It is Thanksgiving; I think it’s funny how we make such a big deal out of one day. We shouldn’t just give thanks today, but every day. There is so much to be thankful for every single day of our lives. This isn’t is a rant about people being ungrateful 364 days of the year, […]

November; Take II.
As I struggle to press on through this never-ending November, I find little things to boost my low spirits. I found this wonderful “pep talk” by @calmdownmorrissey . “This part of the semester can be extra stressful with exams, end of the semester projects, etc. Don’t give up. There will always be excuses, fears, and insecurities […]
Immortal.
I was never afraid of death until very recently. See, I used to believe I could live forever. That’s no longer the case. I now realize I am capable of dying at any moment. I am completely mortal. My life can be robbed at any time. I could breathe my last breath at any moment. […]
Life Is Worth Living.
For the past few months I haven’t been able to sleep the full nine hours I should be. I don’t even take naps. I’ll sleep for about two hours and then wake up so suddenly. I believe I wake up in haste for a reason. I truly believe something is connected to my heart. Whenever […]
I Am Yours.
You are my Maker.You created me so intricately.I am perfectly built.I am Your Divine design.All I am is Yours. This body is Yours.My mind is filled with thoughts of You.My eyes see You and Your work.My tongue speaks of You.My ears crave to hear You.My lungs breathe You in.My heart beats for You.My hands create […]
November.
“Cleansing begins.Winter is coming.Time to be made new.” (excerpt from October; The Poem) November has been a really difficult month to get through. September was the violent beginning. Winds have blowing too strong. Strong enough to knock me down. October was the harsh fall. November is the struggle to stand up. I’m trying so hard […]
Ahoy!
I am no longer docked safely in the harbor.I have been called to foreign lands;Lands teeming with new life.This voyage is not an easy one.There are storms. Adventure is calling.This was a risky move.I believe it is worth it.I am afraid.The storms seem to get rougher. Rain will be sent wherever I end up.I sail […]
Never Failing.
Amidst the struggle, I pray the Lord comforts me. And He does just that. So quickly He answers my prayers. He floods me with His great love. I feel Him next to me. I no longer feel lonely. I no longer feel like I am on my own. His presence is all I need to […]
Irrigation.
Lord my soul thirsts for You;I am land made dry by disappointment.Cleared by an all-consuming fire.Water this soul of Yours;Fill me until I’ve been deluged.Plant within me Your fruit;Plant joy, peace, faith, hope, strength, and love.May I teem with produce.Quench this thirst, oh Lord.
Tough Times
I know I said I would take a break. That I would post when I am better. But I can’t do that. Something is tugging at my heart to post even more when I am in struggle. This is about honesty. I should be honest. I should be open. I should be real. I wish […]
