Slaying Giants

Last week stretched long—
a battlefield of hours,
thick with pressure,
air heavy with the smoke of striving souls
running on what little breath remained.


It felt like everything was closing in,
like unseen hands were reaching—
but I remembered:

This fight was never flesh and blood.


So I reached inward,
past the noise,
past the weariness,
and found that ancient courage rising—
the quiet defiance of David.


Not by sword.
Not by strength.
But in the name of the Lord.


Every force that tried to take hold of me,
I met it with truth.
Every whisper, every weight—
answered with His Word,
spoken boldly into the unseen.


And with each wave of resistance,
my prayer deepened, sharpened, simplified:

Lord, abide in me.


Stay closer than the chaos.
Hold me above what seeks to pull me under.
Do not let me drown
in what was never meant to carry me.


And He did.

Faithfully.
Gently.
Powerfully.


Where old thoughts once lingered,
worship took their place.


What once demanded my attention
couldn’t even echo long enough to matter.


The grip of attachment—
forever broken.


Gone without closure—

Cause closure was no longer necessary.


My focus lifted.
My words followed.
My spirit grew lighter
as if heaven itself had shifted my posture.


No more sitting in heaviness.
No more entertaining distractions
disguised as significance.


There is something about freedom—
real, God-breathed freedom—
that doesn’t just release you…

it calls you higher.


And once you hear that call,
you cannot stay where you were.


Because the giants were 

never just in front of me—
some lived in my thoughts,
my habits,
my silence.


And one by one, they fell.


Not with noise,
not with spectacle—
but with surrender.


And in their place stood something 

quieter,
stronger,
unshakable:

A soul that finally knows
it was never meant to fight alone…
and never will again.


“Nevertheless, though we walk encompassed with the flesh, 

we do not war after the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal things, but things mighty in God to cast down strongholds, with which we overthrow imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bring into captivity all understanding to the obedience of Christ” —2 Cor 10:3-5

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 ...
