Throughout
My life
Struggles
Many
Were had
EVERYTHING
(yes I mean everything)
Didn’t
Come easy
Life lessons
Learned
The hard way
God
He has always
Been
A part of
My life
From childhood
Current day
Mid-life
Never
Have I ever
Known Him
Like
I do
Today
An epiphany
Of sorts
Seemingly happened
At church
(I know, right?)
Our priest
He spoke of
LOVE
Commandments:
Love God first
Love your neighbor as yourself
Reminded of
Where
God is
In us
With us
At
ALL times
Seek
God
1st
EVERYTHING
WILL
FALL
INTO
PROPER
PLACES
Yes!
I get it!
Wow!
God
He spoke
Through
A message
For me!
(…and maybe others too!)
A newfound
Freedom!
Perspective
(I kind of knew)
Assurance
Affirmation
Acceptance
The presence
Of God
He
Lives within me
He
Wants what’s best
For me
The life
I lived
Far
Too many
Years
(I must admit!)
God and I
Well…
I knew of Him
Never
Did I know
Him
As intimately
As
I do now
The
Importance of
Putting
God first
Seeking Him
His guidance
His advice
His approval
In
EVERYTHING
I
DO
No wonder
Life
My life
Childhood
Adolescence
Adulthood
Midlife
Family
Friends
Relationships
School
Work
Beliefs
Mindsets
Emotions
Feelings
Attitude
Wrong
All wrong
So many
Years
Confused
Lost
Feeling like
Something’s missing
Where
Do I
Belong?
I
Didn’t know
I
Didn’t understand
God’s presence
His power
His glory
His blessings
His offerings
His gentle hand
Peace
He has given me
A gift
Do you see?
Spiritual growth
Maturity
Offering
Old version
Of myself
Making way
For
Lending to
New
Improved
Authentic self
He
Is the way
He
Is the light
He
Is the truth
All
He asks
Is
To seek Him first
My life
Perspective
Changed
Priorities
God
He is
My
Number 1
With
That shift
I can attest
The workings
In my life
I appreciate
How grateful
I AM

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!
