  Dear Abba, How do you love while you're hurting? Dream bigger while you're searching? Be still while you're moving? Live together, but separate? Live in the now and accept the not yet? These questions have guided my thoughts as I embark on a poetic journey. My emotions are spilling back onto the page, revealing truths I've kept hidden for too long. The scary part is knowing that my truth might hurt those who are involved. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with these revelations once they hit the page. They say the truth hurts and sets you free, but no one ever speaks about the truth-teller and the price of her delivery! These are my stories, told for His Glory! I feel like I'm coming undone. Standing naked in the sun, light shining on my scars. I was not meant to make it this far. This pain was supposed to kill me, but thanks to my pen, I didn't die. This journey isn't just about me. It's about all of us who struggle with the complexities of life—those of us who are trying to love through pain, dream while searching, and find stillness in the midst of movement. As I continue to write, I'm reminded that truth can be a source of healing, even when painful. In these raw, honest moments, we find our deepest connections to ourselves and others. As I navigate this journey of truth-telling and healing, I realize that each of us has a story that deserves to be heard. Our scars, pain, and resilience are all part of a larger narrative that can inspire and uplift others. -Dee  If you feel moved to share your own journey, I invite you to join me in this space.

Last night, I was wide awake, unable to silence the thoughts screaming in my mind. Instead of tossing and turning, I got up and wrote a prayer to God. As I poured out my feelings, God's voice became clear. I heard Him say, "Dee, you need to get your S.H.I.T. together." After being shocked by God's potty mouth, I told God I wanted to get my S.H.I.T. together, but I was struggling with my emotions. He told me to be still, and it was in the stillness of that moment that I realized that I was not alone in this. We're all struggling with something—managing stress, staying focused, or fulfilling life and God's assignments. That's when it struck me: this isn't just my journey; it's a journey for all of us. We all need Strength, Hope, Intentions, and Tenacity if we're going to be strategically focused and genuinely attend to the things that matter in this season of our lives. And so, the 'Get Your S.H.I.T. Together' Campaign was born. With just two weeks before I return to work, I've decided that now is the perfect time to start. I'm on a mission to get my S.H.I.T. together, and I'm inviting you to join me on this journey. Let's do this together, supporting each other every step of the way. Love, Dee  Journal Questions to keep you Strategically Focused |
