Hey everyone! With everything that is going on in the world, I wanted to share with you a poem that I did a few weeks ago. With the coronavirus and all it might seem as though God is missing, but He is here! God sees you! He sees everything we are going through. I hope that you are blessed as you read this poem, God Sees You. To the person that is hurting, God sees you. He sees the tears, He hears the cries, and He knows the pain that you are experiencing. It was not in His design that we should know pain yet that is the price we…

Learning How to Take the First Steps in Faith
Hey everyone! Learning or relearning how to have faith in God and trusting Him can be difficult. I like to think of learning how to trust God like a baby taking its first steps. The baby knows that it’s capable to walk, but it is a new and unknown experience. Does the baby decide not to walk? No! The baby takes its first steps. In those first few steps, the baby will fall however it’s not discouraged but tries again and again until it’s walking. You’re probably asking why am I talking about a baby learning how to walk? Because beginning to have faith and trust in God is sort…

How to Grow Faith after Fear
Hey everybody! Life is filled with a lot of trials and tribulations and sometimes can be hard. Trust me, I know. I spent the last year trying to heal and move on from all the trials I have experienced and it wasn’t easy. What made it difficult was overcoming my fear of pain.

How do I start to move in faith instead of walking in fear? Glad you ask! This…

Reevaluate the Dream
Hi everyone! Welcome back! This year, I decided that I wanted a mantra for the year. I needed something that I could read that would help me get through the rough times. The quote, “you always pass failure on your way to success,” has been so motivational to me recently and is my mantra for 2020. Have you ever felt like quitting when pursuing your dreams or your goals? Have you ever felt as though you ‘failed’ and just wanted to be an average Joe or Jill? If you answered any of the questions yes then I feel your pain. I FEEL YOU! I had so many goals in 2019,…

Welcome Back
Welcome back! Or just welcome! While sitting here and writing this post, I feel the same way I felt when I first started this blog. So much has changed since my first post. So much has changed since my last post. A year has come and gone, and we have started a new year and a new decade. With all these new beginnings, I decided it was time for me to sit down and write and blog again. In the last year, I have learned more about life then I did in the 20 or so years I’ve been here. I want to share everything that I have learned and…
