Thank you for stopping by and I welcome you in to the journey. I am Tiwanda Renee and the purpose for this episode is to simply say hi... Hi!

There's something about Love that I really love. In this episode I reflect on representing the church as the bride of Christ. We, as humans, have so many faults and flaws yet in Ephesians 5 it is made clear to us that Christ (v.25) loved the church and gave himself for the church that (v.27) he might represent it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish. That says a lot about who we are not just expected to be but who and what we are capable of becoming. Read the chapter for yourself and be strengthened in wisdom. Thank you for the assignment friend, pray it reflects well.

In this episode I reflect on the good in bye with the thought that if we can see the 'bad' in goodbye, we ought to also see the good.

In this episode, I purpose to express the gratitude and gain that has come from a broken heart and pain. When we choose to let it continue, our stories blossom and evolve into works of splendor we might have never considered they'd be. And no matter how we define love or what we consider it to be, God is love and He chases us down with his mercy and grace. Nothing compares to the attention and healing He gives.

One day my heart won't hide any contents. Oh wait! I think it's already doing some exposing lol. But this episode is a journey to whomever God has me waiting for. What all will I go through or think about while I'm getting to know others and myself better? Some of that is here. And there's more that will be shared until the day we realize each other and he can hear for himself what my journey has been. But here's some of the journey for you to realize first. Enjoy.

Sometimes in those dark moments we can't see or find our way to the light. In this episode, I purpose to remind us that there is always hope, always relief and always God just a sound away when we call. The night season, as I describe it is but for a moment and joy does come in the morning. Let it come peering in for you. The joy available to us is in reach and with the slightest bit of faith we can press forward and receive it.

The expression of writing is freeing. In this episode I share more from the pages of my journal and journey to healing from different injuries that lead to or deepened brokenness.

A very good space to be in is one where you are thrilled to wake up and experience life. One where you pass by the mirror, take a few steps back and smile at yourself because you are so in love with who you are. That real, raw, authentic person you have become. In this life we will endure pain, great pain sometimes, but in the pain is not where we belong. Neither will we stay. In this episode, I release some of my pain and pray that it helps you possibly express some of your own and drive you to that knowing that life is to be lived and love is to be had. Especially self-love.

Relationships. What a journey.
