I started this blog exactly five years ago. At the time I was separated from my then husband and I was thinking that I would be documenting our journey back together and the miracle working power of God! I was believing that God was going to completely transform my ex into this model Managawd (man … More I’m Back!
My name is Krissa and I write so that I can heal. I have been writing stories since primary/elementary school and journaling and writing poetry since I was 13 years old. It’s just what I do.

If you’ve been reading this blog from the beginning you would know that I’m very adamant about remaining abstinent until I get married again. I made the commitment in December 2015 after I separated from my husband, but it was a real struggle for me! He was still my husband so technically I wasn’t doing … More Abstinence Ain’t Easy!
Someone in a group that I’m in asked us the meaning of our names. Mine means “Follower of Christ” and it blows my mind every time I think about it. My mother told me that she made up my name because she liked “Krystal” but there were too many girls named that, so she went … More He Knows Our Names

It’s the day of my departure and I don’t want to get out of bed because my eyes are swollen and my head hurts.

Ray kisses me awake the next morning but I keep my eyes closed because I can’t get the memory out of my head and I’m really not in the mood. But this is it. There’s no turning back from this one. “Babe is everything okay? You were really restless last night and at one … More Papillon Papers – Page 13
That night I could not sleep. I kept thinking about all the times Ray hurt me and I kept having flashbacks. One of them was the day after I found out about the baby. Phone call with Aurora: “Oh my God Ro! You would not believe the shit I got myself into today!” “Do I … More Papillon Papers- Page 12
We get back to the house and the guys were hanging out in the backyard drinking beers so Ray stayed out with them but I went inside to meet the girls.
