As a child and teenager that felt like no one noticed me, I sought attention in any form. I lived for the shock factor. I have some crazy stories of things I did for attention. I was good at getting others to notice me, except the ones that I wanted attention from. However, through all... Continue Reading →
Testimony of Truth
Growing up in a home where secrets were a way of life, I value the truth more than anything. I would rather hear and speak the ugly truth than hear or tell a colorful, well formed lie. I realize that much of my life was shaped by lies. Not ones that were necessarily spoken but unspoken... Continue Reading →
Tearing down idols
I have a distorted image of what an idol is. I think of the Buddah with the belly that you rub for good luck. I think of teenage girls swarming some popular singer or actor that is the next big thing. I think of people praying to images, the sun, the moon, etc. I think... Continue Reading →

Grateful {#Tuesday@Ten}
Grateful, the word always reminds me of Thanksgiving, only a more common, everyday kind of thanks. I have so many things in my life to give thanks.

Seek {#Tuesday@Ten}
I often talk about my past matter of factually. I realized earlier this year that I have processed the events of my past, but never the emotions.
