I’m A Prophet… Now what? From revelation to acceptance.
I know, I know. I can hardly even admit it to myself sometimes. I can hear y'all saying, "well how she went from being a journalist to a prophet..." Same thing I ask myself. I'm a teacher now too... But hear me out. I'd stopped blogging because I was getting weary and confused. I graduated …

A story of Courage in Affliction
I've been neglecting the blog. Although I'm sure no one really noticed. Word around journalism town is that blogging is on the decline.

Fighting the Good Fight – Moment of Transparency.
I hate to leave large gaps of time on the blog with no new posts because then it looks like the blog is abandoned. I really do want to blog more regularly but it's been difficult. Nothing comes. I think it is the season I am in. I feel like I am in a holding …

This past Sunday (Jul.24th) my son turned 9. (I'm still in awe at how fast the years are flying by.) Now, birthdays are a big deal to me so my family, friends and I planned a surprise party for him to celebrate his final year in the single digits. Now if you know 9 year olds …
Why Can’t I Find A Good Man? – Confronting Brokenness and Wrong Thinking.
I usually don't like to talk much about relationships - romantic relationships to be exact. I'm single and quite enjoying my season so I try to focus on learning to be present and thankful, while maximizing where God has me. I am quite enjoying the gift of Keciah. I have peace. I have joy. But all around …
