Whose I Am
Whose I Am
He is jealous for me.
to the ones who stomped on my delicate heart,
He wept.
to the ones who left me lost,
He wept.
to the ones who overlooked me,
He wept.
to the ones who talked behind my back,
He wept.
to the ones who chose me last,
He wept.
to the ones who ignored my presence,
He wept.
to the ones who declared empty words,
He wept.
there is no greater love. The Lord was with me when I was forgotten in the friend group. walked alone in the back as they strolled ahead. when the boy said it was love when it was only lust. but i clung to Him, i cling to Him now. as i sit alone forgotten in the group, i talk to Jesus. sit alone in the back, i talk to Jesus. my God enjoys being with me. that space isn’t empty, it’s Holy. when i sit with Him, He sees me.
The one whom I lay my head upon.
My beloved is so beautiful, He is clothed in such boundless majesty. I long to be dressed with His influence and humility. Jesus, my beloved, is the one whom I seek. I listen to His heart beat, yearning for the day we meet. As a gentile grafted into the greatest story, I am compelled to scribe each encounter I graciously receive. I want to remember the words He speaks to me, seeing His promises fulfilled in my life and those surrounding me. I meet Him in our secret place, where I sow in the tears I weep.
You may be asking “Anika, what’s a scribe?”
A SCRIBE: in Jewish ancestry, known to be a record-keeper & theologian & a verb for writing.
I have started to love this term as an artist who captures the stories of others around them. What I do points to something or someone other than myself.
I wish to be a hidden scribe.
A scribe in this century is more than pen and paper, it can be captured through a lens. As an artist and creative, I capture things through a lens that I believe to be Holy.

I am a big Fuji girl! I bought a camera as a creative outlet for my saturated mind. It has now turned into a lifelong dream of storytelling. I am constantly storyboarding in my head, praying the artistry will be sown into many lives, influencing many others learning how to fly. Check out my portfolio!
