She Writes Psalms.
She Writes Psalms all started with a testimony.
I found Jesus through small acts, sweet moments, shared laughs, shedding tears in my car, shooters at the bar, suicide attempts masked by smiles and silence the day after.
But I found Jesus.
No one would have ever known I was breaking, but it takes God to keep you from looking like your circumstances, your struggles, your pain.
Though, people recognize transformation. A glow in you, as you discover the glory of His name. Jesus.
In Psalms 34:5-6, the people looked to God and became radiant, they knew if they cried out, the LORD would save them, release them of their troubles. He heard them and He answered. He hears you.
Sometimes we all need a reminder that life is eternal; it is a never ending walk with Christ and let’s just say, my walk started with standing up.
But as I sat there in church one Sunday, God refilled my spirit, He said, “Child, surrender to me, lay it at my feet,” and I wept. I stained that church pew with tears of relief and allowed a cleanse to wash over me, a pure reset.
The LORD planted seeds in my valleys and proceeded to hold the watering can over my life. Once you surrender yourself and call out your sorrows to Him, you possess a radiance about yourself, knowing no matter the circumstances- God provides and protects. He does not steal from His children, He prunes purposefully.
God became my best friend.
Once I put Him at the center, everything changed.
People can take your Bible, question your faith, but they can never take what’s in your heart. To know Jesus is to know pure love.
In John 4:39, the city believed in our Father God because of the woman who testifed. I am here to testify to you.
I lived in sin or hung around sin as if it were an old best friend waiting for me to pick up the phone and call back. But sitting in shame does not prove you’re sorry. I was so comfortable with choosing sin as opposed to trusting our Savior. Comfort is the enemy.
My pain had shattered my spirit. I was crumbling under the weight. so I asked the same question everybody asks, “Why me, God?”.
I felt as if He had abandoned me, so I became an unbeliever. I had become so angry with God for what I thought He was allowing to happen in my life, so angry that I lost my faith, not just in Him, but in myself as well.
Then, God found me.
God found me in my lowest moment, He met me right where I was at.
I was beat down, invisible bruises marking my soul, I felt that He had taken so much from me already.

God worked in my life to intentionally make me uncomfortable. He did so to realign me, I was lost and looking for comfort in places that were never going to bring me stillness.
He whispers to me sometimes. At times when my spirit is weak, I hear His voice say, “Get up, you’re not done yet. My child, get up”.
God has given my life a purpose, He gives me courage to continue on days I may not want to. I wait for Him to use me in ways, but I know if He does nothing else, it is enough.
As for now, I feel that He has given me this innate gift, to write, powerfully.
God gave me the fuel to ignite a passion for writing. I have prayed over these pages and will continue to pray over anyone who reads them. I pray these words that God placed in me can find you where you’re at too.
