Living in the possibilities and pursuing purpose.
The more I share and listen to others, the more I find I am not alone. Life was never easy. Honestly, many days, life sucked. I did not want to be where I was in that moment, especially in my childhood. I certainly prayed and cried myself to sleep many a night, just to wake up and find myself on the same ride.
Many who have remained hidden somewhere in the background. Fear stomping her fight. Shame draping over his shoulders like a heavy stone cape. The burden, effortlessly, weighing her down.
In a moment of rage, we ferociously take aim and fire with ticks of our fingertips. What we would never do face to face, we now feel strong enough to do while hidden comfortably in our homes.
The battle for ownership of A broken mind. Missiles firing, darts flying, guns shooting All where an eerie quiet resides.
How did I manage to live in both of these worlds simultaneously? Under any other god, one would be evicted for the crimes of immorality I've committed.
He is there in your regrets. He is there in your shame. He is there in all the dirty of your life.
I've fallen flat on my face in desperation. Yet, I've walked away from those secret moments believing in His power, but not trusting in the change I was praying about.
Just encouraging and beautiful..
I am a teacher. I have the best job in the whole wide world. (With the exception of being a Mother of course.)
Parent teacher conference days send a chill up my spine every time. I sit in the middle of the big cold gym in the middle of a month way too far away from spring break. Parent sits across the table- the table I have covered in neat stacks of student data, strengths, weaknesses, goals and dreams.- She states “Should you really be teaching?” Just like that my world crumbles. Shattering and falling all around me, it takes shards of my skin and soul with it on its way down to the ground. She has exposed me in my doubts, inadequacies, and utter unworthiness because the truth is;
I am a failure.
Without God.
Without God I am a failure.
An important change in syntax makes a world…

To the men that take my son onto a field of fire. To the men who teach him football, about a winning desire. I take a moment to thank you, before my God and King. For though the field was meant for battle, you showed my son the greatest thing.
Divorce is an everyday thing in the 21st century. Adultery is common, for both men and women. These issues are found in every church community, small group, and many pastor’s circles.

I'm someone who has always had a deep passion for literature and writing. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of words and the way they can transport us to different worlds, open our minds to new ideas, and connect us with people and experiences that are distant from our own. Whether it's immersing myself in a classic novel, jotting down my thoughts in a journal, or crafting my own creative stories, writing and literature have always been an essential part of my life. I'm excited to continue exploring this rich and rewarding field, and to share my thoughts and insights with others who share my love for all things literary.
Grace for Today. Hope for Tomorrow.
