Wherever you go…
“Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.”
-Anthony J. D’Angelo
It’s winter. I browsed my library and came upon some warm photos that helped me reminisce about Summer’s sunshine.

Worry Increases Pressure; Prayer Releases Peace
I recently read and love this saying:
“Worry increases pressure; prayer releases peace.”
A weekend in the snowkissed mountains of the Poconos brought me closer to God. I solidified my relationship with Christ through fellowship, prayer, and prayer. That’s not a typo.
People say to me, all the time, “put it in prayer.” And I began to take heed to it. I prayed for family, friends, guidance through tough situations, and the like. Yet, I was lacking something in the prayer. Thankfully, I found it during the weekend in the mountains.
In a group of young adults and a few God-loving old folks too, we asked and invited the HS (Holy Spirit) to come into our place of worship. And what a difference that makes! The HS is the guest whom the prayer party doesn’t truly get started without. The presence of the HS made my prayers feel so complete. More, I didn’t feel as if I was whining about my woes to God, but rather listening to what He had to tell me- I’m all ears.
A result of this deepened prayer and conversation with God was and is peace. Peace that I had come before Him and laid my worries at his feet and wanted nothing in return, except that His will be done in my life.

NEW YEAR, NEW BLOG (POSTS). APOLOGIES, THAT’S SUCH A CLICHÉ TITLE. UGHH.
New year, new blog because it’s the first great idea that popped into my head about an hour into the year.
Writing is kinda my thing. I internalize great things, not-so-great things, and everything else. And since these “things” ultimately must be expressed…I do best when I write.
So here goes. Like a fish to water, a bird singing it’s only song, I will write.
I’ve just decided to go with it and just write.
