I remember the first time I stepped foot inside of the little church. I was eleven, extremely shy, irritable, and angry with humanity. My family and I were moving from Springfield and we were checking out possible places to live. KC was one of them. Turns out that’s where we moved. Oasis church treated us … Continue reading My Oasis

You matter
There was a time when I wondered, " If I died today, would anyone care? Would anyone notice? Would anyone be sad?" You have or do probably wonder the same thing. It is so easy to forget the worth that we have and to focus only on our flaws and mistakes. We lose sight of … Continue reading You matter
Lies of Personal Truth
Truth is whatever we want it to be. Your truth might be different than mine, but who cares? We’re both right and if you say otherwise, you are a judgmental idiot. Total truth does not exist. That’s what our society tells us. From movies to books to friends, we hear it played over and over … Continue reading Lies of Personal Truth
Island of Misfits
I was born marred. The hideous scar on my right cheek defined my destiny. As soon as my mother saw it, she abandoned me. She left me, a helpless baby, to fend for myself in a world that hated me for something that I did not choose. Many who saw me screamed in horror and … Continue reading Island of Misfits
In Bondage To Numbers
I hesitate to write this post because it’s a topic that I’m very sensitive about. I don’t like talking about it, I don’t like that my friends have to deal with it and I’d completely avoid it if I could. But I can’t. Because it’s an important subject that has to be talked about. *deep … Continue reading In Bondage To Numbers
To the misfits, the outcasts, the broken and the scarred
You’re lonely in a room full of people. You watch companionship from a distance and feel empty arms embrace you. Sometimes a single tear, sometimes a torrent, rushes down your hallow cheeks and stings your bruised lips. As you walk by rows of perfect people, you hang your head but still feel their stinging eyes … Continue reading To the misfits, the outcasts, the broken and the scarred
The Pained
Once upon a time, I took a walk. I was restless and searching for something – I didn’t know what. A few minutes from my house, I passed an old man. His right hand trembled. His left never stopped stroking the simple golden ring on his finger. His grey hair hid most of his face, … Continue reading The Pained
2020 – A Year Of Hope
Photo by icon0.com on Pexels.com Last year, just before the New Year, I wrote a blog post called 2020 – My New Year’s Hope. It was hard to publish because it was very raw, honest and real. 2019 had been a really tough year. I was struggling with a lot of things. Among them was … Continue reading 2020 – A Year Of Hope
What Was Meant For Evil, God Used For Good
Photo by FlorS Q on Pexels.com A couple weeks ago, we went to church for the first time since everything was shut down due to Covid. As we were leaving, I stepped out into the parking lot and realized that so much had changed since last fall. No one expected 2020 to go the way … Continue reading What Was Meant For Evil, God Used For Good

Who I Am
I was scanning through old unpublished blog posts earlier, and I came across one that I had written sometime in the middle of 2019. In it, I had three bullet points. #1: I’m imperfect. #2: I’m ashamed. #3: Wondering where it left me. Honestly, I was out of hope, out of answers and just plain … Continue reading Who I Am
Every Life Matters
I believe full heartedly that life begins at the moment of conception. The moment a child is conceived, a human being has been added to the world. I don’t agree with people who say that it is simply a mass of cells until it reaches a certain point, and then it can be considered a … Continue reading Every Life Matters
Dear Self, Keep Writing
Photo by JESHOOTS.com on Pexels.com The teen with a mop of un-brushed hair and a chocolate smear on her cheek was lying on her bedroom floor. Her hands on the computer in front of her but her fingers were still. Sleep-deprived eyes roved the screen and disgust was plain on her face. “Hopeless.” She declared … Continue reading Dear Self, Keep Writing
