I will be the first to admit. Sometimes, I do NOT like people. They are messy and chaotic. They can be fickle and wishy-washy. They can even be too much at times. Honestly, the older I get, the more I’ve come to enjoy my own company and have become quite selective about who I giveContinue reading “The Power of Community”

Trust His Plans
All of my life, I have been a planner and an overachiever. By the time I was in high school, I had at least the 20 years of my life mapped out. I would graduate from high school, attend a 4-year university, go to medical school, and become an Ob/Gyn. Thereafter, I would buy aContinue reading “Trust His Plans”
Tears
My heart has been broken,My heart has been filled with joy. My heart has been played with,As if it were a toy.

When Love Walks In
When love walks in. Fear is checked at the door. Humbled hearts bow in submission, Upon the holy threshing floor. When love walks in, Blinded eyes see again. A blanket lined in God’s glory, Covers a multitude of sin. When love walks in, Divided nations unify, Wisdom comes from Heaven, And shines the light onContinue reading “When Love Walks In”
Exchanging Ashes for Beauty
I grew up in the foster care system in Michigan. My mother had been sexually assaulted at the age of fourteen and conceived me.

My siblingsContinue reading “Exchanging Ashes for Beauty”
