“It’s Really Not Faith If There is Nothing to Fear.”

Lately, I have been stressing out really hard about an assignment God revealed to me. Since I received this call, I have been having a very real "Moses" moment.. that has been going on for weeks actually. "God this is too big for me. I don't know enough. The people doing this have doctorate degrees. …

“What Would You Do If You Couldn’t Fail?”

I am a great writer. I KNOW that. I know that I can tell a story, write a poem or a song, get a message across, create, convince, coerce... I can work magic with my pen. It doesn't matter the subject matter or the forum, I can convey it and I can do it well. …

Dear 2014…

You kicked my butt so bad some days I wanted to give up on life. There were times I thought I would never make it through but you are coming to a close and I am still here. I outlasted you. And that in itself is a reason to rejoice. Still, I hold no bitterness …

So God Told You He Is Your Husband?

(As seen on The Praying Woman. I wrote this specifically for women but I know that the reverse happens as well. It is important to note that I by no means meant to imply that as long as a man says you are his wife, then it is set in stone. Men have also been …

Seasons Change

I've been trying to understand where my fairly recent obsession with landscape photography came from. I grew up in the country in a small town right by the ocean. I spent my childhood playing in the bushes, making mud pies and climbing trees. Most of my mornings were spent by the ocean, with my grandmother, watching …

He’s Coaching Me to Victory!

I think it was around this time last year that I was watching the Usain Bolt documentary on Netflix. He was running laps during a training session  with his coach but he kept getting a lot of things wrong and so the coach would stop him and correct him each time. I remember being amazed …
