Maybe I shouldn’t write this down. Maybe I am the one being judgmental. Am I looking at this wrong, Lord? And why does this matter so much to me? Why do I allow this to affect me? Why can’t I just let this go? (more…)
Flooded with emotions of pain and anguish all I wanted to do was cry for hours. But crying is something I don’t do much anymore. My wounded heart would become beyond exposed. (more…)
As a child I use to get lost in my thoughts when given the opportunity to be left alone. Being one of many children there were few times when I was afforded the alone time.
