Eyes Wide Open

Click here to see my full coming out video. I never thought I would be writing this type of blog post and yet, here I am. The video above speaks a lot for itself and I hope you take the time to watch it. (I also said I would be posting this on my birthday next week, but I felt moved to post it earlier.) I am tired of living behind a fake version of me. The one who is "straight" and is only attracted to men. I've known myself to be bisexual for quite sometime now. But I hid it from everyone and dated men publicly in an attempt to prove to myself that I wasn't different. It was only in the past year that I began to accept myself for who I am. I came out to my husband at the beginning of the month and have officially come out to y family in the past week. So, yes. I am bisexual. And I am Christian. And I am loved by a God who created me from His image. I know a lot of people won't see it that way and will argue with me. I'm sure people will be cur...

Hey friends. Sorry for not posting often. When I first started blogging, I thought that posting every week was a good thing and something I had to do. However, I have realized that I only really like to blog when I feel like all my feelings can't be spoken...when writing/typing my feelings gets them out better. So, here I am. A lot has been going on in the world, lately. And my heart hurts. Oh gracious, my heart hurts. And perhaps, I'll come back to write about what's going on and how you can help. However, today I was angry. And I've been angry for quite some time. You know, ever since the government officially shut down everything and made everyone stay at home to prevent the spread of COVID, churches have been closed. Most churches are doing online services to continue to stay connected and aren't participating in onsite services. At the time, I understood completely. I was more focused on how to stop the spread of this virus and what we needed to do to sav...

Hi friends. Sorry it's been a while. Things have gotten pretty buys around here and I haven't had time to sit and write. One of those things included taking a trip to Pennsylvania to take about 20 dogs to a rescue up there! I went with my sister-in-law and we had tons of fun. We left Friday afternoon, got there Saturday morning and then drove back and were home Sunday at midnight. It was a very tiresome trip, but fun nonetheless. Check out the video below to see highlights! So, work has obviously been very busy and so has life. But, I won't dwell on that. In fact, I'd love to sit here and talk to you all about grace. Specifically, God's grace for us. A little over a week ago, I was at my small group and we've been discussing Peter and how we can relate to him in our lives. It's already been really eye opening and I'm loving every minute of it. I've even found myself reading more about Peter outside of the Bible and learning about who he was ...

When I was little, I always had a fear of riding a bike. In fact, it took me a long time--much longer than it took my other friends---before I felt comfortable riding around the neighborhood. And all this fear was rooted in falling off that bike. I was terrified to fall off my bike and hurt myself. I had seen countless injuries from my friends, from broken bones to scraped knees. I remember my parents teaching me that I can't be scared to fall if I wanted to ride a bike. I had to learn how to fall first. So I practiced falling. Over and over again, I fell onto the grass until I felt comfortable enough to get on my bike and fall off. And what do you know...I overcame my fear and even walked away with a couple of battle scars of my own to show my friends. Our relationship with God needs to be just like this. We need to be willing to fall in order for Him to catch us.  When I first went to school in Georgia, I thought I would be safe from the world. With over 27,000 privately ...

It's me. Ya girl. I'm back to blogging, but decided to revamp my blog a bit. Don't worry, though. If you want to look back at my posts on my old blog, I'll be keeping a link for it in the sidebar. I'll probably delete it later on once I add more posts to this one. I like to look back and see how far I've come and I'll be updating some of the more important posts on this blog. So let's start with some updates: I got married in October 2018. That's right, ya girl who posted all the time about being single and break up drama is now happily married. I started a new job. My last post on the old blog talked about how stressed I was about my job at Chick-fil-a and how frustrated I was that I hadn't found a job in my field of study. Well, ya girl went and found one! I began working for the Lee County Humane Society in April of last year as an animal caretaker and I recently was promoted to Programs Assistant last month! This means I ma...
