"Poetry, like music, is another way to express emotions. The words follow a winding path carrying your feelings along with them. The rhythms speak to your heart and draw you in giving a voice to things you may not know you needed to say. Life is an unfolding journey of joys and sorrows, confidence and confusion. Unfolding Journey follows those ups and downs in my life. Feelings turned into words. Words given as a gift from our Heavenly Father- words...

The poems and corresponding texts reflect my story. Thoughts and prayers gathered form gleaning behind the reapers.
Listening and seeking to respond to the Divine promptings and guidance have led me to discover, on the one hand the sovereign workings of God's mysterious ways and my human responsibility on the other.
Beauty and Bands were broken, how and why?
My quest; I needed to find a shepherd.
He was there.
Himself broke and wounded...

The city's Roman Catholic roots and its blended French, Spanish, Creole and American Indian populations heavily influenced the rites and rituals that West Africans brought to Louisiana as enslaved laborers. The resulting unique Voodoo tradition is now deeply rooted in the area. Enslaved practitioners in the nineteenth century held Voodoo dances in designated public areas like Congo...

"Many things keep us from a child-like faith in a loving God. Our experience shapes our beliefs and expectations for life and greatly influence our view of who God is, and who He could and couldn't be. The Gospel is the universal message that stands in stark contrast to the sins of the world we've lived in. The God of the Gospel is unfortunately viewed through eyes that have only seen evil apart from any of God's goodness. God's love is not limited...
