To You Mom & Dad…
As I sit here reading about identity I realized the reason I wanted you to be proud of me. For years I struggled making sense of who I really was. Bound by chains of a man. Trapped by curses of a heritage. Do I go left? Right? Forwards? Backwards? Up? Down? I break free from Continue reading

He is our Support
I was driving to work and I noticed that the powder lines were supported with beams made out wood. Interestingly enough I had never made attention to their shape…A Cross. How is that I pass the same cross shaped supports every day and I never “pay attention”. I go day after day on the same Continue reading

People consistently telling her to stop just surviving Time to thrive Time to shine Because they can only see her scars in black and white. They don’t see the courage she begs God Continue reading
