Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. Colossians 2:7 (NLT)
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever. -Isaiah 40:8
We are the grass and our faithfulness the flowers…
Left ’em for God cause the love of the Creator who created me is what I needed and wanted
Laughing when they worry about me being out and about “alone”
Cause who is alone?
I’m out with my everything
God
Left ’em for God
Cause I am but grass that withers and I know where I want to spend my forever

Author’s Note: My soul sisters stay sending me songs that hit me in the heart in the most divine timing. Thank you Jesus for the soul sisters. *Laughs and runs it back a third time
I call myself/my self Young Grandma now and spent hours on the phone with God these days.
Having learned the hard way that chatting it up with humans that don’t grow you or don’t even really know you is just an epic waste of time.
But many of us have had to learn this lesson.
It annoys me that people try to figure each other out via the interwebs- Peering into screens as opposed to peering into the souls of our peers, colleagues, and loved ones in real life.
I don’t freely or intimately speak with many anymore but I listen freely, offering advice only when I am asked or when I can bill one for it.
It is what it is- tired of being kind then called fake – or being stern/honest then called aggressive by people who don’t know me or themselves for that matter.
I have always appreciated quality over quantity and am absolutely blown away and grateful for the genuine God filled people that share their truths with me and allow me to share mine.
Thank you.
Thank God.
I am very much an imperfect sinner. I smiled as I wrote that.
But my brother Jesus gave me his g-pass so I’m saved. There is no sibling this loving, merciful, and forgiving.
Get to know Him.
By g-pass I mean gospel pass.
Laughs – only one I will ever need.
What is the gospel? – I was asked this question every Friday for four weeks and though I can answer the question I am not yet ready to write a succinct answer.
So I have included a link to a book that can answer that question at the end of this post.
I think of myself as a warrior – it’s more empowering then being a victim more sane then being Catwoman.
I mean I was raised by literal warriors – military soliders.
a man and a woman – a husband and a wife – a mother and a father
My parents…
It is safe to say that I have a good deal of fight in me.
God is teaching me to fight the right fights though- to come to Him first and quite often I leave the battles at His feet & He does the rest… then I can rest.
True peace that only God can give.
Rest.
My older lady best friend and my mom (former soldier) often remind me to put on the armor of God.
This I do daily.
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Ephesians 6:11
I do be. Laughs
If you can’t handle my grammar or punctuation please (kindly) get off my site.
Remember this is my sliver of the interwebs.
Transformation is the quest for this caterpillar in Christ… accepting the way God made me, repenting daily, rejecting the way the world attempts to play me – thanking the people that pay me.
Laughs.

I’m not sure what this blog is but it’s fun to write without dead lines.
I appreciate you dear readers from around the world- I see you.
I will leave you with one last scripture and links to things I dig on the inter-webs.
Peace – until next time dear reader – you are loved.
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. Psalms 143:8
A lot of times we (i) get caught up in “being better”, meeting goals, etc, etc.
Sometimes people’s criticism, critiques or perspectives of who we are distract us from that God given knowing : You are more than enough in this moment.
It is my belief and personal experience that as I release my need for approval and simply love me as is – I grow and expand.
The dark parts, the light parts, the broken parts I love them all because they were made with intention – an intention that isn’t always for other humans to understand or approve of.
I am enough.
You are too.
Please – please remember that where ever you are on your journey today and everyday you are enough.
You are enough and anything else after that is an addition.
You are enough.
You are.
I often sing the song above to myself about myself – sometimes in the mirror.
