What is a bird who can't spread its wings and fly? Or a man who lies down in defeat and just wants to die. What becomes of an eagle that never gets to soar? Or what about a lion in the jungle who is afraid to roar? What sense does it make to be pregnant… Continue reading Bloom

I am an educator, a wife of 21 years, and mother of three beautiful children. I have taught the word of God to all ages and love to share it in creative ways. I've always had a passion for written expression. Over the years, I have documented my personal thoughts and prayers. Poems, devotionals, worship songs, and more have come from my life experiences. Now, I am ready to share them with the hope that lives and hearts will be changed as well as greatly blessed.
I am flawed but striving for perfection in Christ.
Although I have fallen short of the glory of God, I am forgiven.
I am loved with an everlasting love.
I am FREE!

Awakened
There once was a sister, Who found herself a mister. And you'd think she'd found a pot of gold. But some how she got it twisted, Or she just altogether missed it, Because she had to give up her soul. Unhealthy patterns started, And she left herself unguarded, Then, she became consumed by lies. Distant… Continue reading Awakened
Mirror
When I look in the mirror, what do I see, I see the image that others get of me. Do they see every blemish? Do they see every scar? That serve as reminders of what I've endured thus far. Do they see that I am broken? Do they see that I am whole? Do they… Continue reading Mirror
Silence Speaks
Silence speaks although we try to hide, What is deep within and festering down inside. Silence speaks when our pain is so deep and is real, And we've done all to cover what we really feel. Silence speaks in our rage and in our guilt, Then, peeks out its head from behind the walls we've… Continue reading Silence Speaks

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.” ~ Jeremiah 29:11.
For me, this is the verse that always feels like a drop of water in a heated desert. It’s something that I like to hold on to whenever I need it, which is pretty often! Does it mean hardship gets any easier? Absolutely not. But what it does mean is that there’s hope for the future; and hope is a very dangerous thing for a positive personality type.
Growing up in a very spirit-filled church, I saw some pretty amazing acts of God and miracles that you couldn’t deny. I’ve witnessed things I can’t even comprehend from an outsider’s perspective, as well as my own! If you grow your relationship close to God, He may gently reveal certain…

This Offering
The sum of tears that roll down my cheek,Few words that are far too painful to speak,When I can't lift my arms because I am weak. A grief-stricken heart that is now left hollow, For great trouble has come and robbed it with sorrow, When the pain in my loins runs deep to the marrow.… Continue reading This Offering

Will You Answer?
One of my pet peeves is being ignored. There is nothing more irritating than calling, texting, or speaking to someone and them not answering knowing you are talking to them. If it bothers me, I can only imagine how the Father feels when He is speaking and we fail to answer. I'm guilty of ignoring… Continue reading Will You Answer?
