3 reasons God makes us wait
During your waiting season, God does 3 things. He prunes, prepares then promotes.
Someone may ask, why does it hurt? Well, pruning is removing anything dead, damaged, or can compete with your growth. Preparation includes stretching ensuring you have room for said growth. Both come with a little pain because here’s the hard truth. Some of you have stuff in your background that’s damaged, dead,…

Featured Post: Almost Destroyed by Lakisha Johnson
About Almost Destroyed:
Ava Gentry met Andre, thirteen years ago, when he was the officer who responded the night she was attacked. Years later, he's still treating her like that scared and broken girl with no self-esteem in need of saving. Every chance he gets, he tries to destroy her with his words and actions leaving her feeling unworthy of love and respect.
The sad reality was it wasn't the first time she's felt this way. From being abused by her grandfather to even worse foster homes; suffering has almost destroyed her identity and ability to love herself.
But she's had enough.
Finally standing up for herself, Andre throws her out, destroying her belongings while almost destroying her. On her own and starting over, she realizes the first thing she needs, besides a place to stay and a job is a relationship with God. Yet, things prove harder than she ever imagined, especially when trouble won't let go, and neither will Andre.
In Almost Destroyed, follow Ava's journey from heartache and brokenness to restoration and finding the strength to love herself again.

{#NewRelease} Infidelity by Lakisha Johnson @_kishajohnson #christiansuspense
Good evening! Best-selling author, Lakisha Johnson, surprised us with a brand new release Friday morning. Johnson usually writes in the Christian Fiction genre, however, Infidelity is more of a Christian Suspense/Mystery novel.
It really doesn’t matter when it comes to Johnson’s work, because everything she drops is definitely a must-read. Her fan-base proves this every single time. As a matter…

#HeightSpotlight
So yeah…this #HeightSpotlight will be a first for me because I actually know this young lady in real life. I can attest to just how dope she is - aaand probably will do so before this post is over, so bare with me.
Standing at a fly 5’11.5”, her abbreviated résumé includes:
a mother of FIVE boys (Jesus, be a fence)
CEO of LaKisha M. Johnson Ministries
CEO & Founder of Sickle Cell Support Services
the host of “Coffee and Conversations” talk show
creator of “Pillow Talk by LaKisha M. Johnson” & “Coffee and Conversations”
HBCU instructor
Life survivor
She is a proud Christian, evangelist, author, entrepreneur, blogger, community advocate, a passionate reader, overcomer, motivational speaker, and a #DopeTallGirl! #TallTribe, I introduce to you LaKisha M. Aldridge Johnson!
[cue Michael Jackson concert applause (LOL)]
Book Cover Judgement
LaKisha and I met almost, if not, 10 years ago at a place we worked together. As I got to know her, I found that she was SO down-to-earth…OM&G?! I guess in my head she would be fake-friendly to me like most people were at that job, but she wasn’t at all. Our conversations were few, but always welcoming.
I am still honored to be a recipient of her insight, and for the conversations of a more personal topics that we shared at my desk (that she may have absolutely no remembrance of – HA). Even if she was sharing those same things with everybody else, all I knew was that she didn’t know me from a can of paint, and yet was sharing with me. That was pretty cool.
The first thing that I noticed was not just that she was tall (AND that she was wearing heels and her business slacks actually fell below her ankles), but that she’s such a pretty and strong young, Black woman. She was helping raise a house full of young Black boys, she was a degree holder, had decent job title, was about to become a college professor; was an entreprenuer, and the wife of this #CoolTallGuy name Germaine. She possessed this ability to stand up for herself that I greatly admired but hadn’t yet cultivated for my Self. It seemed like she was so secure in who she was, height and all…and that was just bomb to me! She was #WomanGoals, if you will.
Over time and from a far, I’ve witnessed the tremendous strength LaKisha possesses and the growth she’s attained since I first met her. She has a beautiful testimony! Her ability to face all that life brought to her, and still – with the help of her Higher power – manages to revive her purpose and existence is so dope to me. The girl is bomb. #frfr
#ThatPart
This quote?! My favorite quote to date! It’s a piece of a bigger point that LaKisha was making that, shamefully, I don’t remember; but this is unequivocally locked in my memory forever. Let’s just say it was a right-on-time affirmation.
From relationships and situation-ships; to friendships, family-ships, and yourself-ships; career-ships and education-ships; to credit score-ships, economic-ships, to life-ships...I got options! Not in a petty way or to say that I’ve figured any of these things out; but to realize I can figure out how I want to do my life...for me...with the options I do and don’t have...and create? You talkin’ ‘bout liberation?! Simple but it works.
There is at least one woman that unknowingly inspires every facet of my life. These 10 little words solidified LaKisha in that small host of women. For instance..
I love how #IyanlaVanZant can help you see yourself (or break you down) and nurture you into a standing-in-YOUR-truth-on-your-own-two-feet position simultaneously – I want that!
I love how #DorothyDonahue and #QueenStewart loved me, their granddaughter, despite their own inner anguishes because they saw the bigger picture – I want that!
I love how #EllenDeGeneres’ energy alone blesses people, not to mention the tangible ways in which she blesses people – I want that!
I love #DiannCromartie’s ability to stand – while never halting her love for me, her child – when her world said she should lay and stay down, face down – I want that!
I love #Oprah Winfrey’s womanhood, entrepreneurial mind, and wisdom – I want that!
I love how LaKisha M. Aldridge Johnson stands for the things she’s passionate about. She uses her testimonies to challenge inner fears, nudge boldness in muteness – even when it’s from within, and helps you see that you have options simply because of the uniqueness that is you. I applaud her love to Love and cultivate the triumphs of thousands of people – I want that!
She is definitely a #DopeTallGirl…#LetsArgue ;-)
LaKisha’s Height Journey
She shared a brief but familiar look into her #TallGirl experiences on FB the other day, and I just had to share it, because...well...I can relate! Her post said:
“I remember there USED to be a time I couldn’t embrace my size, 5”11 1/2 and size 11 shoe....it started back in elementary school, I was most likely taller than everyone else, including the boys. Kids would harass me and as I got older I used to get tired of people asking me how tall I was, or what was my shoe size? Jokes about my height...questions like, “Why do you wear high heels and you are so tall?”....Just random questions, thoughts or comments about things I had no control over.... as I grew in confidence and realized how uniquely and wonderfully made I was, I began to own it all....TOD (Thought of the Day) OWN IT!! You are fearfully and wonderfully made! Psalms 139:14” – FB: justbeinglmj // photo cred: Whitney B. Litzsey
.....and by the way, she doesn’t play basketball!
LaKisha’s encouragement goes beyond physical aesthetics, makeup, and fashion. It hits the root of who you are, and will become, by introducing/reacquainting you with your Higher power. I appreciate that she understands that if you’re not enriched from within first, you’re just painting over mildew - that you have to be cool with who you are even if when that’s all you are...#LoveYourself at every level.

