He didn’t say
we wouldn’t weep while we waited.
He didn’t say
feeding the lantern’s flame,
wouldn’t singe.
He didn’t promise,
finding oil would be easy.
Only “Be ready,”
and the Spirit will with you sit.

Hey Mary Grace… I know I’ve said this a million times already lol I’m just here to tell you I’m leaving. I was looking for someone who followed my old blog today and all I did was search for their name. I got a couple eye fulls of women… I struggled with porn for a terribly long time. This place has been hard on me because I feel uninteresting and I struggle socially. But after seeing all that, this place has become another source of something I’ve been avoiding for years now.
I’m just telling you this because you’ve been pretty awesome. Maybe you deserve a goodbye lol. 🤪
Okay. Well, I am sure glad you reached out to tell me. And you are absolutely doing the right thing if its bringing stuff like that up for you. I will miss reading you around. BUT you know where to find my blog it wont be going anywhere. My contact page is always open.
Thank you John.
It sucks… I’ve came across it before but today was like a hammering. I just put in a name and scrolled down and I was staring at “lady part”. I scrolled down to get it out of sight and I came across another post with more parts….
You and a few others have been a core for me on here. And I stuck around here for y’all. But I don’t want this again. The jonsing started immediately and I just got off and stayed off. I got myself together and came back to tell y’all.
It does suck. But it’s also okay. I am proud of you. Staying away from that is more important. Thank you for letting me know. I will keep you in my prayers when God brings you to my mind. And he will.
You’re the only Canadian I know who would be reading my blog 😂
Hey! Ya, just noticed the blog name on Sam Girls blog. Had to go make sure it was you but also had to out the kids to bed.
Well… yeah. It’s me. I tried to come back and be privateish. I wouldn’t say I’m back. I’m just posting stuff. I don’t know my longevity here. I just wanted to write. I feel a bit embarrassed for coming back. For now I’m doing well.
I won’t bother you.
Okay, that’s okay. I get it. I’m glad you are writing again.
You didn’t like or say anything. So I figured you were probably like gahhhh him🤦♂️ lol!!!
Never assume. It’s always better to just ask. I don’t read many blogs these days. It’s been a few weeks since I was able to sit down and go through a few posts.
Ok, Mary Grace, do you hate me? Are you disgusted I’m here and talking to you, again? Lol!!!
Hate? Never. Disgusted? Absolutely not.
I’m glad to hear.
I’m not asking you to follow me for a 3rd or 4th time. But I would like to invite you if you want. I still need an editor 😜
You won’t see me around all the time but I will pop.in now and then. ❤️
I know you’re busy. I’m just glad you’re still willing to put up with me 😂
You know the poems I wrote for the prompt words you gave me last year and in the Words of Weight poetry collection right?
I can’t remember 🤦♂️ (Sorry, I have been diagnosed with short term memory loss and ptsd)
Sorry to hear that and no problem. I think I remember that you gave me two prompt words for it. Anyway. It’s late. I need to call it a night. Will read you later John.
Good morning 😜
What about the prompt words?
The poems for the two prompt words you gave me are in my latest poetry collection. Words of Weight. It was published in October.
I’ll have to check it out 😁
