Almost a week late, but I blame it on work and life! I have done quite a bit of reflection on my 27 year of life. It sounds so melodramatic, I know. But 27 was hard. I had just moved to a new town, basically knew no one, and was really figuring out what itContinue reading “Twenty Eight.”

It has been a while my friends. Honestly I don’t remember when I posted last, only that it was before I moved. I could blame it on the fact that I didn’t have internet the first month and half that I moved, or a friend coming to town. But the truth is, I just haven’tContinue reading “Progress?”

As some of you know, I see a Christian counselor. The original intention behind starting counseling was because I found it hard to connect with people and have real and genuine relationships. I often found myself not sharing about what was going on in my life. I would often share the victory and rarely shareContinue reading “Abide.”

He is sufficient. At the beginning of the year, well technically it was last year. But I knew it was for this year. I resisted my word for the year, every fiber of my flesh fought against it. For those who don’t know my word for the year is Ascend, like Moses going up theContinue reading “Sufficient”

To say that moving was hard was an understatement. I am sure of those who have been following alongContinue reading “Parent Prepartion”
