Who is filling your cup?
Our thoughts are what we feed them. Who are we allowing to speak truth to us? To speak life? How can we hear God’s truth if it is clouded by the noise of this world’s distraction? If we quiet our minds and hear God’s truth over our lives, very rarely would we question “am I […]

Blissfully Broken
Today, I am reminded they no longer control me. Maybe I am broken, but I am blissfully broken. The mind is a powerful thing. Will. I had it. I wanted to survive. I did. I endured. I prayed. God answered. I didn’t get to where I am today because this life was handed to me. […]

The waves are what give the ocean character
Right now I could use the tranquility of the ocean. From sunrise to sunset, the ocean speaks volumes to my soul. I belong there. It’s very rare that you find a beach with the perfect view of the sunrise and sunset. (I haven’t been to very many beaches, except for all those on the eastern […]

Before you pass judgment
So I finally had a few days off where I could breathe, and catch up on sleep. Honestly I didn’t think about anything, I just needed few days of “non-deep thinking”. (Which is a pretty big deal for me) So first order of business, I went and got a pedicure. Now before you pass judgement […]
