The Desert

The Desert is 40 poems, encouraging us to continuously speak words of life loudly, hearing what we are storing inside our hearts and our minds. In Light of self-hating and self-deprecating, our soul is merging with our Spirit; we are desperately crying out to God.

Seeking God inside our hearts and behind our eyes. We are most powerful choosing to love. We are unbreakable because God is Loving. Seeking refuge in Christ. Speaking Life. Praying for us re-discovering Joy from the Holy One.

Inside this book are words I hid in my heart until I matured. The difficulties of my life directed me to choose words carefully. When I humbled my pride, I continued to speak three words out loud – "Thank You, God" – Water inundated my soul.

I endured the last season of unrest, disembodiment, persecution, and hopelessness; in silence, I pursued God wholeheartedly, and I prayed these words to uplift our Spirit and water our hearts:

"We are, made, whole.
Speak Life."
