Sometimes it’s hard to be the bigger person. Sometimes you wonder what would happen if you really gave someone a so called “piece of your mind”. Sometimes it’s hard to take the high road. Sometimes you want to just do some good old table shaking!
Then you remember who you are and who’s you are! You remember the patience that God has extended you. You remember the unmerited grace and mercy you’ve been given. You remember no weapon formed against you can prosper. And you persevere and you are better for it!

How cute! These colors look amazing against your skin tone!
This is right on time!! The Holy Spirit has been holding my tongue lately! Deep down, I know that there is a greater purpose and a lesson for myself and for others. Trying to be salt in this world.

Love the color of the blouse, as well as your shoes. You look great. And the message you shared is so true. Great post, Leslie.

I have often held back words in my life and remebered that you couldn;’t take them back. However as time has gone on I’ve learned to talk for myself and not be stepped on. I feel better now.
I needed this today! Sometimes…well alot of the time lately, I have been forgetting the patience that God extended to me. Good post today!
Thanks Girl! I know God shoulda whooped me but He didn’t! Lol
Great message! It’s so true!! And I must say that you are looking all kinds of FAB in these pics!
All kinds? Lol ill take it! Thanks!
Thanks for this… I need to read this everyday at work… be blessed!!
me too! LOL
And sometimes you have to tell them,” Don’t shake if you ain’t to eat shook!” In my K.Michelle voice… Hahaha
LOL!!! OMG
OMG! I found you on twitter and then clicked on your website link. WOW….. I have been looking for a site just like yours. Haven’t had a chance to go through all of your blog but I definitely like what I see. Will be back!!
Oh Yay! Thanks for FINDING me and commenting!
Good reminder of something that I’m working on. Have to remember to extend the same grace that God gives to me each and everyday. And yes, sometimes that is extremely hard!
ain’t it the truth!
Great post. Sometimes you want to shake the table but you KNOW the next step can lead to shaking somebody! Well not physically but we want our haters, fans and critics to all stay on an even playing field where we remain the victory. Victory = being politically correct while firm in our beliefs. Kill them with kindness and remain focused who who you are. Well stated.
Well said. I love the that outfit.
Love this post! So true.. taking the high road is always the best option.
Amen….
Leslie you are such a doll and you are so right class is knowing what to say and when to say it. I know sometimes it’s hard to bite your tongue, but it does make you the bigger person. I’m loving the look and you look great and definitely don’t look like you recently had a baby. You bounced back very quickly.
Not only is this look effortless and gorg on you, but your words are lovely and SO on point. Thanks for the reminder that although it’s (really) hard to hold back sometimes, there are definitely merits to doing so. Note to self: STOP shaking tables, LOL.
