Cutting. Suicide. Depression. Abuse. Brokenness. All of these things shatter me.
I was listening to WAYFM this morning on my way into work and Wally read an email he received from a 15 year old courageous girl. She mentioned how her father physically, mentally, verbally and sexually abused her. How she felt responsible for splitting up her parents “happy marriage” because when she confided in her...

My weekend…
Well…it was eventful but quite if that is even close to making sense. Let’s see.
[Side note: This will be a little lengthy, but I promise it is worth it, plus I’d ALWAYS love to hear your feedback!]
Friday night…I didn’t do much of anything. I got some house work done and kind of just vegged the rest of the night.
Saturday. I woke up and Maria & I made a trip to Lowes where I...

There is a fever in my soul for you
Only your presence will heal
Only your love will bridge the gap of apathy I have created
Only your truth is the cure
Only your truth is the cure
Only your truth is the cure

A little refresher
Something i wrote a while ago that i think needs to be heard again…
Men as a woman, as your sister in Christ, as a friend;
I challenge you today
PLEASE affirm women with RESPECT and genuine love. Tell them their worth. Show them what it means to be beautiful INSIDE instead of focusing on this shell of a body. Encourage them and build them up into beautiful Castles; not glass shacks....

Anxiety
It is something i absolutely loath. I hate feeling as if my heart is going to explode any minute.

Tonight...
This is how my night went: laundry dishes cleaning painted nails watched a romantic movie sobbed my eyes out listened to love songs folded laundry cried a little more smiled became content looking forward to the rest of my life. Something about an empty house, Christmas lights, heart wrenching songs, and hot tea that makes me melt inside…and i still can’t figure out if the...

Isaiah 43:2

When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.

We look at our lives so often and wonder what we can do to fix them? Why do I feel this way? Why is it takin so long for my heart to heal? How come my ship hasn’t come in?
Recently I was reading and stumbled across this verse, I never realized it was there and I am happy I found it.

Scripture says that when we seek the Lord with all of our hearts we will find Him. It also says that in our weakness He is perfectly and utterly strong. Stronger than we could ever begin to imagine. The truth is, He is always strong. The other truth, we constantly turn our back on Him for our own selfish desires, and yes my dear i’m talking to you too. So many times i say… Lord i...

Fire.
I love the smell of a winter fire. The flames dance through the air and bring to surface many memories of nights curled up full of laughter and love. It’s intoxicating for me, as weird as that may sound, it helps to keep me grounded and at the same time it offers freedom. Fire is one of the most beautiful and profound metaphors that I have found applies to my life. Fire can be destructive,...

Pits.
Time.
Where do i spend mine?
Money. Where does mine go?
Day Dreaming.
What occupies my mind?
Love.
What is the deepest desire of my heart?
My deepest cry is to say “Jesus, Worship, Service, Humility, Evangelism”.
But that would be a lie.
I am in the valley. Scratch that. I am in the muddy pit.
