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!
