Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

I've written two books which are a collection of my anecdotes about life, love, and wisdom. I started writing poems when my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and interesting enough, I find it difficult to find the words to write about my mother's diagnosis. Maybe its the irony of it all. Maybe its the fear that I may join their ranks. Maybe its the hopelessness or vulnerability I feel every time I'm around my mother. Maybe its the doubt that God really is in control. In all of that, as a writer, I find comfort in thinking of God as an author. I don't have to be in control of this story. I don't have to make sure that the plot doesn't have holes. I don't have to create full characters. I'm not writing this story. I'm not in control. There's some comfort in not knowing the ending, and being genuinely surprised by life's turn of events. There is a peace in looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith.

Faithful

June 02, 2017 / Khia Harrison

I had a lot of positive and negative male influences growing up. I saw men do and say things that I didn't like. Interesting enough, I have more male friends, than I do female. However, the female friends I do have are close. They are about as diverse, different, and unique as they come. My male friends, too for that matter. I value all of my relationships because they are genuine, complicated, and transparent. We love each other. We love the good, the bad, and the ugly. I think relationships fail when we choose to not see people for who they really are. In fact, every relationship that I had where infidelity was issue; I knew. I saw the wandering eye. I ignored the extra flirtatious nature, because I believed that I was enough. Moment of Truth: You are enough for the right person. You never have to make someone be faithful. Either they value you, or they don't. The right person will not risk it all for a moment of temporal pleasure. The right person will commit. The right person will be worth the wait. The right person will be faithful to the end.
