Our lives are a journey that we walk together not in order to become "good christian women," but rather to draw near to God so that we can reflect His light to those around us. Our stories, our paths, our dreams and our message are all unique. But we hold hands and walk boldly, fearlessly......onward...creating joy, hope, faith and peace in our wake.

Choice

You choose.
Where you are.
Who you are with.
What you think.
That IS the power.
That it is your choice to 
be wherever you are.
I stayed.
Thought I had to.
Turns out.
I made that choice.
And it was good.
For then. 
I had things to learn.
But sometimes
it didn't feel like a choice.
It's only looking back
that I see it as that.
I felt stuck.
Nowhere to go.
No family to take me.
No job.
No way to change things.
I did things along the way to survive.
But finally, even those 
couldn't help.
I need to stop allowing him
to hurt me.
For me.
And strangely,
for him.
grace.
