Free Your Mind & The Rest Will Follow

Free Your Mind & The Rest Will Follow  Have you ever had a conversation that gets you to thinking.......and questioning aspects of your life?  I was told the other day paraphrasing  "I don't look like the type that struggles to get up in the morning.  It seems like you just get up and go......" So I pondered  What has happened to my Get up and Go?  I used to be that girl.... up at 5am, workout, dog walked, quiet time with the Lord, lunch packed, makeup and hair, plus dinner in the slow cooker all before work! *POW*  But as of late I've been in a season where my spirit has been bruised (I refuse to say broken cause I'm not built to Break!!!)  However my scars were beginning to show more outwardly.  Running late, morning struggles, issues with my diet, trouble focusing, not wanting to even leave my house let alone my room,headaches, back aches, knee aches You Name It!!!!!!

Self- Esteem Revisited

Story Telling

When I think of someone putting their story into words, I think of someone sitting at a typewriter and typing away.......  I had a typewriter growing up and spent countless hours writing on it. Poems, stories, songs (the infamous "Please Be Mine" was penned by yours truly) . As I Purged last week I came across some of my writings........  I was instantly brought back to the exact place and time they were written even the thoughts and feelings.  One stuck out in particular.  My first spoken word piece after being saved. The Whispers...... I don't know about you but all my life there has ALWAYS been somebody whispering something!  *GEM* There will Always be someone saying something. It isn't about what they say. Its about how you react to whats being said.  So I thought I would share "The Whispers" with you all  Whisper    to   speak   with   soft,   hushed   sounds,   using   the ...
