• Faux Peace

    June 15, 2020

    I have a tendency to avoid conflict at all cost.  I believe I have a basic desire to have inner stability and peace of mind. Seriously, my favorite scripture is Philippians 4:7. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 (NASB) Growing up with multiple siblings, there was quite a few arguments. You know like, who was going to control the tv or who was going to sit in the front sit – real life issues.  I’m kidding.  And many times I remember what I was doing in those scenarios when an…

    An Open Lament

    May 30, 2020

    In response to racism, injustice and systemic oppression. I lament our brokenness.  I lament that worth is being defined by a color.  I lament that my anger and grief cannot always be expressed.  I lament that each hashtag create more numbness and less hope.  I lament that after all of this, so many will never change.  I lament that my emotions are met with skewed facts and not empathy.  I lament our brokenness.  I lament that this brokenness causes us to implement demonic ways of comparison, oppression and division. I lament that the world I dream of may only become…

  • the lowQi life

    December 5, 2019

    Hey readers! Welcome to the new and improved the lowQi life: A Lifestyle Blog! QiBee & Tees just got a little makeover… This revamp took a lot of faith and well…guts. When I first started blogging, I always had my heart set on sharing transparent moments of my life in hopes that it would be an encouragement to myself and others. Unfortunately, I found myself extremely inconsistent even though the struggles and lessons of life endured. One of the main reasons I felt unable to write more consistently was finding a topic or starting point. Then it hit me. One…

  • Speak Life

    January 10, 2018

    Growing up, I was a teacher’s pet and goodie two shoes. Sometimes the other kids picked on me and called me names because of it and because I was a preacher’s kid. So to prove myself, I decided that I was not gonna be a goodie good all the time. In the 5th grade, I decided that I was gonna start cursing. (Sorry mom and dad if you’re reading this). Other kids my age were using bad words and I had to prove to them that I could be like them. Honestly, it only lasted for about a semester. It…

  • To Die For

    November 30, 2017

    I love Rom Coms/romance movies like The Notebook or The Holiday or Crazy Stupid Love or Hitch or Never Been Kissed…the list could go on and on. I am very much a hopeless romantic and the cheesiness of it all really makes me happy. My favorites are when the girl who seems to have it all together really likes the guy completely opposite from herself. Maybe he has a hard past or has done something that he thinks is so unforgivable. He tricks himself into thinking that he can hide who everyone thinks he is because of his past and…

  • Be Still

    November 8, 2017

    I am very much a daddy’s girl. I am also a little independent. There are times when I try to do things that I simply cannot do to prove my independency. Eventually I fail and run to my daddy. As a daddy’s girl, I know he can fix anything…even when he can’t lol. In those situations, I know I would have avoided some struggle if I went to my daddy first, but that requires yielding my control and I don’t wanna. But alas, I run to him and he tells me to be still and watch him fix the problem.…

  • Your Story

    November 1, 2017

    Every [wo]man has a story…what’s mine? Meeting new people, especially other believers, is sometimes a challenge for me. Among the first round of questions is usually something like this: “So, what’s your story?” I typically sit there stunned and puzzled on where to even begin. Such a broad question doesn’t always generate a specific answer. Do I tell them about my parents? They have some cool stories. We are seriously trying to get my dad’s story on Netflix one day…if anyone has any connections *wink wink.* But no, they asked about me…hmmm. I grew up thinking that I didn’t have…

  • Slay Like David

    August 2, 2017

    So…I’ve had a bit of writer’s block but I am back. Hola. Growing up, one of my favorites stories from the Bible was David and Goliath. Here’s this teenage shepherd boy coming to bring something to his brothers and lo and behold, he finds his people scared of a Philistine…a giant. Fast forward to the fight, David gathers some stones and a slingshot, defeats the giant and cuts off his head. I mean, I can’t make this up. Seriously, this shouldn’t have happened. Take a look at all the facts here. David was a shepherd boy. He had no armor,…
