When I was in Elementary school, my neighbor friends invited me to their Church's Vacation Bible School. My Mom would not allow me to go because I was not a member of their church. I didn't understand why I couldn't go because she would send me to "our" church every Sunday. I thought that as … Continue reading My Lord – Repost

Superficial
I want to be real with you right now about a matter that’s keeping people on a Superficial level in their lives. I know that we’re in a time where it seems as if everybody has their “stuff” together.

Abandonment Issues and Restoration – Repost
Growing up with my Dad in the home but emotionally detached established the belief that I had that even though a guy didn't actively participate in our relationship didn't mean that he didn't want to be in a relationship with me.

As if I was working to create something but no one was interested in it; thereby causing me to question whether or not I should be doing what I thought was a good thing. That since the giveaway wasn’t … Continue reading Grace to Give

With all of the changes and opportunities that have come my way lately, I haven’t had much time to think about not being in a relationship.

A Time of Rest
This year so far has been a year of challenges, setbacks and miscommunication. It’s also been a year of quantum leaps, new gains and renewed hope.
