PERHAPS i could tell you stories of sad endings and a thousand tragedies that i have been through in my short life but i will choose not to…..
i could write stories using the most complex terms and peppered with figures of speech that will make you say ” huh? what? ano daw?” like a seasoned author-or one who wants to make others think s/he is a walking thesaurus but i’d rather choose the simplest of language to express my thoughts about the most important things to me……
i could actually paint to you the raves and the angst and the struggles of my sinful heart and all the complications that comes along with being a former slave to sin but i will spare you the added heaviness to your heart-besides,most blogs are angst-ridden to last you a lifetime anyways….

and if i can be able to redirect your focus from your self and all that you think you “deserve” in this life then my blog has served its purpose- lead you to the ROCK who is higher than all of us….
