I Sink Deep

I Sink Deep

Treading slowly
Led limbs
Water creeps up
Needles prick my skin
My throat
Suffocating me

I sink deep

Abyss
Time
Goes on
Pulling
Me
Down
Until
I am

Nothing

I rise
Faster lighter
Water grazes my skin
Like smooth silk
Brushing against my face
Loving hands pulling me up
Eyes slowly open
To a warm light
Free

I Rise

Don't Stand For Hate, Stand For Change

Galatians 5:13-15 " For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  But if ye bite and devour one another, take head that ye be not consumed by one another." I started my blog with this scripture because it really puts in perspective the current events of racial tension and police brutality against the black community, which has not started and will probably not end with the injustice and inhumane death of George Floyd and every black man or woman that has been wrongly killed.  Freedom is but an illusion in this world. Freedom is abused in this society. Where was the freedom when a man's last breath was taken from him? When is it right to take someone's life into your own hands? Isn't God the beginner and finisher of our fait? No, there is no such thing as freedom in this wor...

The first question to ask is: Are  you happy with yourself? How often do you guys come across a movie, novel, social media, or even real-life where a person is intentionally single and is truly happy? Not often right... it all mostly portrays relationship goals. I'm sure you've all heard about intentional dating where you are not dating just to date but have a goal at the end of it, which is marriage. Well... it's the same with being intentionally single except the end goal is to be the best version of yourself and to learn to love yourself, which is even more important to do before entering any relationship. Your season of singleness is so essential for your personal growth, attracting the RIGHT partner and entering a HEALTHY relationship and I wish that someone would of told me this before I even started dating! For this reason, I feel like it is my duty to share some insight on how to be happy in that IMPORTANT time of being single.  When making steps towards bein...

This too Shall Pass: Faith over Fear

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:  A time to be born, and a time to die;.../A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;.../ A time to keep silence and a time to speak;...A time for war, and a time for peace" (Ecclesiastes 3:8).          Have you ever heard of the saying that there is a season for everything? Well that saying  first came from the word of God and in this passage God is telling us that nothing on this earth lasts forever; events, situations, troubles and even times where things seem to go our way has an expiration date. I know that sounds harsh but just think about it, how would we grow? Life is not a straight line, there will be ups and downs but what is comforting to know is that God doesn't change and is present through the good times and the bad. I know that some people ...
