I have prayed for companionship And my life’s true love. I have been forever seeking For that special soul to love. An emptiness I have always felt That has longed to be fulfilled. Worldly treasures, earthly gain Could never satisfy the lonely pain. It has taken much to realize That the very one I sought, […]

Remember Jesus
If ever I grow weary With the weight of my load May I remember Jesus Who carried His cross alone. If ever I am fearful Of all that lay ahead May I remember Jesus Praying in the garden instead. If ever I am rejected By family, friend or foe May I remember Jesus He was […]

Where Is God When It Hurts?
I am being abused and I wonder where He is. He is being whipped and nailed for sins He didn’t commit. I am sinful and worldly, will He accept me? He waits with forgiveness, I need only confess thee. I am angry and hateful, where could God be? He is seeing my faults, yet has […]

The Gardener
My child, I know your grief Your every burden I share; I know how you are tested Afflictions do not seem fair. At times you fear My indifference To all affecting thee; But know your pain and suffering Are of deep concern to Me. My child, I have a purpose In all that I allow; […]

To Live As I Pray
I bowed my head and knelt to pray, “Lord, bless everyone on this fine day. Please help others to do your will Let them know your love is real. Please heal the sick, feed the poor Give comfort and peace, I beg, forlorn.” Then I rose to seize the day In this secular world, gone […]

The Simplicity of Gratitude
Tears of gratitude I might convey For the smallest blessings That come my way. Life’s little treasures That surprise and unfold Giving us pleasures Richer than gold.

To Commit a Sin
Every time I commit a sin I bury the whip into His flesh. From those stripes, His blood is shed Hoping I will submit. I swing the hammer with such force The nails pierce His hands and feet His blood pours out to cover my sin A Lamb is slaughtered on Calvary.

I Beseech You, Lord
Take me, break me and make me, dear Lord Just what You want me to be. For, I thought I knew best, but life is a mess Bestow mercy and grace upon me. Help me discover how easy it is To be selfishly lost in my pride. Uncover weakness and greed in me So, I […]

Choices
Those traumas I’ve faced have not been easy I’ve often questioned their value in tears But it was allowed to shape my character So that into my life He could appear. I will not harbor anger or resentment Nor do I have a need for revenge For God has kept a record of every wrong […]

I Am Not A Victim, I Am A Survivor!
First and foremost, I will have you know that I am a survivor and a Christian. Secondly, I will share that I have been a victim of most types of abuse: childhood abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, spouse abuse, religious abuse, criminal abuse and even self abuse. The icing on the cake was being […]

Set it Free, This Child in Me…
I want to sing and dance with my arms lifted high Grow a set of wings and soar into the sky. Splash in a puddle, catch raindrops on my tongue A chance to live the childhood, Satan robbed me of. I want to remain innocent, always believing Never afraid, to show what I am feeling. […]

Changes (contradictory)
My biggest battle comes from within I must sort my emotions and deal with them. My biggest fear, I see in the mirror An empty soul that has never learned to grow.
I am a Christian, a survivor of abuse, and a voice for the victims. A poet, author, speaker, and photographer. This is my story...
