Mount Zion

-

You sit high on Mount Zion
Looking over us
Eyes turned upwards 
Climbing that great mountain
The cold earth underneath my palms
Rough rocks loosen my grip
Keep falling..... 
I get up - I try to reach you
Stuck on the ground 
I want to give up
Your hands reach out towards me 
Telling me to try again 
To trust in you
Teary eyes turned upwards 
Climbing the great mountain
Warm breeze embraces me 
Just at my fingertips
Close, but still out of reach...

Held by Grace: A Waiting Woman's Story of Faith and Patience

-

“Was I going to trust God and the promises He had spoken over my life, or would I surrender to fear simply because I was weary from the wait?” The Season of Waiting I posed this question to myself as I sat alone in the car, tears streaming down my face after making the difficult decision to firmly close the door on a budding relationship. Deep down, I knew I had done the right thing. I had chosen obedience over impulse, discernment over desire. But it still hurts. In that moment, the choice wasn’t just between faith and fear—it was between believing that God’s silence still carried purpose, or letting delay convince me He had forgotten. Waiting tests the soul, but it also reveals what anchors it. I wasn’t grieving the loss of the person—not really. We had only just met while I was on vacation. What I mourned was the idea of him. The possibility. The flicker of hope that maybe, just maybe, this was the companionship I had longed for. I cried for the ache of waiting, for the longing tha...

New Beginnings...

Another year has gone by and boy has it been a big year of change, bad and good... Your probably wondering how could there be any good that has come out of the past year but trust me when I say that light shines through darkness and you can always find the good even in the bad. Yes,  2020 was a year of despair and fear but it was also a year of reflection and deliverance (at least for me). It  was definitely a year of change. A change that was uncomfortable and unsettling. A change that has led a lot of us to stop and reflect on our lives. A change that has been "a wake up call," as it showed us that we are not in control. Most importantly, it has been a change that involuntarily and voluntarily changed us. 2020 was by far the hardest year for me, for all of us, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually and that's a lot "ly's"  for anyone to handle but by God's mercy and grace I've made and keep making it through day by day. Nonetheless and w...

How to be truly happy in a season of singleness (Part 1)

-

The first question to ask is: Are  you happy with yourself? How often do you guys come across a movie, novel, social media, or even real-life where a person is intentionally single and is truly happy? Not often right... it all mostly portrays relationship goals. I'm sure you've all heard about intentional dating where you are not dating just to date but have a goal at the end of it, which is marriage. Well... it's the same with being intentionally single except the end goal is to be the best version of yourself and to learn to love yourself, which is even more important to do before entering any relationship. Your season of singleness is so essential for your personal growth, attracting the RIGHT partner and entering a HEALTHY relationship and I wish that someone would of told me this before I even started dating! For this reason, I feel like it is my duty to share some insight on how to be happy in that IMPORTANT time of being single.  When making steps towards bein...
