Trigger Warning - I mention rape in this post. This is something that I haven't wanted to talk about. I've actually never wanted to discuss this publicly but I feel like I need to finally fully address this. I talked about this a little bit in the post 'no bondage' but I didn't go into… Continue reading accountability is hard but necessary

why I have stopped supporting Beyoncé
When Beyonce dropped her latest album, I listened to it on my way to work. I wasn't 100% comfortable but I ignored the feeling. I was just being dramatic and "too Christian". I saw the think pieces about the song 'Church Girl' and rolled my eyes. I thought people were just being dramatic because it… Continue reading why I have stopped supporting Beyoncé
faithfully obedient
On Saturday March 4th I met up with a friend at a coffee shop. We talked for a few hours, bonding over God's goodness in our lives. We then went to the mall so she could find shoes for her birthday dress. I mentioned that my small group leader was having a worship night and… Continue reading faithfully obedient
no bondage
Happy March! I am currently in the middle of God fulfilling mad promises in my life and I cannot wait to share the full testimony with y'all!

is Egypt still in you?
So I have this thing that I do and before I share it, yes I know it’s not a good thing at all. So if a situation comes up where I have an opportunity to sin, I’ll tell God “oh this is the last time” and just … sin. And frankly it’s a double whammy… Continue reading is Egypt still in you?
When you are weak, receive
It’s been a long time since I’ve written here or even gone to church. I’ve been … scared to be in God’s presence. I don’t know if it is the lack of trust I had in Him over my future or frustration because it seems like nothing is working out the way I want it… Continue reading When you are weak, receive
Cycles
See, the devil, he learns from your mistakes ... even if you dont.Cycles - Jonathan McReynolds The first time I heard this song, my mind was blown. Not just by the artistry of the lyrics but by the way it grabbed my bleeding heart and tightened its grip until I couldn't take it. Apparently, the… Continue reading Cycles
you must enter a relationship with yourself before anyone else
I wrote this piece in the winter of 2017. This piece has always meant so much to me because it was the first time I started to associate sex with how harmful it truly is when it is had outside of marriage. It took a few years for me to really get it though. I've… Continue reading you must enter a relationship with yourself before anyone else
