Maybe this is as sacred to me as the peace blanket, as Christ jumping in to protect me in an unfair fight against spirits, or God crowning me and calling me "MINE" . There are some moments when scriptures of the Bible become literal in my life. I'm not sure if I'm actually going to post this...  Each pearl is sacred to me. ...

Can today just be a great day? I know, my walk has consisted of me tripping over my own feet lately.  Maybe its foolery to think that it could be.

Firstly, I'm getting really annoyed with people asking my relationship status with a tone of rushing me. Like, CAN I LIVE? Happily single whilst getting my character and life together, instead of just being with someone just because. .. or no? *crickets* Real reason? You ever been afraid to be with someone out of how you are with God? For instance, I don't...

PT 1 The statement in the picture is in its realist form, because man 😥. However, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, right? Like putting off sex and dismissing lust. Everyday.

To fear or not to fear…death.   For the past couple of days now, I’ve been having difficulty breathing. Now, being an asthmatic since my toddler years battle with my lungs is no surprise.
