Because of my past
people “expect” me to be broken
Because of my past
people tend to want to “fix” me
Because of my past

A Weekend Getaway
Guess who spent the weekend with us?
Lee.
Last week, God put it on my heart to invite Lee over to relax, to feel normal, to be involved in family life…to just “be,” so on Saturday, after Nathan and Kyle’s flag football game, I drove to Balboa Park to pick him up. I was to meet him at our usual spot, where we hang out during lunch times, and when I drove up, he was sitting there waiting, already showered.

“Motivation”
Desiring to be done but not wanting to move
Desiring to move on but not wanting to leave
Desiring to do more but not wanting to volunteer

His name was Anthony. Lee moved to the ground, I sat in the chair, and Anthony sat on the other side and pulled out his violin. When he found out who I was, he was very excited. He said I was well talked about and said he was hoping to meet me someday. Then, he began to play. Continue reading

“Standing Tall”
kneeling
in shame
afraid to look up
kneeling
in sorrow
not knowing how to live
kneeling
to teach
face to face – eye to eye
kneeling
to listen
to the small voice that cries
kneeling
in awe
of being loved by Him
kneeling
in Reverence
of Who He is: I AM
“Season’s End”
broken
like the wind
not knowing where to blow
hiding
in the stillness
or the shadows
darkness Continue reading
“Footsteps”
The price You paid
for me to walk this way
to follow You

The blood You shed
for me to be set free
to follow You
