Howdy! It's been a little over a month since my last post, and although I am way past my self imposed bedtime today, I've decided to hop on here to write. Firstly, let's catch up. I'm still gradually adjusting to life without socials, but here's some of the things I've been up to: Discovered a… Continue reading Life Lately | April Catch Up

Quitting Social Media
It's been a little over two weeks since I said my final farewell to Meta's favorite child, and seemingly most profitable venture, Instagram. What began as an impulse fast off the app a few months ago, finally lead to me being fully convinced of a permanent exit . 'So, what happened between then and now',… Continue reading Quitting Social Media
Perhaps
âHe made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us,â… Continue reading Perhaps
Abbaâs Love
Deeper than the oceans, wider than the seas is Abba's love for me. Unfailing, unwavering, steadfast, eternal. I am done and undone. Shattered into pieces and put back together again. Brought to tears and then laughter thinking about this love. Jesus where do I even begin?! Who am I Lord? I in my nothingness; my… Continue reading Abbaâs Love
Patient
Dear God, I love you because you are patient. You are a patient father, bearing all things. Thatâs what love does, right? Endures and waits hopefully. I could say that itâs easy for you to be patient. You have all the time in the world (figuratively and literally). It also helps that youâre all knowing,… Continue reading Patient
Present
Dear God, I love you because you are present. Ever-present. Present everywhere, every-time, all the time. It feels exhausting thinking about how you do it. I donât think I would fully understand even if you explained it to me. But I think itâs really cool. Exhausting, but cool. It does make me a little more… Continue reading Present
Awesome
Dear God, I love you because you are awesome. awe¡some /ËĂ´sÉm/ adjective, causing or inducing awe I could not find a better word. Or should I say, a better sounding word. But I think this fits perfectly: God, Most Awesome. When I read about you in scripture, or hear about you from people, I am… Continue reading Awesome
Good
Dear God, I love you because you are good. I donât use that word often. Maybe because I did not know what it really meant. It is not quite familiar. I know nice, fine, okay even. But good? I donât know that. Or I didnât. Until you. You God, are good. All good. And I… Continue reading Good
Four letters
I was cleaning and organizing my IG stories recently, and found a few notes from two years ago. In twenty-twenty, I resolved to know God. The sudden realization that the âLordâ I had conjured up in my head, or fashioned in my mind was one that was not true. It was one that made me… Continue reading Four letters
to be alive
There was once a time, not too long ago, when I wished I never existed. No, I donât mean I wanted to unalive myself. I just really wished I wasnât here in the first place. Life held no meaning anymore. The sadness that permeated my world & heart made no sense. I didnât want to… Continue reading to be alive
