I'm just a broken sinner saved by His grace ~ God doesn't need you, He WANTS you ~ "Just so surely as we ask to have our faith strengthened, we must be willing to accept from God's hand the means for strengthening it." -George Müller

It's a common, horrid thing,
That contains the letters
P-R-I-D-E
It squelches gracious mercy,
And laughs at moral
Humility
It rears its head and screams
And says, "I'm more than
Enough, you see."
It leaves no room for forgiveness
Or love, focused
Only on being greatness
It's monstrous face is not
A scare, but welcomed by
Most on the block.
Woe to us, our blinded eyes,
How can we not see the

D ancing in the rain
A nd twirling all around,
N othing can stop this feeling of
C ircling
I ndefinitely, puddles beneath our feet.
N ever letting go as we dart across the
G round.
I nconsiderate of our soaking socks,
N ot caring to use an umbrella
T he sun has

Hope is the bridge
Betwixt joy and despair.
The thread that keeps us afloat
When our lives are laid bare.
Hope is the anchor
Holding wanderers steadfast.
With chains of mercy
And a gentle grasp.
Hope is the lifeline
We cling to in sorrows,
When we are uncertain
What will come of tomorrow.
Hope is a Person,
God in the flesh.
Our Savior and King
In mercy dressed....
"Well, girl?" Sigmond hissed, his black eyes drawing to slits.
I swallowed hard. My gaze fell upon the young mother, her face wraught with a mixture of concerned hope and anxious anticipation. I pried my eyes away from the sleeping infant in her arms.
"The child will live for five years and fourteen days." I said. I dared a glance at the mother and instantly regretted it. Her expression ...
A love so unconditional,
One I didn't deserve to know.
Yet you gave your life for mine,
And washed me white as snow.
Love against all odds
Is the love that rescued me.
The one that reached my heart
When I had thrown away the key.
A love so vibrant and wild
That drew me from the shadows
A grace that knew no bounds
As it saved me from the gallows.
A love so unconditional,
One I didn't deserve to ...
Why does life
Happen in seasons?
Why can't it
Ever stay the same?
Why are you
Here and gone tomorrow,
An endless
Cycle in a mournful game?
The good times
Never seem to last.
The days
Are slowly fading.
Here one
Moment, gone the next.
We can't
Stop this wicked aging.
Why does
It all have to happen
So fast?
My head has started to spin.
Relationships
Should be built to last,
So why
Are they fra...
I ruffled the scarlet skirts clinging to my ankles and sucked another painstaking breath.
Corsets truly weren't for the faint of heart.
"I need eyes, Harrison," I grumbled. "Get me to the case so I can swap the codes and get out of this blasted place."
Harrison's amused snort crackled through my earpiece. "What, you aren't cut out for the fancy life?"
"Not funny."
"Okay, o...
I learned to live behind a mask,
Hiding all my feelings.
Force a smile, and if they ask,
Pretend I'm not still reeling.
I learned to live unlike myself,
Bending to every wish.
Fading, but you could never tell.
Was it worth the risk?
I learned to live with all formality,
Playing my part with ease.
Slowly, painfully, I forgot reality.
Who was I supposed to be?
I learned to live a dangerous lie,
