  • Emotional Baggage

    It’s a lot of load. When I try to unpack, It’s overwhelming  So I let my thoughts slack.  I have to be true to myself. I don’t know as much as I do know. When you’re moving in circles  There’s really no end. I speak in parables  And write with riddles  To soften my emotional…

  • Everyday

    How can I live for You? How can I be like You daily? What does it mean to You? How can I be Christ like everyday? I have my moments  Sometimes I’m pumped and energized, My flesh is starved While my spirit is active.  On those days I pray with a revelation. I speak wisdom…

  • Help My Devotion

    Help My Devotion

    Misplaced priorities. How I let myself get easily deceived  Everytime.  Indiscipline has become a bad habit. I’ll do it later — I say  I watch as procrastination eats up what’s left of my devotion. Religiously I try to show up  In my own strength I move until I’m fed up Zero intimacy just motion. Please…

  • I’m No Longer Ordinary

    Happy New Year Guys! It’s 2026! It’s still somewhat unreal how I’ve been showing up here consistently. I chose to take the month of January to rest, reflect, plan and write without posting. I remember starting. The fears, the uncertainty, and worry  It was palpable. Until this became a safe space for me  To pour…

  • Do I Really Love You?

    Do I Really Love You?

    I want to love You The way my soul actually craves for You. I want to hold unto to You The way my spirit thirsts for You. But I find myself  Doing what my body pleases. It’s so confusing. My heart asks me Do I really love You? People think I love You. But I’m…

  • Thoughts

    Thoughts

    Am I being greedy? Am I giving up again? Am I standing for what’s right? Am I in the wrong? If I chase what’s in my best interest  Am I being selfish? If I act like I’m not hurt  Am I being selfless?  Grey lines, blurry times  One moment I’m certain  Other time I have…

  • My Daddy

    My Daddy

    How you hold me so dear You show this much care You shield me from these fears When I think I’ve gone too far You remind me you’re always near. My heart is filled with gratitude  You’ve corrected my bad attitude. Oh how You love me  Beyond what the meets the eye.  It’s been 3…

  • I’m not stupid and I’ve tried

    I’m not stupid and I’ve tried

    I’ve actually tried  Lord Knows!   I’ve also failed  A couple times.  When it wasn’t easy  When doubts were rising  When I wasn’t sure  I tried.  Did get too comfortable? Was it difficult? Did I mess up? Yes…. but I tried. Real Life or is this simulation? The situations stare me bold  And I’m questioning…

  • Oh Foolish Man

    Oh Foolish Man

    I have displayed my folly  I’ve acted like I know better I’ve spoken unwise words to the Most Holy  I believed I was way smarter.  Foolishness had the best of me How can I compare my thoughts  To the one who gave me the ability to think I most certainly wasn’t thinking  I’ve accused Him…

  • How far can I go?

    How far can I go?

    Alone I can’t go too far. But I’ve been doing this on my own. Every time I’m burdened, You say I’m not alone. Sometimes it’s just the simple things. But my eyes are too blinded to see. For every smile, and the sadness behind the scene, Heal me and show me mercy. If someone could…
