Empty Stands

| Laura Lee Bonde

Well, I wasn’t going to write today because writing makes me tired, and I have a lot of flags to sew, so I decided to write a quick poem about what was going on in my heart, and as I read it, I began to weep.

I love it when my own poetry touches my heart.

As I was crying, I couldn’t get rid of what I wanted to write about, couldn’t push it to the side. I’d woken up with it, and evidently, the only way it’ll go away is through my fingers, so through these tears, I’ll give you my heart. Continue reading →

“Axis”

| Laura Lee Bonde

if life takes a turn
you won’t lose your direction
if you’re standing still
in His Heart
be still and know
keep moving forward
and trust
only look back
to help someone else
never give up
and always give in
to His Heart
let HIM move your direction
let HIM plan your steps
let HIM open your heart
to hear
all that He has for you
all that He wants for you
all that’s in store for you
let Him be your compass
and follow

Although we were a little short on time, God didn’t seem to mind and made everything work out perfectly. We were all able to eat and get to the Rock before the concert began. It ended up our seats were taken, so we had to settle for better seats. It was perfect!

So, let me tell you a little bit about Carolyn’s friend. Continue reading →
