WIFE. MAMA. FRIEND. BELIEVER.
“Marriage is NOT the goal; it is not the finish line. It is simply an avenue that GOD uses for some of us––not all of us––to continue unveiling the work He’s already been performing in us. Our womanhood does not begin nor end with the institution of marriage; it is simply being transformed.”

You know the part where we play pretend…the part where we pretend that we’re really confident in ourselves…
As I continue to journey through adulthood, there’s one lesson that has presented itself to me more times than I’d like to admit: EVERYBODY CAN’T GO WITH YOU.
Oftentimes, birthing a human being happens Slowly and Surely. It takes time.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this season of my life as a newlywed and soon-to-be new mama it’s that your relationships will change. To be honest, they have to change.
Pregnancy is one of the most joyous times any woman can experience…but it can also be one of the most darkest.

An amazing man proposed to me in front of the most beautiful view…and it was PERFECT. But less than 24 hours later, I found myself driving down Route 13 back to my apartment in Salisbury…and I sobbed.
2020 part one was pretty ghetto for us all. And by the looks of caucasity and the audacity of caucasity in just the first few weeks of the new year, 2021 is already off to a pretty interesting & tumultuous start. BUT, there is still cause for us to make space to celebrate.

I came home from work one day, looked at myself in the mirror and was like, “WOW. She’s fire; she deserves amazing things!” So I put on a sexy playlist, poured myself a glass of wine, began parading my still fully clothed self around my apartment…and then I felt shame.
During one of the first in depth conversations Neil and I had before we starting dating, he shared that he was a virgin. Not too long after, shame and insecurity started to plague me…because I’m not.
When I began having sex, I was scared out of my mind. Like most of you, I was told a lot in church, "Don't have sex before you're married!" Never really was told the why (PROBLEM!), so when I "did it," I swore I was going to catch all of GOD's wrath in the form of an STD or an unplanned pregnancy.
Isn't it rather odd that the church runs from conversations about what it means to be a sexual being and sexuality when the GOD we praise created us in His image–meaning that sexuality and sexual desires were originally created by GOD?
I’m juggling a new circus act called, “My Life” right now, and, currently, one of the things falling through the cracks: one-on-one time with my husband.
