In lieu of Monday’s blog, I thought it would be a great idea to suggest a budgeting video! You can watch Peggy Buck’s “How to Budget” video either on Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts’ Woman Evolve TV channel or you can visit YouTube, where it is titled, “W.E. TV Throwback: Budgeting Class X Peggy Buck.”

This week, I suggest that you listen to the Fearfully and Wonderfully Made podcast’s episode, “It’s About the Journey, Not the Destination.” In this episode, Minister Mekia and I discuss how life is a journey and the four stages that everyone goes through on their journey: discovery, discipline, detriment and destination. Check out this podcast episode and be encouraged that you are not alone on your sanctification journey.

Being afraid to feel and inability to confront my emotions was a constant theme in my life. I looked at crying and being emotional as a weakness. Through my spiritual journey, I am learning that there is freedom in acknowledging and expressing your emotions. Debra Fileta's "Afraid to Feel" episode talks about the beauty in expressing your feelings.
