Catching Like Wildfire

Let's talk about fear for a moment. Fear can make you feel like you're at the end of a tunnel with darkness pressing in from all angles. I'm afraid of many things. I'm afraid of all kinds of bugs. I'm afraid of driving in a blizzard in the mountains. I'm afraid of skydiving. On the... Continue Reading →

Mindset

Every testimony I've ever heard starts out with some kind of mayhem. It is usually some kind of pandemonium that the world has created. Humanity does a fantastic job of creating conflict and chaos. We are experts at it. But, every testimony I hear eventually comes around to the phrase: "But then God stepped in..."... Continue Reading →

A Fierce-Hearted Woman

I think this quarantine has had various effects on everybody's mental health. Some are feeling anxious. Some are feeling despondent. Some are feeling frustrated. Some, like me, haven't really had that much change in their lives. I'm still working, I was going to school (now graduated from my master's program), and now I'm still studying... Continue Reading →

Normally I dislike broadcasting anything about my illnesses - unless it's to raise awareness or spread some education around. I guess, since I... Continue Reading →

The Forgotten Definition of Love

Oh how this world is filled with love. You've seen the hashtags, one of the most popular being #lovewins. People have so many arguments for letting love trump hate and all of that jazz. And, in some ways, yes, reaching out to people with love is the correct way to do things. But, somehow, this world... Continue Reading →

Liberation

According to Google, the word "liberation" means: the act of setting someone free from imprisonment, slavery, or oppression; release. I never truly understood the meaning of that word, until I did. I mean, sure, I knew what it implied. When you go to church, the pastor always talks about "liberation." Maybe you're used to a... Continue Reading →
