Today I survived the death of a loved one, rest in peace sweet Sonia Reyes; My computer crashed and I contemplated life and death; I read the entire book of Ecclesiastes because I figured God had the answer and He did. This is the verses that stood out to me:
Ecclesiastes 7:12-14
12) For wisdom is a defense even as money is a defense, the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom shields and preserves the life of him who has it.
13) Consider the work of God: who can make straight what He has made crooked?
14) In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider that God has made the one side by side with the other , so that man may not find out anything that shall be after him.
Ecclesiastes 8:8
There is no man who has power over the spirit to retain the breath of life, neither has he power over the day of death; (and there is no discharge in battle - This I don't understand yet) But, basically I am a wo(MAN) and He is God. I am to pursue wisdom and the beginning of wisdom is the reverent fear of God. I will be working on this. Because I am not there yet.
Tomorrow I journey to the land far far away to East Bakersfield. On the bus.
Welcome to Purely Exposed!!! This is where I write about the joys, struggles and triumphs of life. I write transparently about the struggles in life where I have fought to become a better version of myself and to live my life based on my Christian beliefs. I am being redefined and that's a good thing. I believe we need to be aware that we must have a sense of purpose and belonging in our lives. I discuss my journey openly and unashamedly thereby becoming purely exposed.

About Me

- A year ago when I started my blog my outlook was very different than it is now. I intended on writing a book and opening a homeless shelter here in our town. What I ended up doing was recovering from many years of hardship and healing from past relationships that had wounded me. The journey has been one of beauty, difficulties, a lot of fighting to stay alive and eventual stabilization in my life. I would have never thought that I would go through the things that I have. I am ready to write about it. I've had writer's block for almost a year which was a result of losing my voice to express how I was feeling and processing life. With much love from many dear friends, family and my church family I have been on the road to healing. I am sharing this experience with you all here.
