Goodbye is Not Forever

The early morning darkness greets me as I step outside the door. Crossing the dew-covered lawn and clamoring down the few steps, reality betrays the cold truth that yet again, me and goodbye have met. It seems we’re becoming closer friends than I had ever wished for. In years past, when faced with same realities, […]

I AM

The early morning light dawns blue, and I reach over and grasp the leather-bound Book lying on dusty white by my bedside. This morning I’m a bit tired, but I’m desperate to soak up a little of His grace. I’m desperate to penetrate through the doubts that paralyze faith. As I open the Bible’s sacred […]

All For Him

Sometimes it takes the shattering of our world to see through the splintered pieces and know that when everything else has been broken, and all that’s left is simply God—then and only then can we really begin to live. Because there’s nothing left but this one truth: this unveiled and unashamed LOVE. *** The door […]

Give Me Your Eyes

The day I opened my eyes, I thought perhaps I’d see with incorruptible sight. But I opened my eyes, black retina widening, adjusting to the darkness of this world.

Lately, (or honestly like all the time, 24/7 lol) I’ve been wrestling with, and turning over and over in my mind a thousand questions without answers, a million thoughts with seemingly no end. And this time, this whirlwind of thoughts has led me to the story of Peter. But it’s not his famous walking-on-water experience […]

The Girl Next Door

The long, endless beach stretches before her. Misty gray bleeds into salty blue. Her cold toes dig into the saline grains—leave footprints etched across endless flat. There’s a story trailing behind her, yet she keeps her eyes on the misty horizon, continually pressing toward this illusion of grandeur. Her strides break with the intensity of […]

To Live

Icy winds whistle through the streets, his weary figure fades behind the door’s forbidden frame. Week after week, promise after promise, and still, he’s a slave to something that once satisfied. Darkness dawns, he staggers from the depths of this deceptive snare. In his drunken stupor, he stumbles to the ground. Blackness blinds his vision, […]

Remember Your Name

It’s minute moments of monotony that leave my mind journeying on the edge of future realities. But before this vision of foresight can bloom, I’m found glancing behind me.  In the past I’m peering, lost in the loathsome reality of a year gone by. My heart trembles; trembles in the terror of this tainted tornado of […]
