OUR WORDS HAVE POWER

After reading in James, I had to come clean with myself about my words, tone, and response to myself and others.


James 3:5-6 (MSG) “It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do that. By our speech we can ruin the world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a reputation, send the whole world up in smoke and go up in smoke with it, smoke right from the pit of hell.”


This hit home for me. Let me start by saying, my name is Erika Greene, and there are times that I struggle with the “untamed tongue” syndrome. I have struggled with keeping quiet most of my life. I can remember a time in high school w...

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

I've shared that I was a victim of childhood abuse in my previous blogs. I can guarantee you will read or hear about it in the future as well. Why? Because it's something that caused deep wounds for me. I've had to cry, dig deep, and uncover all the ugly, so I could find the treasures buried underneath the pain.

I entered the doors with a heavy wounded heart and after several sessions, I left feeling as if a load was lifted. No, it didn't happen overnight. There are times I still struggle with self-worth. The difference is now when it surfaces, I stop the downward spiral of unworthiness and remind myself of the truth. The truth is that I am worthy to be loved, and I do not have ...

WHAT LETTER WOULD YOU WRITE TO YOURSELF?

If I had to write a letter to myself before my sister passed away knowing what I know now, this is what it would say:

Hey there,


Why are you waiting? Live! Get started now! Your sister sees so much in you. She sees the woman that she helped create. She doesn't think she's your mother— she knows that she's your older sister. But you know how older sisters are: they expect everything from you that they didn't expect from themselves. They want you to travel more, learn more and do more.

Sometimes, you're going to wonder if she's ever pleased with what you've accomplished. But no matter how unimpressed she seems, she's proud deep down. It's just that she knows your real potential, and she's...
