At My Side


With hopeful eyes I look at you;
Wondering if you see me through.

 All the things I've seen,
All the things I want to hide.
Do you see me with your eyes?

 I bare myself before you;
Please tell me you're there,
At my side.

 Note: Not all my poems are about romantic love. This is about One's relationship with the Lord. 

 The last year for me has been a very trying time in terms of my education as well as my spiritual journey with God. At times, I felt lost and very much alone because it was as though I was suffering in vain and no one knew. 

 It is through these moments I began to press in with prayer and vigilance that I was able to rise. We forget that our lives are filled with battles; God and the devil are constantly trying to vanquish the other. 

 Honestly, I think I'm going through one of those moments right now. But I must first trust in him and know that ultimately it is all for his glory.

Where do you start?

When I first decided to tackle this idea in August, I had no idea where to begin. To be honest, I still have no idea where to begin and what is the most appropriate means of deciding a denomination. Don’t put it pass me to sit in the middle of the desert one of these days hoping to find God. I tend to do crazy things. At one point, I decided that I wanted to be Orthodox Jewish and I was CONVINCED! Before I started to really dive into my search of a denomination, I started from the beginning. There are three basic branches of Christianity. They are: Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant. Yes, I am well aware that there’s another branch called Restorantionists but that’s more recent in history and only dates back to the Second Awakening (early 1800s). I wanted to break things down to bare basics. If you really want to get down to it, here's a diagram of the major branches of Christianity. This is going to sound awful but straight off the bat, I crossed out Catholicism. Not...

Singlehood

First, I want to state that its been a very long time since I've written a post. It's not due to the lack of thoughts and emptiness in my spiritual growth; it has been simply due to the fact that 24 hours really is not enough time. Not only do I juggle driving from office to office as a sonographer; I do the same as a piano teacher. Life is never ceasing. But don't get me wrong; I'm not complaining. I love it all. Moving forward. The topic I wanted to talk about is Singlehood or simply what it is as a single woman/ and or person in the church. (These are my own experiences. Please do not throw it out of proportion.) Its many things. But most of all, it is tough. I find myself trying to almost explain myself to questions and statements such as: "Why are you single?" - It is not by choice. I just haven't found someone who wants to be with me. "You seem soo put together. Why are you not in a relationship?" - I'm sorry to say this b...

Working on me and God.

It's funny how every time when I'm at a complete loss for works or direction in life this is the place I find myself. My blog. The beginning of my "adult" perception of the world. The version of myself that I hope and believe is this all-knowing person because I have aged and is now 'woken.' But the true reality is that I'm dreadfully lost and blessed at the same time. It is easy to find oneself in utter despair and forget one's blessing but it takes another level of 'wokeness' to realize that not all aspects of your life are as shitty as you think. For one, I am truly blessed to have Mark in my life. I love him dearly and often reminded of his love on a daily basis. I could have never imagined that God would bring him into my life last year when I thought all was lost and that I would die from the loneliness that covid created. I can't even begin to describe what it felt like to have not hugged anyone for almost two months and wanting to b...
