#FromBostonToLA: A Road-Trip with A Purpose

Last updated on: February 6, 2015 at 11:15 am By Osheta Moore

In just one week we’ll be embarking on a cross country road trip to the next chapter in our lives- we’re moving from Boston to Los Angeles! In November, my husband was offered an associate pastor position at an amazing multi-ethnic, urban church in Los Angeles, named New City Church of Los Angeles. Which as some of you may remember was also the name of our church plant here in Boston which we said goodbye to last Spring. God’s ways... Read more

The Zig Zag Pattern Of Shalom: Guest Post at SheLoves

Last updated on: January 26, 2015 at 7:04 am By Osheta Moore

Hello Dear Ones, Today, I’m over the moon about sharing our #FromBostonToLA journey at SheLoves Magazine! As I write this, I am two weeks into a six-week separation from my husband. He recently accepted an associate pastor position in Los Angeles and since our family is based and bred in Boston, we decided a “staggered move”—where he leaves at the beginning of the year to get acclimated to the area and his new job then comes back to get us...

Practicing Truth, Living Shalom in 2015

Last updated on: January 24, 2015 at 10:09 am By Osheta Moore

I heard someone say, “I love the New Year, but I’m ready for the ‘new’ New Year.” As convoluted as that sounded to my ear, deep down inside, I knew exactly what she meant. She loved the excitement of the New Year- the promises made, the daring dreams, the hopeful resolve that comes when we evaluate the past year as we stare down the new one down, wondering, ‘how will you be different? how will you better?’ I tend to...

Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast

Last updated on: January 21, 2015 at 9:39 am By Osheta Moore

This morning, the sun peeked out over the trees across from my kitchen door with eager orange and magenta rays attempting to chase away the wispy grays of night. Seeing the burgeoning hope of a new day, I smiled after a night of fitfully tossing and thinking over our move. We’re still in need of a home and we’re three weeks away from our move. Crunch time. Scary Times. Time to put on my brave. But, can I tell you... Read more

This Morning at the Barre

Last updated on: January 15, 2015 at 12:38 pm By Osheta Moore

Since my husband left for LA last week to set up our lives, I knew that in addition to all the planning, packing, and saying goodbye to friends, I needed to implement a workout schedule. Not to lose weight as much as to pay attention to my needs while I’m running around like a chicken with her head cut trying to move our family #FromBostonToLA. Enter Pure Barre in Boston. Pure Barre is a 55 minute workout that uses a... Read more

When I Can’t Breathe, I Will Listen

Last updated on: December 10, 2014 at 12:33 pm By Osheta Moore

My son came home and told me that on his walk from school in our middle-class neighborhood, a police officer slowed down and tailed him and his two friends. His friends, one black, the other white nervously chuckled and joked that if they got stopped only one of them would end up dead. It wasn’t my biracial son. It wasn’t the white boy. It was the black child, a boy who has sat around my table too many times to... Read more

#GivingTuesday and Get Free Noonday

Last updated on: December 2, 2014 at 10:16 am By Osheta Moore

Today is ‪#‎GivingTuesday‬! Today’s the day we practice generosity to remind us that Christmas is about giving. As you are thinking about giving to a charity or organization, may I suggest you give to Worthy of Love– an amazing organization that throws joy-filled, elaborate birthday parties for homeless children on Skid Row. This holiday season, they’re hoping to raise enough to purchase a tablet for each child. These tables are incredibly fun, a bright spot of hope for these kids... Read more

Permission to Love Bomb and a Family Advent Giveaway

Last updated on: November 20, 2014 at 10:50 am By Osheta Moore

Last weekend, while in Los Angeles, my world was completely rocked. Do you know that moment in your life when you learn about something and you just. can’t stop. thinking about. IT? Like when you meet a cute guy at an urban bible college in New Orleans and one of the first things he tells you is that he thinks you’re beautiful and you just. Can’t. Stop. Thinking. About him. Eventually you’d marry him (during Mardi Gras) and start a... Read more

Enemy Love Lesson for the Tween

Last updated on: November 18, 2014 at 8:33 am By Osheta Moore

Tyson: Mom! Instead if you driving me to school, can I take the bus today? Me: Isn’t it early? Won’t you be waiting at the bus stop for a little bit? Tyson: yeah, but Ms. P’s always there to receive early kids, I guess I’ll wait by her. *rolls eyes, sighs* She really gets on my nerves with all her rules! She’s always saying something to me! Me: so here’s the deal, I’d prefer to drive you, but since you... Read more
