I was a cheater too…
Most women I’ve encountered can recall various instances of being cheated on and lied to. Okay, I’m no different but what I also like to share aside from my scars are the wounds I’ve inflicted on others. Maybe it started with me being cheated on. That doesn’t matter, it didn’t give me the right to…

When I need love…
I had a pretty good day. But there came a moment where I just got a little heavy and felt like I needed love. God used it as a reminder that He is my ultimate source of love! As I’m writing this post, the song When I need you is running through my head. There are…

Sometimes I wonder if my love will be too much… Will my kiss be too tender? Will my hugs be too soft? Will you have your fill of me?

Frightening fantasy…
My fantasies have taken a frightful turn. They’re not even about me anymore. My utmost desire is to witness the healing power of God move. My immense and passionate hope is that the power of God be revealed in its fullness and that I am both a witness and a channel of His glory. It’s…

You don’t have to pretend life doesn’t hurt…
I read these words on page 32 of “Dear Mary” written by Sarah Jakes and I closed the book.No, there’s no fancy wordplay, no great deep meaning behind it. The transparency and simplicity of that statement, brought me to a place I had been before and desperately needed to tap into once again. Sometimes life…

To my lover…
You awaken the depths of my soul and breathe life into my weathered existence. Your lips press against mine and your words spill out of me. Your eyes lineup with mine and you change my vision of the world, of my past, of myself. You love me so completely and with so much fervor that…
