Glow



Do I shine as bright as the rest?
Or do I emanate a glow of my own?

 When you see me, do you see my apparent flaws? 
Or do you take me in as a whole and love me despite all?

 What makes me so different from the rest?

 It is because I see YOU as a whole and love YOU despite all.

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...

I AM.

I am strong. I am beautiful. I am kind. And most importantly, I am worthy of love and affection. I wish I could tell you that these thoughts have been nurtured and running through my veins for all 32 years of my existence on this earth but that is very far from reality. Up until about a few months ago, I felt the absolute opposite.  I grew up thriving on my self-worth solely on the thoughts and feelings I received from men. Always feeling insecure in my body and my lack of ‘coolness’ is and has been my general motif. For those who don’t know, I snapped at one point last year and chopped off all my hair. Though this seems like a normal task for most girls, it was a huge step for me. It was at that moment I chose myself over the thoughts of many. That was the moment I chose to just live and be without restraints. Over the last year, my faith in God has been greatly challenged. Though I remain spiritual, I don't know if I would consider myself religious or at least having that ...
