“He leads me beside quiet waters; He refreshes my soul”

The existence of hardships and battles in life is indubitable, and yet sometimes the only choice we have is to face them anyway. Personally, I clung to this symbol to remind myself that regardless of what may come, I will choose to live. After that comes the next story.
Selah (pause) + Semicolon (continue)
In summation, this blog is a museum of collected thoughts and reveries mused by the pauses and interludes of my life. These reflections traverse me into a deeper understanding of what is life. As I reconnect with the Creator and Author of my life, I gain knowledge of my truest identity, peace to embrace what is to come, and courage to continue despite the vast uncertainty. My desire is to share this experience through writing and inspire as many indeed, to always take a step forward and find love and happiness along the way.
