PART 1 It’s hard not to question the sincerity of your intentions when my childhood was barricaded by paranoi- i mean parenting. Not one slumber party, not one hormonal teenage delinquent soiree. I say that to say this…it could have been me. I could have been her. Stolen from this world, might as well have …

Enough Has Been Said
Did you nourish your mind today? Did you meditate or just educate, The two cells you have left that hold information one day and the next it all desiccates. Renewing your mind daily huh, so why’re you always running late? Yes, this is a race, but please don’t just go at your own pace. Know …
Could It Be!
Standing to the side I realize that I am the only one that looks like me. I’m hesitant to speak, for fear that my contrast and everything associated with it would be unpleasantly prominent in the room. Though hesitant, I can’t help but wonder if I am exactly where I am supposed to be. That …
This Summer is When I Emerge.
This summer is when I emerge; as a butterfly wringing its way out of its cocoon. Unfamiliar to what it once was and yet astounding and stunning in its new form. Finding out that every single day of its life prior was only leading up to this moment and the many moments to come. As …
Emmanuel 2
I remember when you first held my hand. Thumb rather; five over one. Fingers pink in color, gripping tightly as if before you drew your first breath you already knew who I was. As if you were heaven sent, specifically for me. Little did I know that you were in pain. Consumed by my own, …
Emmanuel

Being a single female Christian is a struggle!!! Oh and let’s not even talk about the stigmas, biases, insecurities, race, ethnicity, and …
Mensah
“Believing you shall receive.” I don’t get it. Right now I don’t even know what that means. Why am I here? To watch people die? And grieve with their families? Where do I draw the line? Between understanding the science and believing in the Unseen. Between wishing for brain death and praying for hope to …
Your Word
You regard Your Word above Your name, teaching me to how pray: lead me not into temptation but deliver me from evil! But the evil of this world is soaking wet, drenching all four corners of this earth. Where can I run to, where can I hide! I hear these voices say “Dwell, dwell in …
Believe and Receive
Thank you LORD for bringing my family, friends, community, and me into a new year. I can’t really understand nor explain it, but I have an expectancy that this year will be full of answered prayers for me and those around me! I want to have faith in the things my flesh has lost hope …
