I am watching my new baby sleep. So satisfied and full of milk, heavy and relaxed. I am reminded to trust Jesus for my provisions and to relax and drink in the sweetness God has given me.
What a blessing to be a new mom for the third time 🙏🏽🙌🏾💕🤴🏾🫶🏽

How do you receive salvation?
Through repentance, faith, confession and baptism.

Not perfect, but striving to obey. No matter the location, the sin, or the temptations, through Christ we can be cleansed and forgiven. And changed!

Parable of the Talents
RetroStankwww.bible.com/bible/114/luk.19.11-27.nkjv
How many of us have talents that we are hiding? Or that we are to scared to share?
How could you hid your light…from shining?
God said, “There is a lamp stand put it right THERE!!””
Remember, Matthew 5:16 and “Let your 💡 LIGHT so shine before men that they may see your good works and GLORIFY your Father which art in Heaven!”
Let them look at your beautiful talents and know that there is a good God above, share that art, that acting, that singing, that cooking, that creating, that rap, that pottery, that furniture, that instrument so they can KNOW there is still a God above!!
Read this parable of Jesus to see what it looks like when you do it right and when you do it wrong.
With love,
R.S.

“What You’re Saying When You Give Someone the Silent Treatment Social ostracism has been a common punishment for millennia. But freezing someone out harms both the victim and the perpetrator.” By: Daryl Austin of the Atlantic
RetroStankapple.news/AB-j_ff2aR-6XjPFRQgNfmA
As a person who has given people closest to me the silent treatment when I was so mad that I didn’t want to put it into words, I have recently learned that the silence kills as well.
Very thought-provoking article that I must share for the good of us all.
Hope you enjoy!

Seedz of joy grow magnolia flowers yall mistake as my teeth.

Anatomy diagonal to the dirt.

Faster goes the merry-go-round.
Weird and strange.
My eyes wrinkle,
Cheeks become parentheses
With as much royalty as Rameses.

LAUREN OPINIONS
Something special in writing a book,
story or song,
to sustain the thought long enough
to feel and to meddle
with the possibility
soaking in the emotion
b/c mine are so passing, ephermal, and forgettable.
Getting my mind to stay in gear:
a great feat
-seeing as how I desire to be
planning out my career
Right Now.
Need to let myself stop feeling the need
to (get)
caught up.
And let old promise,
commitments, whatever
fly off with new wings
to see new life
as from this day forward.
The need to share ideas like water
in streams flows free.
Sleep is slipping her hands
around my waist and pulling me close to her.
I done spent the better part of the day
on a Scandal marathon with good food and catnaps:
unhaunted by tasks or to-do-lists,
a Saturday to just be.
Be flooded with a differing life pace and be sucked into a visual storybook.
When in his company 3-D is a place that’s calling my name over miles. I
love you.
I want the world so bad, friction is sandpaper on silk.

Poems for my king: Birthday Variety, poetry.
Mister Fur
By: (Me)Lauren “Crayola Mae” Fitzgerald
You look new.
And I’m taken in.
Not wasting a moment of this, gotta have leftovers.
Something for my mind to eat on when you depart from my space.
Tragically in love with you, razor sharp feelings that cannot be dulled by
anything.
Not the ashes that grace the ground where ambition burned our present union.
You whispered to me, babygirl you’re amazing, and I wonder if you truly believe
how much?
And that just brought tears to my eyes, sent a tremble in motion from crown to
foot soles and from physical to soul.
Overlook the past, I plead.
My heart falls from my sleeve and you dust it off and put it back, back where it’s posed to go,
in the left chest cavity.
Brilliance cloaks you as a skin, a pelt of fur of the most unique beast.
Animal and god, and what am I?
The powerful petite. Word woman.

Be the nine to my six.
Be the little to my pony.
Be my better half in matrimony.
Be the propaganda to my politics.
Be the Bond to my Jinx.
Be the pyramid to my Sphinx.
Be the money in my pocketbook.
Be the bra that gets unhooked.
Be the laughter to my joke.
Be the baby blue to my pink.
14 ways to transfix me.
So I can be the princess to your prince.
The ace boon coon to your clique.
The sex that drives a nymph.
The survival of your battleship.
The relief of a drunk piss.
The reason to quit to an addict.
The Rolex to ya wrist.
The screenplay to ya script.
The velvet to yo fingertips.
The midnight to your kiss.
The memory lane to your reminsce.
The treat to your trick.
The concede to your insist.
The Sierra to yo Mist.
The truth to shut down the hypocrites.
The shrimp to yo white cheddar grits.
Much more and all these things,
This is what my king is to me.
