The Pain was Purpose!

Did you know that if you couldn't feel pain you would be a hazard to yourself? Never knowing something was hurt, broken, or even if you had a foreign object lodged somewhere, your brain wouldn't register it to your emotions in order for you to react? It's a blessing that you can feel pain, it …

Another Baby !?

My husband wants another child. 1+1+1+1+1= 5 5 of us living under 1 roof and 3 out of those 5 I would be responsible for nurturing. Don't get me wrong, I know my husband will help, even when we weren't together he was always a great father. But can I be totally transparent for a …

Soul Writing

When I started this blog, I was super excited and super naive. I imagined myself spending hours and hours sharing short stories, poems, journal entries, and my experiences. I pictured myself sitting at home on my small laptop, tea in hand, glasses on face, and just writing ferociously as the world around me disappeared and …

Temptation that Awaits

Deep in the dark woods past the quiet river and over the small wobbly bridge, many men would find themselves where no woman would dare to go. Quiet as kept, the men didn't quite understand what drew them to this place, so dark at night at that. Yet if they would talk to one another, …

Jesus knows Depression

  Jesus Prays in Gethsemane (Matthew 26: 36-46)  36 Then Jesus went with them to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and he said, “Sit here while I go over there to pray.” 37 He took Peter and Zebedee’s two sons, James and John, and he became anguished and distressed. 38 He told them, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point …

Perspective Talks

I've learned a lot of tough lessons in life and I can almost say with 100% confidence we all have. The lesson that has taken the longest for me to learn is that even when I give what I perceive to be 100%, I can't expect someone else to see it that way. It's really …

The Friend who never Existed.

I have only had 2 long relationships in my entire life and that has never bothered or really affected me. I was never really into boys. I loved reading and spending time with my friends and going out. I liked the freedom that not being in a relationship gave me. I could go and do …

The Family I Never Forgot.

Growing up as a military brat, people and friends came and went, some sticking in my memory forever, others being washed away like seashells on a windy beach. The last base my father was stationed at is where I remember people the most. It was like coming to an end of what felt like a …

My Enemy is Me.

To be completely honest and transparent, remarrying my ex has not been the bed of roses I've claimed it to be. We don't argue, fight, or stop talking to each or anything. We actually talk more, love more, and make it a point to spend time with each other. At this point your probably confused …
