Using the past tense in reference to my late grandfather doesn't sit right with me. It never has, I don't know if it ever will. For a man with so much presence, a man who almost never seemed mortal, especially when we were kids, it still doesn't sit right with me. Today, it's been three [...]
Live. Laugh. Love.
It's been weeks of typing and abruptly shutting my laptop, about eleven weeks of starting to type so beautifully, deleting it and going to sleep, several weeks of being indefinitely unsure of everything, and dwelling on that, wrongly so. Several weeks of God's goodness, through it all. Several weeks of learning to trust in Jesus [...]
LIEBSTER AWARDS NOMINATION
It's been almost 11 weeks off my site, but here I am like I never left. Prior to six days ago, I had never heard of the Liebster award, but God blessed us with Lizah Sagini so here we are! The Liebster Award is an award that exists only on the internet and is given [...]
Finding Me-mo(re)

Having grown up in a Christian family, my immediate family being seventh day Adventist, it's always been discouraged to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Mentally, [...]

A new dawn

Free
I forgive myself for the times I was stupid enough to act as I shouldn't have. It's liberating. I'm free. Photo: Alan Mersom, Unsplash
Some kind of ‘Happy’
Today Is the day To stop pretending That you are okay With not being okay Yesterday Could have been the day You lied your last "I'm fine" Tomorrow Could be the day You actually mean it If you do not Pull the weeds In the garden The flowers Will never Grow No rain, no flowers [...]
Back
She, In the dark, Found light Brighter than many can ever see. She, Within herself, Found loveliness, Through the soul's own mastery And now the soul receives From her dower: The message of strength Of inner power. ~Langston Hughes via Kwamboka O'Kireki Photo: John Newton, Unsplash
