It’s been quite a while since I’ve been here… Three years to be exact. I was off in the world living or at least keeping myself busy, thinking I was living.

Self preservation. … Continue reading Merry Go Round

What … Continue reading PTSD- Relationship Trauma
I’ve repelled some really good men. Self sabotaged many attempts at having a healthy and loving relationship by holding fast to the empty promises of a married lover. Pretty words with no action behind them. I’d probably still be stuck by those words. I had to accept that healthy love doesn’t have someones actions continuously choosing another person over you, while feeding you fairytale bullshit … Continue reading I choose me…

It is time to unpack some of those issues… Trust and surrender, complete surrendering, I believe goes hand in hand. I have trust issues. It’s evident in how i continue to navigate in this world. Cautiously, trepidatiously. It’s apparent every time I step into the water. Each time I’m asked to let go and float on my back, I tense up and sink to the … Continue reading I have more issues than Cosmo…
He who find a wife finds a good thing… Proverbs 18:22 I hear so many women quoting this particular scripture and always stating that we are the prize. But are you really a good thing? What makes you a prize and a good thing? Beyond your good looks, fabulous career and great yoni, what attributes do you exude that qualifies you as a good thing? … Continue reading Are You A Good Thing
I recall a very specific time when I was in a bad place financially. I mean, real bad. I was working at my first law firm, only making $11.50 an hour. I was excited to finally be working in my field of choice but the pay, just wasn’t getting it. I had decided to apply for a position in a different department, bankruptcy. I figured … Continue reading Rejection is often God’s Way of Protecting Us

The tangible!An idol can be anything that takes our focus off of God. We chase after relationships, career success, money, material things that will be ruined and replaced.

Maybe this disappointment occurred in my life to push me back to God… I had been running for so long. Distracting myself with so many other things and people. Until he said enough!!! I will get your attention somehow! (Not saying that God causes us to experience disappointment). We live in an imperfect world and we are bound to experience setbacks that knock the wind … Continue reading Draw Near to God and He will draw near to you… James 4:8
There is a time and season for every activity under the sun… Ecclesiastes 3 I still feel like I am in a season of having to learn how to let go of people. Lost, wandering in the wilderness. I believe God is trying to teach me how to let go of unfruitful relationships. He will lead me out of the wilderness once I have learned … Continue reading Letting Go
