Called and Justified



Romans 8:30
And those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified; and those He justified, he also glorified.

This scritpture serves as a constant reminder that my calling has been justified. It seems silly that God called me to so something and even as I walk in it I find myself doubting it, but when I step back and look at the big picture I realize it's not the calling I have doubt in; it is myself. Am I writing what God wants me to write? Am I intepreting the scripture correctly? Is this really my calling or just my talent? These are all questions I have asked myself at some time or another, sometimes multiple times a month. As I get closer to the release of my first contemporary Christian fiction book the words of this scripture are all the more real to me. 


 My talent has always been writing. From the poetry that kept me alive to the stories that stimulated my imagination, but the task, the privilege of writing contemporary Christian was given to me by God. Of all the stories I've written over the years the joy of writing Genevieve has been my greatest accomplishment; not my greatest accomplishment but God's. Three years ago I sat behind a desk at a job I was beginning to hate bored ut of my mind when I started this story. It wouldn't be until I pubished Secrets that I would find my passion for Genevieve. I didn't and won't do very much promotion of Secrets, because honestly I am not in that place anymore. I havee a few more titles to publish under Onyx Rosz but to be honest after these are ublished Onyx may go into retirement. I digress, over the last year( I can't believe it's been a year) I worked very hard on Genevieve. From realizing the story was written backwards to wanting to give up, Genevieve has been my blood, sweat, and tears; and thanks to God she will be my first great accomplishment in His name.

 I honestly don't know where this book will lead me. I don't know if it will do well or touch lives. I pray that it does. All I do know is that I was predestined and justified to write this book. I pray that you show support and purchase a copy when it releases and that it may in some way touch your life. Be Blessed everyone, commit your dreams to the Lord and watch them come true.

 Genevieve Lost now available for pre-order for only $3.99.

Mental Health Pandemic

This is more or less an impulsive post. After many years, for the first time, I decided to watch Good Will Hunting. Of course, I'd seen it referenced in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, but I'd never once actually seen the movie. I was quite shocked to see that Robin Williams was in this movie. Although the movie was an award-winning drama and was meant to play at your emotions, the entire time I couldn't help but feel saddened by the absence of Robin Williams in real life.

Is therapy REALLY working?

At this point I have to ask, is therapy really working?    I've been in therapy on and off since I was about 14 years old... maybe one or two years younger than that. That being said, I never really got much out of it in the teen years because let's face it, as a teen you really don't want to cooperate with any adult, let alone a "Shrink". I would go and talk about nothing of importance, pretending to sleep when it was my mother's turn to come in for the session with me. How this woman knew I wasn't sleeping was beyond me. I did what I was required to do and got my Doritos every time I went, so I was happy. Looking back at my first session, I can see the pattern that started even way back then. I have the hardest time finding competent therapists. Let me explain, from the moment I read an article in Teen Magazine about depression, I basically diagnosed myself. My being in therapy wasn't even the result of my mother thinking I had depression; it was bec...

Mask on... Fuck it, Mask Off?

  It's frustrating that I even feel the need to write about this. It's more than frustrating, it's downright infuriating. It's so strange to look back on my life and see how far I have come. I used to have the worst attitude in the world. If my day was going bad I would take it out on anyone and everyone at any given time. It wasn't until I was at McDonald's one day, and a lady I had been really nasty to said to me "Honey, I haven't done anything to you." I remember exactly how I felt in that moment. The mere memory of it elicits the same emotions and feelings of that moment. The realization as it swept over me, the light that seemed to brighten my world, and the smile that spread across my face. I felt light, and I felt free. I apologized and vowed from that day forward that I would try my best not to take my bad day out on others. Admittingly, I still struggle with it from time to time, however, in those moments that I do forget I try to at least...
