Most of the time this is a picture of my mindset. Calm and serene. Gently following life’s path with ease and peace. Confidently taking step after step. I can say, with certainty, that it is the grace of the Lord that I am able to do so.
But today, today I am amongst the rapids. Panic is looming. Tears are on edge. The jagged rocks of overwhelming decisions are jutting up into the current that is...
When we’re kids everyone is a new friend
Someone to play with
A game of chase or “Tag! You’re it!”
It was something we took for granted.
But now the world is slanted
For we have so many plans
With ear buds in they say “Don’t talk to me.”
Business and hurry are ripping time away
Sometimes I forget how easy it was to say
“Hello” to a stranger...
Reflection.
An image, movement, motion.
My entire experience of existence will be determined.
Will it be a haze of distortion?
Will it hold clarity abounding?
That must rely on my choices and discretion.
If I decide to embody holiness and wholeness
Or embrace spiritual poverty and shattered
pieces....
I haven’t met you yet, but I hope I can say this to you one day:
“You are steady. You are a leader. You make me feel safe. You are confident. You make me feel wanted. You are gentle. You are strong. You persevere. You work hard. You are thoughtful, generous and kind. Boundaries are set and never broken. Wisdom flows from within you.
God is your first love and it is evident. You don’t sway to the...
I’ll be thirty
Woah
That’s boggling
I’ll hopefully be chasing humility
And worshiping His majesty ever more
Deeper than possible in this moment known
Maybe I’ll have found him
The partner and best friend
The one who’s team I’ll be on until the end
And maybe we will have kids
Two, three, or ten
From my womb or adopted within
Or maybe I’ll still be serving
Only with Him as my partner
And a c...
Eight days out
Thirteen strangers.
Ever climbing mountains
Diving cliff hangers
Boats on rivers
Treks up springs
Oars continuous
Sore groaning rings
From dawn to dusk
Cold summer rain
Enduring with trust
The shivering pain
Cavernous depths
Pitch black parts
Echoing hymns
Praise of our hearts
The expanse glorious
Constellations sears
Twinkling lights
Glistening eyes tear
What a luxury gr...
A brisk walk at dusk sounded peaceful and enriching.
I saw the most glorious rose bush along the trail.
I peeked around it and saw that it went for miles.
I followed it into the woods until I stumbled upon The Graveyard.
Darkness had fallen so it was time to return.
I’m lost and disoriented, I can’t find the trail.
Wait what was that sound?
No! I thought that it was only a legend!...
Bursting summer rays
A powerful haze
That give way to the evenings
Golden hour shimmers
Hints for me to remember
The beauty of your being
Moon light nights
Put up a fight
To keep the sun at bay
Gentle light illuminates
the clouds love to participate
In the glory of being early
Morning sun through the window pane
It demands to keep the gain
And the momentum of its turning...
I know a girl…
When she speaks, she is compelling.
She brings a new perspective.
There is truth that she gets directly from her creator.
He speaks to her personally.
Blooming in her is a pioneer, a path-finder.
Resilient. Enduring. Thriving.
She is a defender.
She contends.
With courage she stands.
She stands for her God.
She stands for herself.
She stands for other.
She is genuine. ...
