God's Little Treasures

During the darkest moments in life God placed a camera in my hands to focus in on what really matters. Now I'm capturing his treasures while traveling the country doing presentations for youth and young adults on social change and healthy decisions making. 10 months on the road means a lot of photos and lessons learned. Photography is God's way of allowing us to photography his master pieces for the world to see.

Love & Libraries [Poetry Series]

Photo by Ricky Esquivel on Pexels.com The library carries such a sweet, delicate sound. One that has given me sweet peace when my world often feels so loud. The library carries power, yet many haven’t taken the time to unfold the hidden gems the library holds. While you can borrow many things, the knowledge is yours. The library feels hidden, although in plain sight, but with eyes for…

Paper + Pen God's Very Gift To Me

Five-year-old me could be found during playtime, writing stories. I believe I was destined to be a writer at a very young age. God’s very gift to me was paper and pen. Writing saved my life; it safely released the toxin inside of me. At 34 years old, I’m never without a notebook. Writing allows me to completely undress emotions and connect with the rawness often left unchecked. When paper…

March Whispers: The Season Of Whispers

March Whispers: The Season Of Whispers

Everything in the world is LOUD but there you are whispering because you are not like the world. I believe you are in the whispers in this season so we can turn everything down and hear the true sounds. In order to hear someone whisper you must pay close attention. We must remove the everyday idols that pretend to be top priority. Or the loud sounds that demand everything RIGHT NOW. Your whispers…

Overcoming Daddy Issues & Receiving God As A Loving Father

The challenge of seeing God and trusting him as a father has been like a tiny crack in a windshield for years for me. It seems minor until storms and bumpy roads come along and then you’re surrounded by shattered glass. (more…)

Healing From Childhood Rejection

Healing From Childhood Rejection

Two symmetrical puffy pigtails hanging upside down. Wrapping my string bean legs around the light green rusty monkey bars felt so daring.  I felt like I was on top of the world.  But; always brought back down with the overwhelming feelings of not making friends. I looked like my peers, talked like my peers but; I couldn’t connect with my peers. (more…)

Drinking From The Well Monthly Devotional: From PremadeWorship to Homemade Worship

You ever eat something premade and you know it tastes better homemade but; it’s convenient to pick it up to keep moving? Sometimes we have the same approach with worshipping God. We just turn on Youtube and start singing. But what if we made homemade worship? Kind of like finding your own words to express your love for God. Picking the melody and flow.

Drinking From The Well Devotional (I'm Not 100% Okay)

Drinking From The Well Devotional (I’m Not 100% Okay)

I wouldn’t say it was the project I was trying to finish before New Year’s welcomed its self in; which led to the emotional breakdown. It was a snowball effect building its strength to roll down the hill. The snow started with the passing of my adoptive Father who molested me for many years . I became emotionally numb, I wasn’t sure if I was happy or sad, Witnessing first-hand the day to day…
