I've spent so much of my time in fear that I wouldn't be taken seriously, wouldn't be understood, or wouldn't be respected for who I am. Thank you for teaching me that I can surround myself with people who do listen to my boundaries. I've spent even more time ashamed of the thoughts and actions that I thought were unholy, ungodly, or not what I should[...]
Introduction I have been told some pretty weird things by the church over the years of being Southern Baptist, Non-Denominational, and mentally ill.

Today, I want to talk about waiting for God's timing. I have a dream that I will be able to be a blogger, writer, singer, and so many other things as my full time job. I want to start working on that now and grow my audience and get everything finished perfectly right now but that's not really an option for me. I'm super busy with school and the show[...]
