Divine Friendship

Yesterday was a busy day: emergency room in the morning, lunch in the park with Lee, caring for Nathan, and meeting a friend at UTC mall to catch up a little, but little did we know, our catching up had a purpose in heaven, and the encounter must’ve scared the enemy back to hell.

Chris and I had a plan to meet at the mall to talk about Kingdom living, but what we had planned was totally different than what heaven was brewing. When we searched for a place to sit, the only shaded area was next to a woman, who was about to leave, so we sat next to her (thinking we were taking her spot) and ended up getting to know her for over two hours. It was amazing! Continue reading

Passing the Test

Last week, I had gone to the park to surprise Lee, and boy, was he surprised! As I walked up, he was reading, so his head was down, and when I said my usual, “Hi, Lee!”, his whole body smiled. He was so happy. Well, yesterday, he was surprised with another visit, but this time, Barry went down there, too.

Class of Beauty

Recently, I came across this picture of two young ladies being sent off to prom. Do you notice anything different about them? Well, as I’ve been seeing a lot of prom pictures, I’m surprised they even let girls wear some of the stuff they wear. They show so much skin, but these two young ladies are completely covered and completely gorgeous!11334127_10205278276730688_1059958614798550353_o

I remember, not so much in high school but in my dancing days, showing as much skin as possible. I thought, “The more I show, the more chance you’ll want me.” I’m not sure if that’s the case with teenagers, but it sure is sad how little clothing they wear, even to prom.

I asked my friend if I could share this picture because my privacy setting is on “public,” so there’s that chance that a lot of people would see it. I’m so glad she let me because I want everyone to see the beauty of class, the beauty of covering up, the beauty of modesty. It’s striking and rare and a real jewel in God’s crown.

Wouldn’t it be neat if a picture like THIS went viral?!

“When the Heart Sees”

the battle’s been won
the victory’s mine

realizing
the past died on the cross
being abused died on the cross
addiction died on the cross
realizing
my reflection is brand new
my heart’s been made perfect by Him
my beauty’s released through my heart
realizing
the dance isn’t dirty
the family resemblance is of Jesus
every promise is True

the battle’s been won
the victory’s mine
the new me lives
with a reflection of beauty
