ROOTED RENEGADE

Prophetic Words, Testimonies of Grace, & Stories of Hope

  • The Rescue

    Jeremiah 1:19 “They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and and will rescue you,” declares the Lord. For a long time I was not sure if I would ever be rescued. There were many times throughout my life where I would pray for God to save me… Continue reading

  • My Goodbye to You

    I thought it was time I wrote you a letter to tell you how I felt. Not because I had to but more because I felt I needed to. I needed to let you know exactly what you did to me and how you affected my life. I needed to let you know all the… Continue reading

  • It’s Time to Stop Wandering

    Many people use the old clique’ “not all who wander are lost” quite a bit these days. Some even get it tattooed with a compass pointing in all directions. It leaves one to ponder how many take the time reveal at what J.R.R. Tolkien was really talking about when he wrote: “All that is gold… Continue reading

  • Feeling not enough…

    Just because you feel like you aren’t enough sometimes does not mean Jesus can’t use you. He fed the multitude of people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish (Mark 6:34-44)…this passage of scripture shows how Jesus took what even His disciples thought wasn’t enough and turned it into abundance. Often times we feel… Continue reading

  • When we hide…

    We hide behind masks. We hide behind pain. We hide like the grout used to cover up holes and imperfections in the backsplashes as a kitchen is being redesigned. We hide behind complacency. We hide behind dead end jobs sometimes complaining but most times enduring the suffering never looking for better because we feel stuck… Continue reading

  • Live the Vow

    Live the Vow “Live the Vow”…These three very profound words were spoke to me on a very healing and profound trip I took a couple of weeks ago and I have been meditating on what it means to do just that…”Live the Vow”. So what does it really mean to “Live the Vow”? What is… Continue reading

  • Why I Didn’t & Why I Did…

    #whyididntreport Would you have believed me if I had told you? I was am probably just making it up right. Would you have listened to me when I called? I was a nobody to you at the time. Would you have cared when I tried to tell you? I was just sorry junkie in your… Continue reading

  • Why I Didn’t Report

    With all the media buzzing the hashtags #whyididntreport I poured out one of my own. Often times people get it twisted as to why men and women don’t report crimes against that occur against them. A gross lack of acceptance of victims and automatic assumptions is the very reason reporting of crimes goes undone. It… Continue reading

  • I am the clay

    I am nothing more than clay in the Potter’s hands. He alone molds and shapes me. Where there is a crack, he smooths it out. When I am thirsty, he gives me water. When fire is needed, he puts me in the flames. When I am tired, he provides rest. The Potter knows how to… Continue reading

  • God hears our cries…

    All too often we feel as though our Father does not hear our cries for help. We feel as though our pleads for rescue go unnoticed. We sit and wallow in our circumstances, and while they may range in severity, we miss a very important fact about our Father because we fail to do something… Continue reading
