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
“He 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,”… Continue reading Perhaps
Abba’s 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 Abba’s Love
Patient
Dear God, I love you because you are patient. You are a patient father, bearing all things. That’s what love does, right? Endures and waits hopefully. I could say that it’s easy for you to be patient. You have all the time in the world (figuratively and literally). It also helps that you’re 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 don’t think I would fully understand even if you explained it to me. But I think it’s 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 /ˈôsəm/ 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 don’t 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 don’t know that. Or I didn’t. 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 “Lord” 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 don’t mean I wanted to unalive myself. I just really wished I wasn’t here in the first place. Life held no meaning anymore. The sadness that permeated my world & heart made no sense. I didn’t want to… Continue reading to be alive
23
I’m literally about to go to bed and I remembered I resolved to put out one blog post a week. Last weekend, I had my birthday, so I think I can cut myself a little slack if I missed posting. But wait. Y’allllllll, your baby girl is now 23 years old!!! It’s insane that I’ve… Continue reading 23
