The dawn of the day is the first appearance of light before the sunrise. The sun is coming over the horizon but its full power is not seen nor felt. Mist is a cloud or covering that lessens your ability to see. A misty dawn can be a beautiful sight because you can see there…

We now understand why we are not our true selves, its due to the fact at some point in time we left them behind. That happens in a religious setting, work setting, family setting, and always in personal spheres everywhere. Recognizing it is pretty easy especially with the help of loved ones.

You have tried to hinder my progress and you have tried to make me worldly. I am worldly enough, which is why I don’t have any room in my life for your desires to overpower those that lead me to God. You want me to do this and do that. You want me to give…

Many nights have you spent exhausted, on your knees seeking answers from above. Hours and hours of worry and distress plague your mind and heart. There is a void in your soul and it is desperate for comfort. You have put on a smile day in and day out to make sure others don’t see…

I am a weak, flawed, imperfect, messed-up young man…Is that bad? NO! I am supposed to be that way. If I were the opposite why would I ever need the grace of God? Jesus Christ would have died in vain. If I never needed to turn towards my Heavenly Father and beg for forgiveness or…
