Rise from the Ashes!


Oh, Happy Day!


Today is indeed a happy day. I'm so happy to be writing this blog as it's been months since I've posted anything. Just to give a little insight; mid 2025 my mother took ill. It was rather quickly and very surprising to see such a decline at such a rapid pace. My sister and I assumed the responsibility of caregivers. Anyone who has ever cared for anyone understands how overwhelming it can be. There are no words to describe how challenging and heart wrenching it is to see your mother (or anyone you love dearly) suffer. Watching mom transition reminded me of labor pangs; I knew that her blessed release was coming and that her ultimate goal, the true joy of uniting with her Lord and Savior, would soon be revealed on the other side. However, it did not take away from the unspeakable pain I felt in that moment.


Mom passed away in December and the realization that all the love I showed by caring for her and being present, could not compare to the love that her creator had for her. Romans 8:18 says "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.".


This is why I can say Oh, Happy Day! I am happy in Jesus. I am happy in knowing that He loves me and I am happy that He granted me an opportunity to see my mom through her final days on this side. We have all faced pain, heartache or even loss. This is a part of life, but the joy is in knowing that no matter how far we may feel that grief has taken us, we can rise from the ashes and still declare Oh, Happy Day! Rise up and be who God has called you to be. Rise up and walk a life worthy of your calling. Rise up and see the salvation of the Lord. Rise up and declare that nothing will separate you from the love of God. No matter what comes your way, you continue to rise from the ashes!


As I continue to rise up, I am so happy to announce that God has allowed me an opportunity to produce the songs I've written. For years I've penned lyrics as my form of worship and now I am bringing them to life. I pray that these songs are a blessing to you and that someone will desire to know and love God in a deeper way because of them. The release date is March 28th. Check out the link below and be sure to stream. I'd love to hear your feedback. May God bless and keep you my dear brothers and sisters and no matter how life scorches- you continue to rise above the ashes!
