Its been a while since Ive written from a heart place. Its been a while since Ive written from a healing place. Its been a while since Ive written from a convicted place. Its been a while since Ive written from an awareness place. Its been a while since Ive written from a place of pain. Its been a while since Ive written.... Its been a while....
The past year has been full speed ahead as Ive moved to a different part of town, planned my first funeral, my baby sister graduated college, was asked to spend the rest of my life with someone (Im engaged!), and found out that I will be an Aunt (to Caleel!). As these life changing events have happened I feel like I am living a future manuscript while having no time to transcribe.
I am stronger. I am wiser. I am better. So much better. Writing has always been a natural fit for me yet my most moving pieces came from a dark place. Theres been so much light in my life I believe the ink in my pen has dried up. Although my story will always be my story, I will forever have a perspective/opinion, my heavenly conversations will remain epic, I will go ahead and live out this new chapter while understanding at any moment 'life' will hand me another pen.
I am grateful that the girl they said would never get married....IS
The girl they said would be defined by her family role....ISNT
The girl they said was stained.....ISNT
The girl they said would never be free...IS
The girl they said...
The girl they said...
That girl is grateful that not only was she able to beat all odds but that she was able to overcome the fears that bound her.
For the first time in my life I am always in expectation to have my mind blown in miraculous ways. There was a time I would be content just accepting the crumbs from the table. Is this the Greater Latter that was promised?! I guess we will have to see...or be prepared to read.lol.
