Tanzy Alexis Said It!

Proverbs 11:17  A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts himself. Happy JULYYYYY, folks!!!  It's the 7th month of the year! Time is making reservations for no one! Do you hear me? It's moving right along.  As I stated in a previous post, this is the month of the ANSWER. Consider this month to be like the last paragraph of a really interesting essay.  The months to follow will act as the preface of 2020. With the number 7 biblically meaning completion, expect some things to come to a head or to a complete close.  You may have thought that this would be something that would transpire in December.  NO. The conclusion of matters have arrived. And it will come with some very strong reiterations and a powerful end statement.   What does this mean for you?  It all depends on where you stand and what you've been sowing.  If you've been doing your best to follow God's prompts and His leadings, you need not worr...

Colossians 3:12   Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Alright folks! This week we MUST now develop a taste for one of THEE most bitter fruits out of the nine.  I'm not sure if you've ever tasted a bitter melon or bitter gourd before. My God! First of all, it's ugly.  It looks like a dried up, light skinned cucumber. To make matters worse, it's awful! It tastes like poison. I believe it's used in Asian dishes.  I tried it alone just because out of curiosity. !!!ICK!!! But I heard it's most known for its nutrients and health benefits.  My question is, why does it seem like the foods that have the most benefits taste like death? Well, the same can be said for the fourth fruit of the spirit; LONGSUFFERING.   In some versions of the Bible it's called forbearance. In other versions it's simply called patience.  The King James ve...

Isaiah 26:3  You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Hey there my favorite warriors for Jesus! If you've been coming by here on a regular basis this year, I just thought I should let you know that we are officially tethered together and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Haha!  Anyway, mad shout out to my fellas who are fathers naturally, through adoption, or spiritually. This past Sunday was designated to you! You know I was thinking about how Father's Day, is actually the most underrated, low-key disrespected, undervalued holiday of them all. You can see this in the stores as well as the advertisements.  Even stupid bunnies and that fat diaper wearing baby gets more clout than fathers.  I don't think that's right at all!  Fathers are just as important as mothers. They have a valuable innate task to give language to a child's understanding in certain areas that mothers just don...

Habakkuk 3:17-18  Though the fig tree does not bud  and there are no grapes on the vines,  though the olive crop fails  and the fields produce no food,  though there are no sheep in the pen  and no cattle in the stalls,  yet I will rejoice in the Lord,  I will be joyful in God my Savior. Hey gang! Welcome back! Did you all enjoy establishing a new understanding and appreciation for LOVE, God's way after reading last week's post ? I really hope that you're doing your homework and setting personal goals geared towards maintaining this particular fruit. I promise you if you do, you will enjoy where your love walk takes you.  One of the main habits I'm keeping for myself is seeking that kind of love from others that quenches some fear in me. I mentioned the story Sarah Jakes Roberts shared about how God used her now husband to speak to her fears and how this broke down an area of my thinking as it pertains to love.  Because God ha...

1 Corinthians 13:4-8a Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.  🎶 Love; so many people use your name in vain. Love; those who have faith in you sometimes go astray. Love; through all the ups and downs the joy and pain, for better or worse, I still will choose you first.🎶 -Musiq Soulchild- I love, love. The idea of love. The reality of love. Well, the latter part wasn't really true until I turned 30 years old and I came to the conclusion that my definition of love was inaccurate. Having no true definition of love literally blocked me from the reality of love. What if I told you that what you may think is love right now, is not love at all? And the reason why you may n...
