Weekend Unity Posts

Last updated on: October 19, 2013 at 10:39 pm By Osheta Moore

Today I listened to a fantastic sermon, from The Meeting House, a wonderful Anabaptist community in Canada. I love Bruxy Cavey’s humor and his wise insights. The sermon, “Focus on the Family” is part one in a four part series called, “Living Like Jesus Intended”. I loved his point on the Body being safe and diverse. Even though this month, I’m exploring my convictions and distinctions in hopes to identify my tribe and meet like-minded women, we are still one... Read more

Lessons from the Laundry: Day Eighteen of Finding My Tribe

Last updated on: October 18, 2013 at 4:19 pm By Osheta Moore

Hey Everyone! I’ve missed y’all but this week was unusually crazy. My kids were off Monday and Tuesday, I had my oldest home on Wednesday, I wrote yesterday for a friend of mine, and today…ah today…I had laundry. Which, coincidentally, is today’s Five Minute Friday’s word prompt: Laundry. But remember this month, I’m trying to make the prompt work for this series, “Finding my Tribe”. At first, I we worried, but as I was sorting and gathering the laundry I... Read more

I Speak Your Name: A Celebration of Freedom and Faith (Day 15 of Finding My Tribe)

Last updated on: October 16, 2013 at 2:42 pm By Osheta Moore

Today’s post, part two of my Legend’s Ball is a poem loosely based on “We Speak Your Names” my Pearl Cleage. Cleage wrote this piece for Oprah’s Legend’s Ball to celebrate the Legends whose lives influenced the “Young-uns” in the room. When I think about my renewed picture of God, I think about late mornings reading and praying at the City Park Peristyle. After moving to New Orleans, I felt so alone and unwanted. I was surrounded by so many... Read more

Osheta's Legends Ball (Part One): Day Fourteen of Finding My Tribe

Last updated on: October 15, 2013 at 9:48 am By Osheta Moore

In 2006, Oprah Winfrey gathered sixty women to her home for three days of honoring, loving, thanking and blessing. She called this event, her “Legends Ball”. The weekend was made up of Legends— African American women such as Diana Ross, Ruby Dee, and Coretta Scott King—women who modeled grace, courage, wisdom, and passion for the next generations of African-American women. Our representatives as the “young-uns” at this event were talented and intelligent women such as Alicia Keys, Halle Berry, and... Read more

Ordinary Adventures of A Jesus-Girl (FMF): Day Eleven of Finding My Tribe

Last updated on: October 11, 2013 at 5:35 pm By Osheta Moore

It’s Friday y’all! Date night is in less than three hours away…yes! And it’s time for FMF. On Fridays during these thirty days of tribe finding, I’ll try to take Lisa-Jo Bakers Five Minute Friday prompt and work it into this tribe’s distinctions and core convictions. Today’s prompt is: ordinary. Here are the rules: 1: Write for five minutes 2: Don’t over think. Don’t over-edit. Don’t let yourself become overwhelmed. Just be real and rambly and wonderful you. 3: Link... Read more

S'mores Break! Day Ten of Finding My Tribe

Last updated on: October 10, 2013 at 3:30 pm By Osheta Moore

When I sat down to write today’s post, I sensed the Lord say, “ok girl, so…when were you going to carve out sometime for me this week?” and I was like, “oh snap, Lord! You’re right!” So I abandoned writing today and just sat at Starbucks with a teeny pop song playing in my iPod, just grooving to the techno beat and thinking about how much I dig Jesus. When he dropped this cool idea to tell the next part... Read more

The Odd Life of Certainty (Part Two): Day Nine of Finding My Tribe

Last updated on: October 10, 2013 at 12:10 am By Osheta Moore

Odd: strange or unusual : different from what is normal or expected There is no certainty; there is only adventure. Roberto Assagioli My friend Adele describes fundamentalism as holding so tightly to your beliefs that your fingernails leave imprints on the palm of your hand… I think she’s right. I was a fundamentalist not because of the beliefs I held but because of how I held them: with a death grip. It would take God himself to finally... Read more
