The Writer Is Born
I had created a self-destructive pattern of fighting against God and blaming God for every wrong decision, person, place and thing in my life. I was over 300 lbs., battling unaddressed childhood brokenness, struggling with my recent marital break-up, homelessness, and I was completely drowning in sorrow and despair in my life. I had completely isolated myself and my children from the real world. Most days, I didn't know if I was coming or going. I was feeding my self-hatred; refusing to forgive my mother and feeling justified for the anger and rage I had against her. I was not sleeping at night, but when I manage to fall asleep, I dreamed about hundreds of snakes crawling over me. I was overeating and allowing my depression and sadness to take over my life. Each morning after taking my three beautiful kids to school, I would go home, overeat, and completely give into my depression and sadness. I was definitely not in a place where I could really see how bad my life had become. I absolutely was not able to take responsibility for myself or my shortcomings. I was too ashamed to let anyone know just how bad my circumstances actually were. My private truth was, I actually thought I was turning into my mother, who had lived her entire life battling mental illness and in the "FOG" of her addictions. BUT GOD!!! BUT GOD HAD A DIFFERENT PLAN FOR MY LIFE, THAT I WAS THROWING AWAY. I WAS ON A SLOW SUICIDE MISSION. One morning, by the PROVIDENCE OF GOD; after dropping my three beautiful children off to school, I went inside a McDonald's, got a cup of coffee, sat down and pulled out a composition notebook and started to write a prayer to God.

Driving and Traveling is my Guilty Pleasure
Everyone has their guilty pleasures. You know, those things that you enjoy, because they give you pleasure. As you read, just think and remember how they bring a smile to your face and excitement to your heart. Guilty pleasures give you a sense of unspeakable joy, pleasure, peace and happiness. That's exactly what driving and traveling does for me. Driving and traveling is my guilty pleasure. Driving and traveling is simply therapeutic for me. I love everything about driving and traveling. I love the road-trip planning process. I love the tranquility of the road. I love the quietness of my millions of thoughts. I love the long hours to pray, think, meditate and listen to my bible. I love when it's music time and I am free to listen to Gospel, Jazz, Country, R&B, and Light Rock music. Driving and traveling gives me a euphoria and peace that is therapeutic for me.

The Decision
The Decision
I had always prayed, but I had never taken the time to write my prayers in a prayer journal. After my first day of writing and praying in my prayer journal, I noticed that I felt calmer, less foggy, less stressed, but much more relieved. I realized that God must have been sending me that divine intervention that I had prayed so long for. Right then, I EMBRACED MY JOURNEY, because it gave me instant relief. I made the commitment to make this writing prayers a daily practice. I noticed that the more I prayed and the more I wrote, the more peace, calmness, focus and relief I received. The more I prayed about my childhood pain, the more I realized that I had not addressed any of my brokenness. I also realized that my past pain did not seem so scary. My snake dreams went away and I found myself sleeping, again. God was giving me serenity!!! God was giving me mental, emotional and spiritual peace, focus, relief and more strength than I had ever had before.