Get Up!
Twas the day before Christmas, and all you can find is confusion and misunderstanding in the depths of your mind.
Sickness stormed in, death angel claimed some loved ones, bills piling up, depression won’t leave you alone, laid off, your marriage is troubled and your child is in the hospital or jail … what’s merry about this Christmas, right?
Here’s what I’ve grown to understand, things will…

Will you go?
When the Israelites were finally released by Pharaoh, God could have taken them the shortest route to the Promised Land.
He didn’t though. Want to know why?
Because they would go through Philistine territory, their enemy, and God knew if they were faced with a battle that early on, they’d probably change their minds and return to Egypt. A place of bondage and hard labor.
Yes, God could have…

Don’t miss the preparation …
Here it is, another Monday. The last one in November, 34 days before this year ends, and somebody is more lost by the minute. Maybe it’s because you’ve taken more losses than wins, this year. Maybe it’s because you’ve been sick, a lot, this year. Maybe it’s depression, a dark season that seems to have no end, or you’re simply tired of everything and everybody.
Tired of having to scrape together…

Holiday Grief
Grief will make you curse and hate the holidays. Grief will have you contemplating staying in bed. Grief will make you feel guilty about enjoying the holidays, you love.
Grief – a deep feeling of sorrow.
Grief is heavy enough on its own without you adding anything to it.
Instead, think about your loved ones who are no longer here. How did they spend the holidays? Truly think about it. How…

Conform vs Transform
I shared this to my #DearSis Vlog, but I felt the need to share part of it here.
Romans 12:2 tells us, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Here’s the thing. We are in the world, which means we already look like the world. Yet, it doesn’t mean we have to talk, act,…

Will you wait?
This subject matter has been heavy on me lately. I don’t know who it’s for, maybe it’s for me. But allow me to share something I penned last year. This is for somebody who’s feeling as though you’ve done something wrong or you’re being punished. This is for somebody who is feeling like God isn’t listening.
This is for somebody who is cursing the place you’re currently residing, spiritually.…

God is doing a new thing
I’m 2019, God gave me a vision.
I sat on it.I wasn’t ready for it.I talked myself out of it.I didn’t believe what I heard God say.
Who am I to find myself worthy of this?
Oh, but now. Now, I’m standing tall in my faith, believing God for what He’s spoken. Therefore, with God’s authority and anointing, the prayers, and release of my pastor, Larry Rucker, the support of my husband Willie…

Pray then go to sleep
Tonight, I’m praying for …
The mother whose tears won’t stop because you feel as though you’re letting your kids and yourself down. The father whose blood pressure is high because he’s worried about taking care of his family. The daughter who’s being molested and feeling as though she has no one to tell. The son who’s failing college because he’s hiding the mental illness that keeps him up most…
