I can’t take all the pressure…
I’m so afraid to fall. Sometimes I get petrified at the very thought of dropping the ball, of not being what I’m expected to be. After all, I’m responsible for those that look at me as a representation of Christ right? I think Pressure by Jonathan McReynolds hit the nail om the head for me – I’ve…

Break every chain!!!!!
When I lost my grandmother, just about our entire immediate family was at her home and Break every chain was playing on repeat. I couldn’t stand to hear the song for the following few months, it would bring unbearable grief. Here it was, a song that was meant to bring freedom and deliverance did the exact opposite…

Sometimes I don’t trust God though I want to. Sometimes I cannot see how in the world where I am can lead to where He told me I would be. Sometimes I have to repent for my unbelief. I get confused, scared and frustrated.

To the other women…
I’m so sorry that I blamed you for the men that cheated. I’m sorry that I called out your promiscuity rather than my own fear and insecurity. I’m sorry that I was just another source of pain for you, that I allowed my own hurt to cut you with my words.

A heart like yours! (Day 72 – 100 Days of Singleness)

Harlot to Help Meet (Day 63 – 100 Days of Singleness)
And behold, a woman comes to meet him, Dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart. She is boisterous and rebellious, Her feet do not remain at home; “Come, let us drink our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with caresses. With her many persuasions she entices him; With her flattering lips…
