From Glory to Glory

There is a specific kind of silence that follows a blow from someone you love. It’s not the silence of peace; it’s the heavy, suffocating silence of a heart trying to process why the hands meant to hold it are the very ones trying to break it.    I write today because I need to breathe. I write because, if I don't, the weight of these burdens might just pull me under. The Pain of the Hidden Truth We’ve all been there. You look at the person you admire most, the one you’ve cheered for in every season, and you realize they are using their words not to build you up, but to cut you down. It is a staggering irony: those we honor often choose to meet us with dishonor. I’ve spent so many nights wondering why the people closest to us become our greatest battlefields instead of our safe harbors. We talk about faith, we speak of grace, and we acknowledge that none of us are perfect—but shouldn't time count for something? I hoped for maturity. I hoped they would see the "evol...

The Dance of Victory Sometimes you have to encourage yourself and remind yourself  that this too shall pass. So, since I am writing again, I just wanted to share a letter I wrote to myself: Dear Victorious One, Yes, you,! You don't need to look around as if your present state of helplessness and hopelessness is going to last forever.

The credits will roll up the screen to remind you that this episode has come to an end. There is an end coming to this period of your life...go throug...

And the real truth begins here... God is really challenging me in this season to be still and know that He is God! I recognize and understand the God part, because there is no denying that he is God...that is an indisputable fact right there. There is no God but God...Jehovah! However, it is the being still that I struggle with. To be honest, I like to be "in the know", I like details! What woman doesn't? I have this desire to be in control and to control oftentimes than most, and sometimes that desire goes overboard but I don't mean any harm, but somehow the harm is already done because of my great zeal and passion to see things go the way, I planned! Yes, I must admit that I have my own plans and I want what I want, when I want it...but, alas, real life comes flooding in and we don't always get what we want, when we want it and how we want it. We don't get to know the what's and how's of what God is,doing in our lives and the truth is...he...
