She had convinced herself that She had had enough of the Master's rejection. She had come before Him and He hadn't acknowledged her. She … Continue reading A Wealth of Poverty: A conversation with the Master →

Who am I that You are so mindful of? Who am I that You hear my cry when I call You? Who am I that You seek me out to honor me? Your daughter, even when I fall time and time again Your child in whom You delight despite my flaws Your friend whom You … Continue reading YOURS TO HAVE, YOURS TO KEEP →

It easy to say we are in seasons When the times are giving us reasons It is easy to explain the times When our hearts can easily accept them But what if we don't know we've stepped into them? What if we're unaware of the times we've entered? Of the doors we've opened? What if … Continue reading SEASONS →

The world around me has tried to define me Those I admired, they've tried to define me The ideologies of society have given their own opinion of me The ordinances of culture have chipped in as well, refusing to be left out in defining me Expectations of family, friends, mentors have given their bit as … Continue reading HE WHO DEFINES ME →
