Happy New Year!

“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” ‭~ 2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:18‬ I feel excitement all around as we begin 2020. It's new in so many different aspects.…

I’ve Been A Little Quiet

"You seem a little quiet lately," I told him. "You're right. I'm just going through some things," he responded. How was I supposed to know this conversation would set my path for the next few months? I suppose I might have seen it coming, but then again, I didn't realize I was in the wilderness…

24 and On…

24 was quite the year ❤️ 1. Don't be afraid to dream God-sized dreams. They do come true. 2. Know God for yourself because when others hurt you, and they will, you know it wasn't God who hurt you. 3. Your body and health is a gift. Take care of yourself. 4. The most freeing…

23 and On…

23 was a roller coaster of a year, but God is so good and He is so faithful. Today I say goodbye, and tomorrow I say hello to 24. Here are 23 things I learned from my twenty-third year. Jesus is everything. My goodness is nothing apart from God. Forgiveness and restoration is possible and so…

Forever

For a special person that life did wrong, but still he hangs on. He is ever-kind and ever-caring. All heart and never failing. His eyes are sad, but he’s still smiling.

The Surprise Party

Last week I threw my best friend a surprise party and it was a total success. I was so overwhelmed and heart-warmed with the way people stepped up to help make it a success. I was crying in the kitchen while I was cleaning up because of how well it went. That might sound strange…

Tears

I’ve been holding in this cry and now I feel nauseous. It has to come out one way or another. I just don’t want to cry anymore. My tears at this point are redundant. They’re echos of the same pain, springing up from the same well. My heart is so heavy. All the time. Like…

Mascara Stains

She has mascara stains on her pillow. Every day she runs into her room and hides her face in the pillow. She cries all the time and she hopes the pillow muffles the sound of her sobs. She doesn’t remember ever crying this much, but one day she found herself sitting on the floor on…

To the Girl Who is Choosing to Wait

Beautiful Girl, I can write only about waiting because that is what I know. I am the girl, now woman, who hasn't and will not until she is married. So if you want to wait, you've come to the right place. I made the decision to wait when I was sixteen, but I was naive.…

Prayer

I close my eyes and open my heart. My knees bowed and my spirit lifted. The duty of an intercessor, I begin to speak. Thankful, I praise. Grateful, I worship. In my room and on my floor, But part of something more. “My Father in heaven,” But with me and in me. How can it…
