The power of “So Be It”.
At the beginning of summer, I started to take journaling seriously. I used to blog all my thoughts, my struggles, my prayers because I'm left handed and hated having lead and ink all over the side of my hand. This was my form of journaling during my quiet times, and what I thought was absolute bravery, … Continue reading The power of “So Be It”.
“______________ is the thief of joy.”
Growing up, I was quite the firecracker. I was a ball of energy that danced in the middle of Disney World Parades, put 120% into soccer games (which resulted in a lot of fouls and elbow throws), loved swimming in the pool for eight hours at a time, sang in front of anybody and everybody. … Continue reading “______________ is the thief of joy.”

This state of mind I choose to admire does not always compliment the mysterious nature of God. A few weeks ago, I was trolling … Continue reading 6-10 Business Days.
Desire.
Can I be honest with you for a moment? I desire to be desired. Is that wrong? Is that not what society teaches us? I was on Pinterest for about an hour yesterday looking and pinning new hairstyles, makeup techniques and clothes that I want to wear. Why? So I can become more appealing, also … Continue reading Desire.
