“Moving on Faith”


A mind like mine lingers too long, perhaps—in its own chambers.

Mapping unseen routes,
sketching futures,
rehearsing outcomes
before breath ever meets action.


I measure distance
not in miles,
but in the space between
what was
and what could be.


And somewhere between
here and there,
silence arrives—
disguised as sanctuary.


But silence can fracture.
It can splinter into stillness
that is not rest,
but retreat.


Limbs grow heavy there—
not from peace,
but from pause overstayed.


Limbs that slacken,
that soften,
that surrender not to God,
but to avoidance.


Refusing motion
when tension thickens,
when conviction calls,
when obedience costs.


Caught in the quiet—
that subtle snare
where comfort mimics peace
and hesitation wears holy clothes.


Yielded to approval,
yet drifting from alignment.


Listen—

not all “silence” is sacred.


In fact some silence is…

misaligned 

misplaced 

misappropriation. 


Do not let disobedience become 

familiar enough to
quiet your voice,
dim your faith,
or fracture your peace.


Because what you refuse to move in
will begin to bury you in place.


And what you will not say,
will echo anyway—
in missed callings,
in delayed obedience,
in the slow erosion of 

who you were meant to be.


So rise—
even if your voice trembles.


Move—
even if your steps resist.


Better a trembling obedience
than a silence that 

buries your purpose 

while you’re still breathing.

Broken Covenant

Once upon a time— I wanted to believe something was real so desperately that I silenced the Spirit within me just to keep the illusion alive. I saw every red flag— not as warnings, but as tests of how much  I was willing to endure to feel chosen. I asked no questions because truth was already whispering, and I feared what obedience would cost me. So I made a covenant with denial— calling lies “grace,” and confusion “patience,” because the truth felt too vast, too holy, too disruptive to the future I had built in my mind. I clung to potential like it was promise, and mistook absence for peace. Yet the weight of it— this thing I called love— crushed my spirit daily. Still, desperation dressed itself as loyalty and convinced me to stay. And it didn’t get better. It decayed. Quietly at first… then unmistakably. Each time God unveiled truth, I chose the comfort of shadows over the calling of light. I pleaded. I prayed. I begged— not for revelation, but for permission to remain where I w...

From Chaos to Calm

After a while… the need to be heard at full volume begins to dissolve. The rooftops grow silent. The flames you once fed with trembling hands no longer feel like power— only exhaustion. What you burned never built a home. And somewhere along the way, you realize— not every echo returns, not every seed takes root, not every mountain was yours to climb. The grace you poured out like water in a desert, the love you offered with open, unguarded hands— it did not come back the way you imagined. And still… you are here. So instead of fighting what refuses to bend, you loosen your grip. Not in defeat— but in awakening. You release the need to be answered, to be chosen, to be understood by those who never learned your language. Your hands, once reaching outward, begin to rise— not in desperation, but in devotion. Upward. Open. Steady. God… I see You now in the quiet I once avoided. I hear You not in the thunder— but in the space where my striving used to live. And I am ready. Something within ...

Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)

What unsettles me most about some people is not the harm they cause— but the silence that follows it. No conviction. No trembling. No evidence that a soul was ever stirred. As if something sacred once lived there… and quietly left. What remains is form without fire. A body that breathes, but does not  feel . A Walking corpse. Spiritually vacant,  yet socially skilled— fluent in imitation, but foreign to truth. They move through people like weather— touching everything, anchoring nowhere. I once mistook that emptiness for mystery. Confused detachment with depth. Thought restraint was discipline, when it was really disconnection. But there was  no rootedness in him— only appetite. An endless hunger dressed as desire. A man grazing on bodies, scrolling through souls like they were disposable moments. Not searching. Not building. Just consuming— to quiet something unnamed within him. Unhealed wounds don’t stay still. They wander. From bed to bed, from face to face, from high ...
