You might think Oswald is exploiting Jacqueline... but if you actually met her, you'd find out the whole thing was her idea (¬‿¬)

Jacqueline isn't shy when posing for pictures to promote her shows... though it's understandable if some forget she's a singer and not just eye candy (¬‿¬)

Within the Iceberg Lounge, Oswald is often seen with his newest favorite ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Due to Jacqueline's promotional material, the Lounge has a significantly bigger guest list💖

Sometimes you learn the best lessons by not saying a word. #Poetry #Poem #JacquelineSimoneSadberry #JacquelineSimone https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Qz2dvgaOF/?igshid=1rq9fjika0m9s

Woke up at the crack of dawn feeling inspired. It's strange because this isn't the first time I've had a dream inspired poem. --- There are times I have dreams that make me think, "That would make for a really great story" or "I could definitely see that becoming a movie someday." However, writing it all up as a short story would take me too long and I'd most likely forget. With poems, it somehow preserves the imagery while freely allowing me to pin down my jumbled thoughts before I completely forget what I dreamed about. --- It was interesting because I thought it was just another strange dream until I got to the end of this poem and realized it truly is about the struggles of life. The pains we go through, the adversity we face, not exactly ideal situations... and all the things we still have to deal with on top of that... --- But if we can hang on for just one more day, if we can tell ourselves to keep going in spite of... then victory is always sure to follow. --- Don't go back. Keep moving forward. Choose to see the good that is happening within yourself and in your life despite the evil and death that may seemingly surround you every day. We don't know when our stories will end, how they will end. Only that someday they will. We do, however, get to choose how we see all of it. --- I choose to see hope even when the world titles my story hopeless because they didn't write my story. God did, and that of itself, is reason enough for me to have hope. #Snippet #Poem #Poetry #JacquelineSimone #JacquelineSimoneSadberry https://www.instagram.com/p/B5xZq8SAmef/?igshid=evj9ki9klqrc

#Snippet 2 of 2 --- I have spent a lot of time being angry, "If I'm so talented, why I can't I get a job?" "I'd have a job if I were selling copies of my book every day." "If had more sales I wouldn't be in debt." "My life is a mess...I may as well just give up. This is the best I'll ever be able to do." --- I spend so much time being angry, depressed, discouraged, bitter, unhappy... but very little time doing anything to change it. God can literally snap His fingers--or rather, SPEAK THE WORDS and my situation would change in an instant. But I wouldn't learn anything and I wouldn't grow at all... --- Sometimes, whether you like it or not, you are going to have some of the worst and ugliest seasons of your life. You will feel angry, and maybe even disgusted, with the circumstances you are faced with. Pretending like you're okay with everything while false-hoping God is going to turn it around is not how you handle it. Embrace that anger. It's okay to be angry, to tell Him it's not fair. --- Because honestly, it's when you confront the anger and the pain you feel that Jesus begins to work. It's hard to treat someone who refuses to acknowledge they're in pain. And once you acknowledge your feelings, then is when hope comes alive. In the midst of the very real emotions you feel, you aren't blinded by the lies anymore. You can see things for what they are, and in that place is where hope lives. --- I FEEL like the odds are against me. I FEEL like nothing is in my favor right now, so why do anything? I FEEL like I am never going to win, but I cannot deny the evidence in my life that shows otherwise. I cannot deny the fact that it could be so much worse, should be worse, yet here I am. Struggling, but still here and far better off than where I used to be. I can't help BUT have hope. --- Walk in victory today. Know that YOU ARE a winner, no matter what. #JacquelineSimone #JacquelineSimoneSadberry #Poetry #Poem #NaNoWriMo https://www.instagram.com/p/B42zi8vg45C/?igshid=6umbobl4mutn

#Snippet 1 of 2 --- You are hurting yourself, and allowing others to suffer without hope, when you choose to do nothing. Every time you sit on your gift, you miss a chance to truly change someone's life. --- Don't miss that chance again. #JacquelineSimone #JacquelineSimoneSadberry #Poetry #Poem #NaNoWriMo https://www.instagram.com/p/B42xcWxgfI1/?igshid=15m9552es62dp
