UnShaded Revelations

Labels. Labels are the way “we” categorize something or someone. They can be subjective, objective, they can uplift or they can tear down. My reality is that I’ve spent most of my life trying to outrun labels. Trying not to be what people said I was. In elementary school, I was called a goodie two…

Crazy…I started another blog space, but UR is my first baby, so I had to share this post here…I hope this helps you…like it did me.  The last two days I’ve woken up in a bad head space with emotions (literally) all over the place; you wouldn’t know unless I told you. Today, I’ve had…

January 1, 2018 Happy New Year! It’s been almost 10 months since my last entry and as with every entry, so much has transpired.  My divorce was finalized in January 2017, so learning how to manage being the sole/main caregiver to my son, be a working professional, maintain my home, friendships/relationships, and making sure to…

So it’s official. It’s done. I’m no longer married. Divorced.  How do I feel? Idk…in some way I’m almost numb to it…I have days where I push it so far to the back of my mind that I just don’t (attempt to not) think about it; and others it’s at the forefront of my mind…

Never did I think I’d ever be here. A 31 year-old mother and divorcée to be. An instant single mother…raising my 6 month-old son in a broken home. A statistic…I’ve now become the stereotype; after all I did, not to be here…and it didn’t work. I did all I could to avoid becoming the “black…

Guess WHO’S Back!!!…UnShaded Revelations!!!!!WOW! I know it has been such a long time since my last post…April to be exact, but y’all LIFE happens…to be honest, there’s no real excuse, but I had so much going on (as always) and just needed to get a few things off my plate, before I could sit and…

UR readers!Let’s have a HEART to HEART: As most of you know, ministry is NOT easy.  You rarely get off days, it’s hard to take a vacation, you deal with others’ problems, you are expected to exhibit Christian-like behavior (even when others don’t do the same)…oftentimes, ministry plans supersede home plans…you are always busy…even when…

This is my MOST TRANSPARENT post to date and it’s one simple request: Pray for me.  Please don’t pry, ask questions, gossip. Just PRAY. If you don’t know how, please ask someone who does and go to God on my behalf… Love you. Lady CMJ

In ALL things God knows EXACTLY what He’s doing…yesterday, I couldn’t get any thoughts together…I probably started about 3 different posts, but none of them were meshing well…I prayed, asked God to speak, but I couldn’t focus long enough to listen…I blamed it on exhaustion (which I was), but that wasn’t it…It wasn’t until I…
