    A lot of things I want to tell you  Still a lot of things I have to do  Stack of other things I’m yet to do. Help me come to you consistently  Before it all becomes overwhelming  I’m here writing  Not sure if I’m doing the right thing  But it’s better than doing nothing  And…

    You’re the one that shows me my future, You’re the one that can change my past  You’re the one that’s understands my present  And you lead me into your presence. You take hold of my fears  You’ve carried away all my anxieties  You seized my worries  You say they are no longer mine. Your word…

    This was a tough lesson to learn  I love a good challenge by nature  My ego takes pride in everything I’ve earned  Fantasizing on words I’ll use in the future! I struck Gold when I found You But I found that you’re worth more than Gold. I tried to explain my decision to follow you,…

    I’m very thankful for growth  I started out testing the waters with my feet I remember when I couldn’t pray for 5 mins  Without waking up in the next 2 hours. I remember second guessing my salvation  With the fear of What people will think? The hesitation I felt to post my Spotify wrapped  When…

    I find myself falling again  Failing the exact way. Even when I see it coming  It overpowers me yet again. The pattern is consistent  Suggesting I’ve run out of God’s graces. Remorseful, so I take the blame  Then your blood reminds me  You washed my sins away.  How long until I learn? How many cycles…

    Perfect time is my enemy  Holding me back, just to had me over  To procrastination and it’s goons  Carefully drifting me away from destiny  Perfect time is an illusion  I’ll rather do it now. I waited a month For the perfect time to write a piece And guess what? It didn’t show up.  Perfect time…

    Lust is my enemy  Saps all my energy Lust has rizz  It has a subtle way of dragging my attention One look stirs something in my soul One thought causes something to behold But when all is said and done  I’m never satisfied.  If Lust was a full course meal The starters are nice making…

    2 years in  Somehow it still feels like yesterday. I don’t have it all figured out  But I’m not where I was yesterday  2 years in and I’m learning Growth is not by the number of years  But the consistency of my obedience. 2 years in, and sometimes I still feel stuck  I find myself…

    You called me, I said it isn’t me. You called me, I acted like I didn’t hear. You called me, I denied you. You called me, I said I couldn’t do it. You called me, I said I’m filthy. You called me, I showed you my past. You called me, I said I’m spoilt goods.…
