Our prayer group does this thing we call ‘Testimony Tuesday’. You can share. Or not. This was one of my testimonies. I freaked out a little. I’m a year older.

Once there was Darkness
Chapter 17 Part 3 “We have two soldiers out there.” Frego sighed. “Why?” “One of them is the man that grabbed your hand.” Kessa answered. Kol walked away.

Lead Me.

Chapter 17 Part 2 They finished their meal in silence. Once they were done, spoons down; Max and Frego walked toward them. Max spoke. “Everyone has had their fill and we have food left.” Frego continued, “the temple doesn’t need it.” Kessa smiled, “let’s take it to the wall.” As she stood, she said toContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Time to start livin’
A very wise friend told me recently, “time to start living’”. I’ve thought a lot about his words. Other people around me are ‘busy living’, doing things they feel called or led to do. Things they find fun. Or simply things they just want to learn how to do. And not necessarily from Youtube. I’mContinue reading “Time to start livin’”

Chapter 17 Part 1 Kol and General Marcus finished military accounts. Kohl’s head was hurting. The sound of Marcus’s voice felt like a dart through his brain.

With hisContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
God, Chico and Me
I’ve come to the realization that I’m going to be alone the rest of my life. Every now and then, this will cause me strife. I have been alone far too long. I don’t know if someone else can sing my song. Someone else’s song, could I learn? Each others life, we could upturn. ItContinue reading “God, Chico and Me”
Once there was Darkness
Chapter 16 Part 2 Kol woke to the sound of a slamming door. He was sitting in a chair, his head on her shoulder and she was on a table.

Once there was Darkness
Chapter 16 Part 1 Kol absent mindedly walked through the palace. His fingers rubbing the medallion. He hadn’t gotten the chance to talk to Kessa anymore about the dreams that upset him. She wasn’t right. He worried about her. How stupid was he? He also needed to explore the unexpected kiss. How could he beContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
