I stood in line and tried to hold it together as I waited to give my testimony. People said how God helped them succeed. And I was just happy to be there. It shook me to the core. “Don’t cry, by all means, just say what you need to and move on.” I saw the… Continue reading Testimony Time

20/24 Vision
I was on Instagram and I saw a girl about to bungee jump. She was suited up, in her harness and all she had to do was jump. She started to cry, changed her mind and wanted to quit. Her sister was cool and calm and tried to encourage her. She was probably anxious too… Continue reading 20/24 Vision
The Hollow-days
“No. Not now. Not here.” I constantly whispered that to myself. On Christmas morning I had what I have recently recognized as a “grief attack”. Grief attacks are like emotional anxiety attacks that are a result of the grieving process when you have lost a loved one. It persists in people who have not fully… Continue reading The Hollow-days
Be Specific!
I recently went on a safari getaway with my friend. We were in the middle of somewhere with no signal most of the time, and it was absolutely lovely. As we went on our second safari, I said I wanted to see a hippo. At that point, we had seen a lot of animals. I… Continue reading Be Specific!

Sometimes I adore what I see, sometimes I tell myself to do betterbecause I know I am capable of doing better. We have talked about the uncertainties and randomness of life more thanenough… Continue reading We Good?
Great!
In our saddest moments, we are in so much doubt about the good that happened before it. Were we really happy? Was it truly an experience? Were those honestly the “good times”? This thought makes us doubt and judge our next steps. It makes us prone to living in a constant space of discomfort not… Continue reading Great!
Low and Behold
Rereading what you wrote down during the lowest periods of your life is eye-opening. For someone that does not particularly like the low side of life, it sure does hit me hard when it does. Escaping from the reality of a situation makes the probability of reliving the moment and NOT making any changes much… Continue reading Low and Behold
