My heart aches for he who is lost And he sees no reason for faith at all Lost in the wilderness When there are clearly directions Guiding to the path of righteousness When I have troubles I seek His face When he has troubles he seeks himself His broken heart and broken soul Longing … Continue reading Lost_Found

Happily Ever After
I see a tent in a forest, enclosed by trees and greenery. Inside a happy couple: the woman in a white lace layered dress and earth-toned flower crown. The man looking sharp in his black and white tux and brown shoes. Their eyes gleaming as they look at one another declaring their love in front … Continue reading Happily Ever After

When has our generation of parents become so disconnected to their children? I'll tell you when. Since social media became so big, … Continue reading The Technology Effect
Why I Cut My Hair
For those of you who know me pretty well, cutting my hair was not even a thought. I loved my hair: it was long, thick, luscious, and generally speaking, gorgeous. I moved to a town two and a half hours away from my previous home where I was known among friends as the shy girl, … Continue reading Why I Cut My Hair
