New challenges
New mentality
Returned from
Spring Break

In and out
Gathering
Student belongs
Personal items
Everything
We possibly could
In only 2 hours
Packaged
Prepared
Labeled
Bags
Placed in
The
Gymnasium room
Ready for
Pick up
Distribution
To families
Teaching
From
That moment on
Had changed
As
I come
To know it
DRASTICALLY!!!
Thrown into
A virtual world
ZOOM
Yes
A place we did meet
No longer
Just
The pretend sound
Made
By a child
When playing
With cars
Trying their best
To imitate
My life
Seemed
CHAOTIC
MESSY
Support systems
Yes there were
Yet
Left to myself
Figure out
Understand
Get a handle on
What all
This stuff meant
In my own way
Had to
Muster up
Find
The courage
The strength
Motivation
Keep the faith
Trusting
Believing
Knowing
This all
IS
Much bigger than
Me
Beyond
My control
Something
For God
To
Take care of
Handle
So frustrating
Life changing
By
The
Second
Minute
Hour
Day
Week
Month
Who knew
What
Every moment
Would bring
Darkness
Despair
So much
Hurt
Pain
Uncertainty
It was there
I felt it
You
Probably did too
The heaviness
The weight
Of
Our world
This pandemic
It
Did grow
Fear
Anxiety
Worry
Every place
Every where
I did turn
Mindset
Focus
Needed
A reset
A change
Look for
See
Be witness
To
The good
Beautiful things happening
Across the
Community
Throughout
The world
Something
To believe in
Hope
Encouragement
My light
Began
To shine
No longer
Needed
To worry about
The darkness
Or
Have fear
The enemy
He is waiting
Be not fooled
By his deceptions
By his lies
Whispering things
While
You are weak
Preying on you
Waiting
For the right moment
To pounce
Attack
Bring about
Great emotion
Give in
Give up
Friends
Turned foe
Love
Turned to
Hate
Yes
There were those
Who did
Discriminate
Since March
I know
I have
Come far
Have learned to
APPRECIATE
Take pride in
Confide in
Not afraid
To
Make mistakes
A new
Learning curve
A big
Lifestyle adjustment
With Him
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
Thank you
Lord
For
Seeing me
Safely
Throughout this all
Each day
I APPRECIATE
ALL
That you
Have
Given me
Back in school
Face to face

Hello and welcome,
I am so glad we have crossed paths!
It’s no accident you are here!
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, notice and read.
As a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher (and so much more), I see the world through my lens. From the way I was raised, to every experience, moment, and circumstance in life, has shaped the way I think and see the world.
For several years now, I have been walking more closely with God, getting to know Him, how He speaks to me and through me. He has given me the ability to write, a way to express how I am feeling and what I am going through. This has been a beautiful, crazy kind of journey where much healing is taking place. A time where I need to offer myself up some grace and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and commitment to creating a better version of myself.
I am learning how to work through and release old trauma, healing, shedding old layers of myself, accepting and embracing my true and authentic self. Getting to know the new me has been quite foreign, especially when the old wants to cling to what is familiar, old habits and mindsets.
Writing has been my saving grace (and photography is right up there too). An outlet, a way to release, a way to pause, reflect and see there is more than what my mind is leading me to believe. God’s word, His voice is there. When I keep Him first, above all things, I’ve realized things work out for my greater good, my higher purpose.
I hope you enjoy and find words of wisdom you can relate to!
