Family, this weekend I got to stand alongside 🤵🏿one of closest friends and brothers, Hakeem (Big Hak!), as he married the love of his life, Francilia. . . I was one of the resident barbers on campus @harvard (I love and respect the craft aaaaand books “ain’t” free 🤷🏿‍♂️) and he was one of the first two cuts, along with Brandon (@bgayle2) . . Who would have considered that 16 years later, I would be one of his groomsmen, holding back the #grownmaneyemoisture as he cried and his heart and eyes spoke, “At last,” as his bride to be, walked up the aisle towards him. It has truly been a journey and I thank God I’ve been along the journey with my brother! 🙏🏿 . . #3strands #love #wedding #family #brotherhood
Thank you Father, for my Father. All love and respect to the man who truly was and is, the man! 🙏🏿#HappyFathersDay
It’s getting printed and framed, family. 🙏🏿Grateful. . . #UncleLawrence #AboutLastNight #GrownManEyeMoisture #TheyTackledMeDown #Moments
🎓 “We are Family, I got 2/3rds of my sisters and me.” 🎶 My nephews are headed to kindergarten, can you believe this?! . . Thank you God 🙏🏿 for how you’ve protected and provided for #TheGenerals through my amazing sister @anowaadjah, our family and the village you’ve placed around them. Grateful. 🙏🏿 More photos to come 🙌🏿 . . #milestones #transitions #family #UncleLawrence #grace #Love
Iron Sharpens Iron: First, let’s address the light shining down upon us ☀️ 🙌🏿! . . Still thanking the King for getting to chop it up with my brother Jason @jasonmayden as he shared his 🔥🔥🔥 at @Spotify this week. The mutual love, encouragement and respect is nearing a decade, so truly thankful for days like Monday 👊🏿 I don’t take them for granted 🙏🏿 #TBT Also got to visit my lil ace, lil sister, @ememadjah, so all smiles here fam. . . #ironsharpensiron #brotherhood #respect #encouragement #throwbackthursday
Family, I have to wish a #HappyBirthday to my brother Jarell (@rellsz16) who also is moving from Jersey City to Chicago in less than a week. I say that to say, this is a bittersweet post. Life! . . He’s one of the most solid, reliable and God fearing brothers I’ve been fortunate to know over the years. He’s been a consistent and gracious presence in my life for some time. Though, I could call him out for letting me die on my own in a few early morning @tonehouse sessions with my sister, his superwoman wife, Christin (@christinlscott) but I’m going to let that slide for this post. . . Chicago Family, embrace this Brother and his family as they are near and dear to me. Elijah, young nephew and I left on a great note too, so know I can’t wait too long to see y’all again. . . Today, I celebrate your life my brother, God Bless you man! . . #HappyBirthday #Brothers #Brotherhood #Family #Love #Life #NewBeginnings #ChiTown #Chi #WelcomeThem
Family, friends can offer you gifts for a lifetime. This is one of them, that my friends Brandon and Dav offered me the gift of formally dedicating their son, Emerson, to the Lord a few weeks ago. It was as much a dedication for them as it was for their son and it was an immense privilege. Another gift friends can offer you is one that is a derivative one, the gift of steadfast love modeled off of the (hesed) love God offers us, a love that’s unwavering and resolute through the trials of life and the struggles of human relationship. . . This past Sunday I preached a message about the steadfast love of God. I pray that in the age of self-care, self-love and canceling, we preserve a place for the people who can’t preserve themselves, that we hold on to the people who matter most, not simply because they matter (and can offer something) to you, but because they matter to God. Check out the latest podcast from @renaissancenyc on Ruth from Sunday and if you can, the other messages in the series. . . Shoutout to my brother @bkballin and my sister @davicorine for allowing me to find inspiration in their blessing and @renaissancenyc for the privilege of sharing God’s word to God’s people. . . . I pray you find encouragement in this message and ultimately in this season.
🤷🏿‍♂️ Sibling or Security? Same difference. (Or I can add 15 lbs of muscle around my back and neck -240- 💪🏿and make the security look more convincing) . . Grateful to be present with and for you, sis. @anowaadjah. Great times. // @rootspicnic 2018 #Family #rootspicnic #priceless #love #siblings #familybusiness
