You’ve probably have noticed I’ve been posting a lot of praise songs. The reason why is cause I’ve finally realized how important it is to praise God, especially through those dark times. Have you?

Psalm 34:5
They looked to Him and were radiant,And their faces were not ashamed. Psalms 34:5 Y’all? This verse has a powerful meaning. To many of course but to me alone? So profound. So yall know how that kid sexually assaulted me right? Well right before that happened, I remember reading this verse in a Brio magazine. […]

People wont like you
With the abuse that I received? I grew up as a huge people pleaser. Now I don’t care what people say – it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Okay yeah I heard that too. People pleasing is not a good thing. The only person you should try to please is Jesus. Facts. But I grew […]
To forgive and forget
Can someone please show me where it says in the Bible to forgive and forget? The Psalms say: As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. Psalms 103:12 But that’s talking about God forgetting our sins. Yes…. Jesus said to him, “I do not say […]
