at its finest.

It's been a whole season since I've written anything real or of reflection. Summer was definitely a season. A season of slight ups but heavy downs. The past year was very difficult for me and I'm happy I was able to conquer the storms by myself. September is slowly coming to a close and, now, I find myself in the cafe of William Paterson University. I like it here...I truly do.

But it was still more than a temporary high, It’s still more than what I can do. Sitting on a throne, sticks hand in hand and I know there are eyes on me. I don’t want those eyes, I don’t want those eyes on me. My focus of my musical talent was for someone greater than I am. Someone bigger and greater than storms and kings. A congregation’s eyes should see an almighty Savior Ki
