Within the past two nights, God led me to 2nd Samuel 13:33-34 and Matthew 14:3-6, and it has been quite interesting journey. While reading these verses and their whole chapters, there were some connections I started to see. However, one of the connections that jumped out to me the most was lust. Lust, to me, …
Confidant Living: No longer occupying tight spaces
The person you see pictured above is me. Me, in the most simplest and serious form. You can see the light in my eyes; the warmness of my cheeks; the upward curl of my lips, and began to think: Ahh! The confidence! Well, do not let the picture fool you. It was not an easy …

Living in Old Spaces
As the New Year inches closer, I am starting to think about what I would like to leave in the old. One of those things I would like to leave behind is my childhood home. Like most people, my childhood home was a memorable and significant place. Not only because that is where I grew …
2017: The year of No
Recently, I have started to reflect on this year and it has been surprising, to say the least. I had no expectation as to how this year would go; There was no physical vision board; No plan; Barely any goals, except the simplistic ones (aka getting good grades in my courses and losing weight); I …

Insecurity Means…
...Challenges This past week I faced one of my greatest fears: Bathing suit shopping. I haven't gotten in a bathing suit nor bought one in 17 years. So that means, I am 25 years old now and I haven't been in a bathing suit since I was 8 years old. When I was 8 years …
Motives of My Heart
"Well... this is interesting, and funny. Lemme see what this is all about..." Curiosity and being bored one night was all it took for me to download one of those infamous Christian dating apps. I wasn't sure as to why I was doing it, but I was excited. I was wondering what route and experiences …
