LET ME EXPLAIN

explain

It’s not something you just know, or feel automatically.

You don’t know its there till you’re calling a friend at 3 in the morning, on the verge of tears.

She asks you what’s wrong, sensing something the moment you say hello.

It’s nothing you say, hoping the louder and more confidently you say it, the less real it will become.

How do you explain to someone that school’s great, family’s great, hell life’s pretty dang great, but something else, small but present is building within you.

 

You refuse to say it because voicing it, saying it out loud might make it that much realer.

But what if voicing it saves you.

What if explaining the broken pieces within you brings them back together again.

So, after the third nudge from your friend you realize it’s time.

Time to save you.

With a voice just barely above a whisper, you sigh and mumble,

“Let me explain.”

MORE JESUS IN JULY SERIES: THE FINAL HOORAH OR IS IT?

final hoorah

Happy Sunday babes.

Did someone say something about a final hoorah? I can’t believe the last Sunday in July is finally here. It feels like just yesterday, I was introducing you guys to the series. Since then, I have spent weeks sharing my faith with you guys and I have loved every single minute of it. Reconnecting with my faith has been so monumental for me in my walk with Christ. I can only hope that as much as I have benefited, y’all have as well.

STORYTIME WITH THELMS: FIRST DATE BLUES

first date

Hi babes! Happy freaking Thursday!

I’m over enthused (if you couldn’t tell), but that’s because it’s pretty much the weekend! Well at least for me it is. I don’t have class on Fridays, so I look at Thursdays as the official start to my weekend.

Before kicking back in bed and savoring the idea that I’m not waking up at the crack of ass for school, I decided to do a little story time with you babes tonight.

MORE JESUS IN JULY SERIES: WEEK FOUR

Christ

It’s another Sunday in July babes, so I’m sure you know that means. Another entry in the More Jesus in July series, chatting about Christ, is what it means. As always, sharing new bible verses and their relevancy has been amazing. It’s presented me with the opportunity to dive deeper into the word and truly breakdown scriptures and the stories behind them. If you haven’t been able to check out the series, there’s still time! The last entry in this series is next week, so before it all comes to a close, catch up. Read up here, where it all started before next week’s final entry in the series.
