Hello everyone! I’d like to extend my sincerest apologies for my absence. I recently spoke with someone about how our fellow bloggers suddenly disappear without a trace and I always pray for their safety. Over the last few days, I’ve attempted to write a brief explanation for my upcoming get-a-way, but I can’t seem toContinue reading “Mini Get-A-Way”

Witness Marks
This message spoke volumes to me for several reason. The main reason being that I recall a time when people went above and beyond without motive or expectations of being rewarded, but simply out of kindness and consideration. Even the slightest act of kindness at one time was greatly appreciated and those on the receivingContinue reading “Witness Marks”

Ecclesiastes 5:2
“Do not be rash with your mouth…“ My spirits have been somewhat broken this week. Something I’ve noticed about myself in the last year are so that for some reason I’ve allowed certain things to get to me in such away they didn’t before, even though what I continue to witness is nothing new. I’veContinue reading “Ecclesiastes 5:2”
Lived Experience (Part 2)
The first time I witnessed someone having an epileptic seizure I was 10 years old. Although never imagining that one day it would be me, I never forgot what I saw. Aside from the woman’s body jerking uncontrollably, what I recall the most is that no one standing around knew what to do to helpContinue reading “Lived Experience (Part 2)”

Good Intentions
There is nothing more annoying to me than poor customer service, especially when attempting to accomplish a task over the phone and there’s no eye contact. Recently I had a refreshing experience when visiting a particular retail store for the first time-EVER! I had put it off for quite some time because although I’d doneContinue reading “Good Intentions”
Spotting God
A pirouette is a graceful spin that’s executed by ballerinas and contemporary dancers alike. As a child, I loved to do pirouettes in my modern dance class, whirling round and round until I was dizzy in the head and fell to the ground. As I got older, a trick I learned to help me maintainContinue reading “Spotting God”
