No Looking Back/ It's Time

"I am leaving this place now
Letting go of all my fears
Saying good bye to the memories I hold dear
I can finally breathe again
It's a new day
Farewell past
As I close this chapter. . . "
-Damita Haddon, No Looking Back

It's Time

It's Time. . .

For me to focus on what lies ahead.

I admit that it's been a struggle

but I've finally found the strength.

Things happen for a reason

And while this thing seemed blurry at first,

I can see clearly now.

No longer will I question "Why?"

Or in this case, "Why not?"

I'm tired of weighing out all of the possibilities.

I can learn to forgive but unfortunately. . .

I have too GOOD of a memory to forget you or what you've done.

No, I won't be bitter;

I'll just be more cautious.

And because my Father is the King,

I'm a princess and I KNOW that I deserve better than what I (barely) received from you.

Rather than become upset about the love you never gave me,

I am becoming increasingly grateful for the love that He has ALWAYS shown.

This love has no requirements because it's unconditional.

It gives me hope, passion, and inspiration!

Because of this love, my future is looking bright and I can only imagine the great things that are coming my way!

KCC - Vertical Current's Bright Side of Midnight

*I am super late with this post but. . . better late than never ;-)* I really love good food and good music! So I love being able to combine the two- especially if I also have great company! Saturday- August 2nd was no exception! With the release of their first full-length album, Vertical Current took to the Warmdaddy's stage to celebrate! I was happy to have my girl friend/lil sis there with me! While the members of this exciting band are able to complement one another's strengths, they also bring on guests that seem to add an extra oomph to their shows! To start the night off, the audience was introduced to the group- Ode to Omni ! It was the first time that my friend and I had heard them and we were definitely impressed! Other special guests (who also appear on the album) were Chartel Findlater, Shelia Moser (aka Lee Mo), Rick Tate Jr. and El' Ahmad Barak! Bright Side of Midnight was released on July 29th and it offers 11 tracks of ama...

The Unexpected Temptation

I know. . . It's been time for me to write something new.🙈 However, coming across this video from Jackie Hill Perry to prompted me to actually get this post out. One line pierced my heart. "When you have a gift that involves words, one of the ways the enemy will tempt you is to be silent." Wow! I hone stly think silence is one of the last things that comes to mind when people think of temptation. According to Oxford Languages, the definition of temptation is the desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise. I can hear someone asking, "How can silence be wrong or unwise?" Oh. . . Hold on for just a minute and it will come together. There are times when our obedience [to speak] may be the key to someone else's blessing . Your words and actions could essentially provide healing for your brother or sister in Christ! In the book of Revelation, we read, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.....

He Was Into Me {8.18.14}

He was into me! And I thought he was fine! Tall, dark, and handsome. I smiled at the thought of him being mine. He was into me! He made me laugh and smile. Felt like I'd known him for years but it was only a short while. He was into me! We would talk for hours! I'd try to hang up the phone but it felt as if he was pulling me with superpowers. He was into me(!) but it was clear to see. . . A relationship with him just could not be. You see. . . I was into him! I mean- I was impressed! Still- something about the situation had me feeling distressed. I was into him(!) but I'd soon have to choose. And my relationship with Jesus was way too much to lose! I was into him! Yet God meant more to me. And I knew- from temptation I needed to flee. As much as I was into him. . . I'd made a vow to maintain my standards. I couldn't and won't abandon them now! Whether you're into him. Or he's into you. Here's some ...
