Isn't funny how the devil chimes in on our lives right at the perfect moments? Almost as if he was waiting for you to finally get back up on your feet, just to knock you down again. Yep, he's a great guy. I am having one of those days 👎🏻 . I am SO happy to say I am playing my first show back in over year this month... with this comes many nerves & emotions, but mostly joy due to the fact I am once again pursuing my dreams! However, the devil saw this, and chose to throw a shame bomb on me the past couple days. I have been walking around with a metaphorical bag over my head that says "broken". This is how I feel-- and it's affecting my voice once more. My music + soul are finally tuned together, so when I am feeling horrible, it is hard for me to perform musically as if I am okay; because I simply am not. I wish it wasn't like this, but my relationship with my music has changed drastically since I've began the process of healing. . I got off a phone call with a dear friend who spoke over my life so eloquently & truthfully. She told me not to allow the negative things that are said to me become my authority; they have no power over my life. That is SO hard to do when the devil uses people you love to cause you pain-- but this is a new concept I am choosing to put into motion. So Mr.devil, HELL-TO-THE-NO. You have absolutely NO power over me and my precious soul. I am confident and conceded by the power of God's love. You will NOT stand between me & what Jesus has called me to do. So get the F under my feet. RANT OVER. #iamcalledtoserve #coveredbygrace (at Franklin, Tennessee)

PURPOSE | CALLING | DESTINY. What have YOU been chosen to do? When you realise that you were not created or put on this Earth by mistake or by chance, your outlook on life becomes very different. Every inch of you was beautifully and loving crafted by God the Father himself. Your Spirit has been placed in this body with purpose in mind. Your gender, nationality, ethnicity, race, height, childhood and current situation. Even the things that you hate about yourself, those were factored in too. Weaknesses and all! You were made to impact people's lives! 'Finding Yourself' sounds cool, I definitely had that mindset at one point. However I later came to understand that I didn't create or give life to myself. Yes I have a responsibility to cultivate the life and gifts I've been given. But I don't put breath in my body everyday. So where was I going to look? I have a source. That's where I turn to now for my truth. He is where I seek direction everyday. He is where my purpose is. For he has placed all that I need within. I used to look for myself in others. Now I find myself in Jesus. Nobody has ever loved me more & nobody ever will. #thankyoulord #godthecreator #purpose #iamcalledtolove #iamcalledtoserve #iamcreative (at Leeds)
