This month, October, we celebrated the national heroes in our island nation. The place where I took my first breath. Where my values and strength of character began to take formation. These heroes are those who sacrificed and paved the way for generations like mine. Those whose blood, sweat and tears do not go unnoticed.Continue reading “One Came Along”

I Call Him Father
What we call people is most likely hinged to our connection or relationship with them. I often read or listen to people referring to God in different ways. It is quite possible that we also speak of Him based on how we relate to Him. Because of what I’ve discovered and experienced with God, IContinue reading “I Call Him Father”
Troubled One
If impossibility was a person, many may say we’ve met. Sometimes she shows up at the most unexpected time. For many, she’s that unwelcomed visitor that comes to discourage and distract. It’s good to know there’s One who is never surprised. If we trust Him – His plans are perfect. Trust this: For I knowContinue reading “Troubled One”
Lately
Lately I’ve been missing and I know it. Writing hasn’t been taking up much space at my table these days. To be transparent, I’ve been struggling just to read posts from even some of my of my favorite bloggers. I need time to walk through and navigate this season in a healthy way. Reading andContinue reading “Lately”
You Came
“How frail is humanity! How short is life, how full of trouble! (Job 14:1) The best of us have had to walk through some tough seasons. It’s been a while since I lost someone dear to my heart.

Stretched
This school year I accepted a challenge to work with some students whose English skills are much lower than my usual group. It wasn’t what I thought it would be and I find myself being stretched. The class has students from different language backgrounds which poses a challenge all by itself. This is not myContinue reading “Stretched”
Front Seat
One of the most beautiful things about being a teacher is getting front row seats to the lives of your students. So often we get to watch this interesting cycle of life continue. We watch them flourish as they blossom into amazing humans. They then are blessed to pour into someone else and the cycleContinue reading “Front Seat”
In The Ordinary
If you have lived long enough to walk through some of life’s challenges, you may have noticed that the miracle is often in the ordinary. There are no thunderbolts or lightning. The blessing, the answer to prayer comes in the ordinary. The story is told of the Apostle Paul encountering shipwreck while being transported toContinue reading “In The Ordinary”
In My Feelings
It’s midday and I have the day off. I’m lounging on my sofa watching the trees dancing to the beat of the winds and soaking in the rain from the effects of Ms. Idalia. She’s passing by heading somewhere towards the FL gulf coast. What am I feeling right now? How am I feeling rightContinue reading “In My Feelings”
