Hello old friends, new followers and fellow bloggers- There is nothing more exhausting than living a life of comparison. Nothing. I didn’t realize how much of a comparison-driven life I was living until I saw how much time I consumed reflecting on the adventures of others through social media. To be connected to so many,…

With Everything Inside…
Hello old friends, new followers, and fellow bloggers- “With everything inside…” those were the words of a song I wrote Christmas Day, 2017. It was a random expression of how I felt about the Father. My dad’s friend sat at the piano and I just began to sing, “With everything inside, I will offer you…
Misplaced Expectations.
“If we’re honest, our anger is with ourselves. We’re disappointed that we placed faith and trust in someone that we thought could do no wrong, but they did. Problem is: we’re all human, liable to make mistakes.” (c) Simone Holloway, 2018
All Walled Up
“Our walls keep us from receiving all that the Father has destined for us. Think about it, how can we believe in our dream if our wall of false belief about self stands in the way? I remember delaying on what God placed on the inside because His Word had to run into my wall of fear. ” ©Simone Holloway, 2018
I Am Too Proud To Beg
“Christmas is my favorite holiday because its the day God in goodness full of love gave the world a gift that was too good for it: His Son. He loved me enough to give me a piece of himself. And if the Creator gave himself so freely, why on earth should I have to beg someone to love me well? I don’t. Point, blank, periodt!” ©Simone Holloway, 2018
Steadfast Love
“I thought I trusted God. I did. I thought I understood His love for me, this notion that because He loves me He wouldn’t leave me without. Yet, my heart became increasingly full of fear and anxiety wrapped me in a bear hug as to say “Welcome Home!” Even in the midst of my perceived weakness, He never changed. He loved me with a steadfast love.” ©Simone Holloway, 2018
Confessions of a Law Student…
“Like, many of you may read this and be like,” Wow sis, you’re super dramatic!” But if some of you lived a day in my colleagues’ lives, you would lose it. I mean you would probably think you’re borderline insane. Studies show that law students/lawyers experience 30% more depression than the average citizen, 45% more anxiety, and 40% more issues with substance abuse.”©Simone Holloway, 2018
Safe Spaces
“Let’s be real, those who are super loving are usually the ones that have experienced the most pain. Those who are super accepting of others are typically the ones who’ve been rejected by many. Those who are the “strong” one in their relationships are typically built that way because of traumatic events surrounding their weaknesses. I have been all of these things…rejected, in pain and have experienced trauma. Overall, my soul sought safety.”©Simone Holloway, 2018
Fearless.
Hello old friends, new followers, and fellow bloggers- I think God is taking me on this incredibly, crazy, uncomfortable yet fulfilling journey. He is breaking the back of fear out of my life. My biggest desire has been to live a life that was fearless. One absent of apprehension, fear, and doubt- to be free…
One Lyric At a Time…
Hello old friends, new followers, and fellow bloggers- I love to write. I love to write poems, short stories, and songs… I love to write songs. I’ve been writing songs since I was a little girl, lyrics would pour out of me like oil. I have journals filled with songs, napkins with songs lyrics, old…
