I’ve Sung This Song Before
Another place, another time?The pleasure would have been all mine.It’s been awhile since I’ve been stirred…A long time since this has occurred.Had you but met me long ago…The tales to tell! The show to show!I’d never bring myself to missThe chance to indulge in your kiss.And oh, I’d have enjoyed so muchThe pleasure found in […]

The Pressure to Perform
I don’t know when it happened or how but… I found myself stuck like chuck a few months ago. Like, on complete and utter pause trying to figure out why I was so miserable, so tapped out. I wanted to tear my hair out! But the Lord is nothing if not merciful and kind, so […]

Stay in Your Lane: A Sunday Reflection
There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. Proverbs 19:21 KJV I had a crazy week last week. I couldn’t pull it together.

There is no “new year, new me”
I have not waited to begin the slow and steady process of being myself. I’ve shed all the people, shed all the things, shed the need for validation, shed every tear I could muster, shed broken belief systems, shed expecting anything from ANYBODY but God, shed expecting miracles to fall from the sky.

I’ve Become So Numb
I know what it is like to live in pain. For 34 years I lived with so much hurt and pain and misery that I went numb. I lived what looked like a normal life-I excelled at school, had jobs, got married, had babies, did all the things successful people do-yet I walked around DEAD […]

Being Hard versus Guarding Your Heart: These are not the same!
Butterfly caterpillars create something called a “Chrysalis” – a hardened exoskeleton that protects it whilst it changes. It’s cellular structure has already prepared it for the changes to come, and once the process has ended successfully? You have a butterfly! Let’s talk about it.

You got me going in circles
Last night, I finally dreamed again–not the regular dreams that people get that we usually don’t remember. No, I saw a dream from God. And this is the part where you leave if you don’t believe in God. Or don’t. Cuz maybe you need to believe in God. Anyway. When I was little, it happened […]
