~ Faith ~
“Faith is what takes us to places we’ve never been…” It’s our faith in God that moves us into the next season 🙏 As I read back through my mission trip experience as a teenager, I smile with joy. I am reminded that God is always making a way. I am a writer at heart, God created me this way. He created me with the skills and abilities to enjoy journaling through life.
And so, I continue… Moving the pen left to right on paper – an invitation. My prayer journal 🙏
An opportunity to spend time with God and share my thoughts with Him. To reflect and be grateful for everything in my life. To cry, to laugh, and most importantly, to give Him praise for His grace and mercy over my life. 🙏 ❤️
He has a purpose and a plan for each of us. Your story isn’t finished…
You are becoming ❤️ Have Faith
But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him”— 1 Corinthians 2:9

~ The Truth ~
Sometimes we know it in our hearts … we stayed because everyone needs love. But months turned into years…. and your feelings became overwhelming. Yet, his answer was always the same.
“I don’t want a relationship with you”
He says…. Just a friendship….
You find yourself at a crosspath….to stay …to go…to let go…to hold on….You pray for wisdom and guidance…. It’s all the same to him. He’s made up his mind. You take what’s left ….. the memories and move on. Only God can restore what’s been done.
The truth is that God is enough for you. His love is enough. You are chosen by Him, called His child. You are wonderfully and fearfully made by Your heavenly Father. He will always pick you, over and over again.
~ Forgiven Ministry ~
A North Carolina faith-based nonprofit organization spreading God’s word and love with inmates and thier families. If you want to hear the stories of hope and forgiveness through the lens of those who have experienced incarceration or the impact of it – I would encourage you to read Hands Reaching, Hearts Touching A 30 Day Devotional written by the founder of @forgivenministryinc Scottie Barnes.
I had the opportunity to hear her story for the first time a couple weeks ago through my work’s 10 years of tithing event and I couldn’t hold back my tears. A powerful story of love, forgiveness, and God’s grace. If you would like a copy of her devotional please reach out to @forgivenministryinc
Never stop praying and forgiving those who have hurt you knowing or unknowingly 🙏 God is faithful always 🙏 🙌 Your story makes a difference! A Testimony to share God’s work in your life! Be blessed always 🙏 ❤️

~ Beauty In Rest ~
Sometimes…. …we disappear to rest Just like the sun… Everything God created has to rest… ….It doesn’t mean we won’t see it’s shining beauty again… …It means when it rises again… ….you’ll appreciate it’s beauty the beauty God created…
