"And The TRUTH Shall Set You Free"

"Half a truth is often a great lie."

Benjamin Franklin


One of my biggest pet peeves is being lied to, and yet, I've been known to tell even the smallest white lie.  The biggest lie I tell people is that I'm okay.  Knowing full and well I am ready to rip someones head off... It's what I like to call human nature.  It's something we all have done at some point (big or small), even if we didn't know it at the time.  

The fact is, I don't like my personal life and what I am going through to be broadcast across the world, if I did, well Facebook would definitely be the place!  That's why I still can't believe God called me to do a blog...He has such a sense of humor!

It says in I Timothy 2:4:

"God desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth."



What really is our truth?  What do we know?  What standards do we live by?  Who are we as individuals?  And the biggest question is, are we ready to die for what we believe in?


"Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

John 14:6


Jesus is my truth, my reality.  I do my best to live a moral and truthful life.  I am not perfect and I do catch myself telling the occasional white lie or partial truth, however, if you ask me a question be prepared for the answer.

Don't let the picture fool you, I am not meek, nor am I shy.  Ask any of my friends and they will tell you I am as bold as they come.  Hmmm....maybe that's why God started me out on a blog format.  ðŸ˜‰

I can humbly and honestly admit that I am not where I need to be yet, but I know the path I have chosen to go down.  I will take up my cross and gladly walk it, even if it cost me everything.  The whole time rejoicing and praising His name along the way.

You are probably wondering how I can do that?  Because I was once was lost, but now I am found (Luke 15:32).  


"So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

John 8: 31-32


Jesus loved us so much that He died for our sins!  I truly feel free, and for once in my life, forgiven.  And today I am hear to tell you that you can live this life too.  All you have to do is except His free gift of salvation and allow Jesus to be the Lord of your life.

 Heavenly Father,

 I come before you now and thank you for saving my weary soul and for being Lord of my life.  Thank you for freeing my soul and giving me the strength that I need to face every trial that I endure.  I give you all praise, honor and glory.

 I ask now Father that you would bless everybody reading this blog today, for we know it wasn't by accident that they ended up here.  Move through their lives, guide them and bless them richly with Your love and grace.  

 I also ask Father that if any of them don't know You, or have walked away from Your word that through this they will find You again.

 I love You Lord and I thank You for loving us, even if we have ever felt unworthy.  Thank You for everything.  In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

 Before I close out this blog today I am not leaving a verse or a fancy quote.  Today, I am leaving you with a beautiful worship song one of my sisters in Christ shared on Facebook and I am inviting you to know to except Jesus in your heart as your personal Lord and Savior.  If you don't know Him or you have backslidden, please take this opportunity so that you to will be free.  He loves you and died for you!  It doesn't matter where your path is heading or what you did.  Allow Him to take the lead!
Heavenly Father,


Today I confess with my mouth boldly that I am a sinner who has come to realize that I can't do this alone.  I now see that Your mercy and grace is more than sufficient for me.  I truly believe with all my heart and thank you for loving me so much that You sent Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for my sins.  Save this soul and change this heart of mine.  Guide my steps always.  In Jesus name I pray.  Amen.

The Broken Road

"We are all broken - that's how the light gets in." Earnest Hemingway Before I begin, I have to admit that this blog has taken a while for me to write and release because I allowed fear back in.  This is apart of my life I've not shared with many, so I was afraid of judgement and what might be held against me, but I feel like I need to take a leap and share my story and why I believe.  If it only helps one, that's okay with me because at least I was obedient and humbled myself to His leading. My first blog was written in 2014, and since I came onto the scene of thing's I only shared brief clips of my life.  Sure, it's easy to say, hey, I'm broken, but that's not what my blog is titled.  My blog says Just Me, The Inside Look.  Inside...hmm... that's the place I like to hide.  For years I've kept things bottled in...and in just a few weeks, I'll be 39.  I don't know about you, but I think that's a long time to keep t

Unmasked By Truth

"If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment." Carlos Santana Have you ever stood in the mirror and just saw a reflection, as if there of a stranger looking back at you? While standing there, you try to figure out what exactly happened to you? As the life you once dreamed about slowly fades away.. Yeah....I use to do that too.  You feel broken and battered. A dark cloud over your head seems to linger. Darkness has crept in, and then you realize life happened and you forgot how to live.  You've been beaten down...hit after hit.  Trying to stay above water, but life keeps sinking in. What if I told you that you could live through this storm.  Tread the heavy currents with much peace and joy. You probably think I'm crazy...that maybe I lost my mind...if you knew my family, I'm sure they'd take your side. I've shed my fair share of tears, and feel the heartaches and pain.  I openly confessed my brokenness to you.  Through it all, w

The Path Less Chosen

But prove yourselves obedient to the Message, and do not be mere hearers of it, imposing a delusion upon yourselves. James 1:22, Weymouth New Testament I bet you have it made up in your mind and already know by that verse alone what this blog is going to be about...well, good...that makes one of us and I congratulate you on being one step ahead of me.  I know I've been away for awhile and I promise it's been for a very good reason, but it's still not time to share that journey with any of my fellow readers.  However, when I can you will be one of the first to hear the amazing testimony of what God has helped me overcome these past couple years. A lot of lives opened, mind's changed and lives saved...and of course, nobody but God will get the glory!!!  All I can tell you is that, and believe me when I say this to be true, For the word of God will never fail .  (Luke 1:37 NLT) Now...where was I... Yes..not sure, but I definitely know whatever
