Bloom in Journey

False: I need to Know

We all have to fight the human desire “ to want to be like God”. Satan convinced Adam and Eve that eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil would make them like God. They would know good and evil. The deception there was that Adam and Eve were already…

Divine Exchange

I’ve been thinking a lot about the sacrifice that Jesus made for us. The cost He paid so that we can have relationship with God, our Father. This leads me to think about the choices I make. Whether those choices are worthy of the sacrifice Jesus made for me. While salvation is a gift, it’s…

The Blank Canvas

June 18,2019 Today is my husbands birthday!!! Happy birthday babe!!! We went to a “ Paint and Sip” event yesterday and we both had a great time! We both sat in-front of a blank canvas. Below the easel was a dish with different color paint. On the left hand side was a bowl of water…

We Are Free

I’ve been thinking about freedom since Sunday. Thinking about what it means to be free. What does being free look like? And asking myself am I free? I was apprehensive about sharing this song because honestly I don’t have anything deep to say. But what I can say is I Am FREE in JESUS CHRIST….

Take Courage

So along my journey I am compelled to share my experiences. Whether they are triumphant or disastrous. Let’s start from the beginning: Heads up…….

Let’s help to Rebuild

Reflecting on Resurrection Sunday

Yesterday was Resurrection Sunday. A day where we recognize Jesus’ resurrection from the dead… personally I’m not a big fan of ” Easter” but I’m a huge fan of Jesus! So I choose to acknowledge His resurrection not just on a designated day but everyday. At most churches “Easter Sunday” is a production. It’s one…

Learning to Lean

Preface : I wrote this while I was in New Jersey. I was having some difficultly writing. I’m not sure why maybe the change in environment. But one morning while strolling through my notes I found this observation that I wrote in February. After reading the note the writing flowed. Here is the note: I…
