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

The Cost of the Call

Living a life of faith is not easy... and I feel like we do not talk about that enough or the suffering that comes before the glory of it.  I remember the moment I first felt God calling me to lead a life of holiness and righteousness before Him; it was then that a particular scripture was heavily put on my heart, Matthew 16:25. The verse says, "for whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it" (Matthew 16:25). And let me tell you that verse has been ever so true in my life but before I dive into my personal experiences, I want to look at the disciples.  Before Jesus, the disciples had a life of their own. A number of them were fishermen and another was a tax collector. They were in the midst of doing "life as usual" until encountering Jesus who told them to leave all that behind and "follow him." The disciples did it without hesitation as they abandon what they were doing and immediately started follow...

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...

You Restore Everything; A Reflection of The Year

Riding on the bus back from the hotel that I just spent New Years with my sisters in, I could not help but feel a kind of nervousness as I made my way back to my uncle's. So much flooded my mind like; where was I going to go in three days? I had to leave my uncle's on the fourth but I did not have anywhere lined up to stay. I felt like I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. I whispered to God underneath my breath, "You told me to stay here and I don't feel the release yet to go back to Canada, so what next"? I told myself that I will stand boldly on faith even if that meant I might end up in the streets. However, I knew that was not likely because my Father would not allow that to happen, it was against His character. Calling me to stay, I knew that He would not leave me stranded but would make a way for me. "The  Lord  himself goes before you and will be with you;  he will never leave you nor forsake you.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged" ...
