First of all, I don't like this picture either. Sorry! It brings back a chill when I see it. Who wants a bug on their new shoe? Not I. But there is a point to this, believe me. In November of last year, I was in a battle about my writing career. I felt burned out and lost my passion. I needed God to speak. Did I need a break? Was I walking along Continue Reading
Stop, Look-n-Listen: Scoreboard
Recently I participated in a Cardboard Testimonies at my church, which is held in a school gymnasium. Reading the signs of past sufferings cut deep into my heart. Why does life hurt so much? I cried.

I love to see the morning skies. I love how the sunshine shines brightly and warms this room especially during the cold of winter. Anyway, one afternoon as I Continue Reading
Stop, Look-n-Listen: Eraser
A few years back, I saw this eraser in the dollar store. I laughed and thought, Who on earth needs an eraser that big? "You do," God whispered. Yeah, I do, don't I? Do we have to go there now? As I went to pay for this silly thing I knew why I was buying it. Not to use, but to remember. I needed another visual reminder of my redemption in Continue Reading
