7 Quick Takes Friday (Vol 7)

Last updated on: September 6, 2013 at 12:06 am By Leticia Adams

1. Wow. Only 8 Quick Takes in the history of my blog? That’s gotta be wrong. I am going to try and blog more frequently from now on. I say that a lot, I know, BUT I have gotten a lot of traffic lately and so it’s a must now. Please be patient with me. I have a lot of stuff in my head, but have a problem writing it down. And by problem I mean that I spend way... Read more

Open Letter to Lil Wayne

Last updated on: September 2, 2013 at 1:23 pm By Leticia Adams

Dear Lil Wayne, My name is Leticia and I’ve been listening to your music since your very first mix tape. I’ve loved the color red because of your love of red since forever and a day. Everything that I own is red. I even have a red tattoo. Red is the color of gangstas. I have bought almost every album you have ever made. I’ve jammed to your music with my windows down and the wind just blowing through my... Read more

The Catholic Writers Retreat

Last updated on: August 29, 2013 at 6:00 am By Leticia Adams

As I mentioned a bit yesterday, I am trying to write my conversion story. I have been told that I should write a book many times and after a conversation with Jennifer Fulwiler I decided to just do it. The issue is, I don’t really know how to write. A blog is totally different from a book. Like anything else writing takes hard work. So there is this retreat that I want to go to in Michigan, but I have... Read more

There but For the Grace of God

Last updated on: August 28, 2013 at 11:00 am By Leticia Adams

When I got divorced from my first husband at 28 I went a bit crazy. More like wild and crazy. “Free” as the world says. I did what I wanted, how I wanted, with whoever I wanted, however many times I wanted and I said “Only God can judge me” to myself everyday when I woke up. I had already been promiscuous as a teen, but this time, I was in control and I had a new friend: Grey Goose.... Read more

Sometimes I leave God behind to Follow Myself

Last updated on: July 24, 2013 at 10:49 am By Leticia Adams

I haven’t been blogging because there have been a million things going on around here. For one thing there was a huge pro-life bill getting passed in Texas. A few of ya’ll may have heard about it. I spent a lot of time in the last few weeks at the Capitol, at home watching testimony and debates and talking to a lot of people who supported and protested the bill. It was a lot to take in. I was a... Read more

7 Quick Takes Friday (Vol 6)

Last updated on: May 31, 2013 at 7:00 am By Leticia Adams

1. You know it’s been a long day when you are trying to tune out the sound of your two youngest kids fighting with music and wine. Not only that, but I just realized what the next 3 months of my life are going to be like. I might just hand them a tent and some protein bars and have them camp out at the school until August. Don’t judge me. 2. I am so tired. I have no idea... Read more

Our World Needs Intentional Disciples of Christ

Last updated on: May 27, 2013 at 5:00 am By Leticia Adams

It has been a crazy few weeks. I am not really sure what is going on, but I have felt under severe spiritual attack and it’s not very much fun. I always wonder about spiritual attack. Like, at what point am I just over reacting and at what point am I under reacting. Actually that is the story of my life. I am always doing either one or the other. I’m a radical, I have a hard time with balance.... Read more

Dying To Self Hurts

Last updated on: May 18, 2013 at 1:57 pm By Leticia Adams

When I landed in my first RCIA class I was a hot mess. And I mean a.hot.mess. I had open gaping wounds from being abused as a child, having been in abusive relationship after abusive relationship, and a very hard heart. I never doubted that God existed or that He loved me, but I had decided that the God that was in the Bible was no longer my God. I no longer loved or accepted Him the way He really... Read more

All Anyone Wants is to Be Validated

Last updated on: March 28, 2013 at 11:36 pm By Leticia Adams

I’m going to say something very honestly because I feel that someone needs to say it. I am Catholic, and faithful to all the teachings of the Catholic Church. I understand the Sacrament of Marriage and I have come to understand why two people of the same-sex can not be in one. THAT BEING SAID: Christians, you have to understand that most gay people have been bullied at some point in their life by someone calling themselves a Christian and... Read more

And the Theme for Lent 2013 is……

Last updated on: March 1, 2013 at 9:32 am By Leticia Adams

This Lent has been crazy. It started off crazy and it has continued on that same path of craziness. But unlike most years, this Lent is easy. I mean, not EASY, but not full of nightmares and meltdowns like every other year during Lent since I was confirmed. I’m learning some pretty valuable lessons. Like giving up cussing AND drinking in the same year, is not for wimps! Speaking of Lenten Lessons (ha! That sounds like a good name for... Read more
