“The what-ifs are the worst and they come without permission. They come without warning. Like all terrible things with no mission but to distract, the what-ifs always come. They come and suck the life out of a person, leaving them drained of happiness, courage and grit. I was contending against the possibilities of things taking a turn for the worse. I was fighting against moments that did not happen, against that which was still unknown. “©Simone Holloway, 2020.

Back in the DM

There’s No Need To Fear.
For God will never give you the spirit of fear, but the Holy Spirit who gives you mighty power, love, and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7 TPT

No Shame
Y’all, I have no idea what this life of no shame will bring but I’m excited. I feel free, like in the depths of my soul. I feel like I can conquer the world. I feel strong and full of life in the inner chambers of my heart. I feel brave. It takes bravery to move into the unknown out of fear into love, out of being guarded to being open, out of holding things into being extremely honest. I am okay with where I am and that is freedom all in itself. I’ve embraced the truth about me and I am unashamed. I’ve embraced my triumphs and my failures, every ounce of my brokenness and the places where I am whole, all of my strengths and all of my weaknesses. I’m okay with every ounce of me and I am enough because I am in Him. I’m literally smiling as I type this article, overjoyed at the process He is doing in my heart. ©Simone Holloway, 2019

Oozing With Words
Hello old friend, new followers and fellow bloggers- I wish I could say that I’ve always had the right words to say, or that I was always confident to speak my heart, but that is not the case. I remember times, having so much to say but not knowing exactly how to translate my pain. …
Hold My Hand
“To tell you the truth, some individuals just want the security of a held hand. There is something so intimate, careful yet secure about having your hand held by the one you love and the one who loves you.”©Simone Holloway, 2017
Running Backward in Fear
Hello old friends, new followers and fellow bloggers- This weekend was an interesting one, to say the least. It was supposed to have been the weekend, I moved into my new place.
