Step By Step

God
Who is it
You have called me
To be?

Your servant
I am

Many things
I don’t
Understand

The feelings
The emotions
The heartache
The pain

Suffering
Of others

Life
Wasting away

Unnecessary 
So, it seems

Higher purpose
More gains

Within me
I search

Working hard
Making the change

To unbecome
What I was

Be who it is
I need to be

Abstract
A foreigner

A perspective
Not
A reality

I’ve grown
Spiritually

Opened my eyes
Brought forth
Questioned
Many things

They do not see
Through the lens
Which I look

Blinded
Naïve

Believed
So many things

The weight
The burden

At the time
I could not conceive

The impact
The role
How everything
Played out
Unknowingly of
What was being done
To me

No one to blame

The enemy
Yeah
I know him
His attacks

Strongholds
In the mind

Once believed
Hard core truth

In reality
Lies

I can speak
I can try to bring awareness
Help others to 
Understand
See

The life they are living
There is hope
There is opportunity
To start fresh
Be set free

If the mind
Is fixed

If the heart
Is hardened 
Like stone

Seeing
Changing
Accepting
Creating
New thoughts
New patterns
New mindsets
New ways

Takes patience
Time
Prayer
Hope
Faith
Grace

And 

The ability
To let go of
What was

Expectations
Held of other people
Of what you thought life would be

To live a life
Without holding onto
Offenses
Unkind words and actions
Every time 
You’ve been mistreated

Deterioration
Decline
A world
Being lived in
No longer
Yours or mine

Find ways
To be grateful

Thank God
For His blessings
For His gifts
His presence
His ways

Even though
You or I
We may not 
Fully know or understand

God’s way
His purpose
His plan
Surpasses all
We can ever imagine

Take the first step
You are never alone
For you are walking with Him
Hand in hand

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!
