I'm come to realize that I have been self-sabotaging my life for years now. I've been a person who dreams big and never feels satisfaction in the victories.

I Failed You
*Current song to listen to while you read this... Toby Mac - 21 Years* Today marks 3 months since you left us.

Just A Bit Longer
It's a sad realization that while we often remember many of our "firsts" in life we tend to not even realize that our "lasts" have come and gone. We take life for granted and assume that we are promised a tomorrow. Sometimes tomorrow simply doesn't arrive.

I’m going to be honest outright and admit that this subject is one I struggle with. I have such a desire to love others, but I still have moments where my heart loses out to my mind.

This post is long overdue. There’s going to be a lot of happiness that you will read, but I’m also going to address some bad moments as well.

Self Realization And Fighting Back
Today will be a short post, but one that I need to document so I have it to come back to when/if these feelings return. I recently had some much needed conversations with a few pretty great people in my life. And in opening up about things that I didn’t know I was still keeping … Continue reading Self Realization And Fighting Back
Addressing The Past To Cleanse My Heart And Bring Myself Closer To Jesus (Part Two)
I’ve got to be honest with you... after I shared my first post in this series last week I immediately had doubts. Fear of judgement overcame me pretty quickly. Why share these parts of my past that no longer reflect who I am? This is part of my healing process. This is me learning to … Continue reading Addressing The Past To Cleanse My Heart And Bring Myself Closer To Jesus (Part Two)
