These are my words, thoughts and emotions. I am compelled to write something, anything, and everything; not to offend you, but to free me. Growing up in the Suburbs of Maryland, my life was somewhat sheltered. Writing was my outlet and unknown to me at the time, but a passion that would not die. Looking back, the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly STILL amazes me and the fact that I had absolutely no control over it confirms that HIS grace is indeed sufficient.
