Last night, I decided to bring in the New Year with a hot bubble bath with Epsom salt for age. While in the bath, I began to thank God for everything He has done in my life, then I found myself asking Him to give me authentic connections and a relationship. I have never felt…

This was unreal. Everything seemed to be falling into place. I went back in and waited for the test to start. The test was a piece of cake; I finished before anyone else and went home to wait for something that wasn’t supposed to happen. Deep down, I knew I would be starting school Monday.…

Well, that was it—another distraction removed from my life. That early in my walk with Christ, I had no idea that God had a plan for me, nor did I realize I couldn’t just do anything or marry anyone. I finally know this for certain: my life is not my own. While I was at…

I started at the title company shortly after getting my braces. Ahmad quickly stopped sniffing around when he saw I wasn’t budging, and the title company moved to a new location within a few months. During this time, some of the girls in the office signed up for a dating app. I signed up as…

After I was fired from the dealership but before working at the title company, there was a brief period when I didn’t have a job. I spent most of that time trying to find my way back to the Lord. I can only describe this season as being like Adam when he was cast out…

Work was a very different place. I was now hurt and paranoid. I avoided him during the workday completely. I didn’t know how this woman looked and expected her to pop up anywhere. I didn’t know a man was capable of getting married and carrying on like he never did. That week, I got roses…

During this time, I decided I wanted to move closer to the dealership. Jeremy would be moving in with his mom soon, and I wanted my daughter to be in a better school. We had a few bitter parting arguments, but there was nothing left. Our relationship couldn’t endure the loss of our child, but…

We went on like that for weeks. The dealership was like high school. I couldn’t wait to get to work. I didn’t think I would ever cross the line, but it goes to show that you don’t know what you’ll do in a situation. Nobody sets out to cheat on their spouse, but here I…
