POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This time last year there were several trusted voices in my life that told me that I needed to lean into writing and sharing my story, confirming what I was already sensing my next would look like. After almost a full year of starting, stopping and picking it back up, taking a few naps, and starting over again-I am finally releasing my BLOG. (How millennial of me I know...). It’s been the most challenging and vulnerable thing I’ve ever done. There are things I genuinely felt embarrassed to share, but I knew they were necessary to tell. I hope that as I gradually pull back the mask I once wore, it will encourage others to do the same so that we can all heal little by little.

My first post releases tomorrow morning (sweet baby Jesus🫣)

Through the valleys and on the mountain tops that life presents… With each crashing wave of the sea… may we always remember that we are up under an open heaven 🏞⛰🌊🌌

There is no limitation to what God can do & what we can do together. It is our honor & privilege to share this prayer with you. 🙏🏼🙏🏾

We will never cease to remain grateful for this day, the prayers & most importantly one another… all the days of our lives 📆

THIS IS A MIC DROP 🗣️🎤

The hard truth is that not everyone will understand what it takes for you to truly go after God’s purpose for your life. You will have to give out hard “no’s” along the way in order to please God, not people 💚💯

If you’ve been there drop an “AMEN” down below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

we believe in therapy, deliverance, medicine, prayer, physical exercise, a healthy diet (with the occasional joy of sweets 🍫 🤭)

You’ve gotta know what to do when you’re doing what you do… Some days it’s gonna require a moment for you to rest and recalibrate… We make sure to have one intentional Sabbath day a week and after travel and busy weeks, we recognize that there’s another layer of restoration that is needed.

Join us in the middle for the next seven days on this yap challenge and every single Monday for our podcast that drops at 7 AM every single Monday!! Welcome to the Middle ‼️👩🏾‍🤝‍👨🏼💚🎙️ taken in Dallas, Texas by @itsreallyren

There are a few things more beautiful than marriage… Couldn’t have been a better way for us to spend our day and the days leading up celebrating this incredible couple. There will be a more formal post at some point. I’m only sure… But how fitting is it that today is marriage in the middle!

We are praying for this incredible couple my sister and new brother-in-love Brittany & Buck Leinen 🙏🏼❤️‍🔥 — every good and perfect gift that God has for you, the fullness of every promise made manifest, and the favor and grace to equip you for all the days ahead until eternity. You have our prayers and our love. taken in Omaha, Nebraska by @itsreallyren

If we wanna talk about process… One art form that is the definition of process would be the art form of filmmaking… Many different pieces have to come together in order to tell the story in an effective and memorable way!

One thing about us is that we have always and will always love arts cinema… That’s why it was an absolute pleasure to play a small part in bringing this story to life with @storiesbyecho & our friends @shawndfilms @grace_layo_ @kanyinsolaaa - check out “DREAM DATE” 4/6 episodes out now!!! & support emerging filmmakers in the DFW who are AFTER IT… The time is now artists 🎯👑🎥🎬

join us in the middle tomorrow for day 20! 10 days left 🔥🎙️ taken in Dallas, Texas by @itsreallyren

There was a moment recently where I felt like I had become a shell of myself. I didn’t really recognize myself anymore. I was in a moment where who I once was felt extremely distant, and I was completely blind to the “new” that God was creating in me…

That’s what being in the middle of transition can feel like, and it really does make you feel like that mush that was once a caterpillar inside of the cocoon. By God‘s unrelenting grace and the power of deciding to partner with process, my circumstances didn’t change initially, but my lens 🧐 that I was seeing life through changed. And that made all the difference. 

It showed me that this transition was not to subtract from who I once was, but to add to who I thought I was. 

I hope whoever is reading this or watching this knows that just because things don’t look the same as they once were, and may temporarily feel worse-it doesn’t mean that your future is worse-it just means that you are becoming something that you never expected. Give it time. Commit to the painful process. Lean into the unknown. If you were divinely lead into this transition, I promise you’re losing in order to win again.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 OUR NEW PODCAST “THE MIDDLE W/ @theheadlees “ IS LIVE NOW!!! 👩🏾‍🤝‍👨🏼❤️‍🔥🎙️

about three months ago, we were going through a series of events in our lives that required us to embrace the fact that being in process was inevitable, and God started to show us how we often feel like the process can be skipped, but it couldn’t be further from the truth… We have a very clear mission to normalize the process and the journey and lean into allowing God to work out all of the pieces that make up his promises as we journey… We want to invite you to join us in The Middle!

We are on Apple, Spotify & YouTube comment below and we will send you the link 🔗 taken in Dallas, Texas by @itsreallyren
