Who’s your Author?
There is something extremely humbling about turning your life over to God. You go from planning your today’s and tomorrow’s, to having to trust that whatever the future holds is exactly what is meant to be. I still struggle with letting go completely and allowing him to work. But if the bible says that he’s […]

Bruised… not Broken
When I was younger, I was picked on by most of my classmates and peers. Weird right? Considering how awesome I am now, lol. (I don’t want this to become a sad story so I needed to add a bit of humor before I got into the grit of this story.) One day in the […]

I try to leave my blog as unbiased as possible. Simply because I want this to be a place where races and religions aren’t taken into consideration because we’re all people. But at some point in time, certain things have to be addressed. We’ve grown to be so afraid of what’s politically correct and what’s […]
