t want them to stay in the same stage of development without forward progress, so why are we surprised when these types of “milestone moments” occur? She has to log 60 hours of practice with a licensed driver over the next few months before receiving her license to drive solo. (Why my wonderful hubby volunteered me to accompany her first reminded me of how he was conspicuously busy every time there was a loose tooth to be pulled…IJS, but I’m gonna let that go – again!). So this was the first of MANY opportunities for her to practice smoothing out her lane changes and not riding the white line. Truth be told, she did a very good job. And I think I did, too.
The experience of being the passenger of a fresh student driver took me to another level of trust – in the Lord, in my child, and in what I’ve taught her. I certainly hope she emulates more of the POSITIVE driving habits she’s seen me display. Let us receive this important reminder to walk worthy because we are leaving footprints that others will follow. And let’s make sure we present (with prayerfulness!) a consistent, godly example worth following.
“9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;”
