In Harms Way
Today, I’m not really sure how writing’ll work out. It’s one of those times when I’m afraid of what I’m going to write about, so without thinking, here I go. Continue reading
“Ticking Away”

One on One
Last week, the kids were at youth camp, and on Friday, we picked them up to bring them home to a surprise.
Since we arrived two months ago, I’ve been asking Scott for a basketball hoop for the kids. Well, I finally made that happen.
When we pulled up, I watched their faces. Nathan wasn’t looking out the window, but Carolyn saw, and her face said it all! She was SO surprised and pointed it out to Nathan, who loved it.
When we got inside, I laid down for a quick nap, and when I’d awoken (which was not even an hour later), Nathan’d already been out there shooting hoops!!
Later on, he went out a second time with Katie.
This hoop was one of the best decisions we’ve made!! Nathan’s been SO depressed, but now, he has an outlet!
In Order for a Reason
Change…it never bothered me, until everything changed; then, I learned how difficult it actually was, and so far, I haven’t handled it very well.
Even last night, at the dinner table, I was trying to remember a day I hadn’t cried and couldn’t think of one Continue reading
“Salt Water”
when words
hide in tears
they get
wiped away
How would you complete this sentence?
When the battlefield’s your training ground,…
Not ALL Bad
Since it’s been “difficult” here, I’m going to point out things I like.
I love hearing the birds talk…sometimes fifty at a time.
I love watching the trees blow through the window.
I love my yellow room.
I love sitting at our dining room table, eating dinner, playing games.
I love, when I’m first to wake up, sitting in the living room in silence.
I love sitting in that same silence in my bedroom.
I love dancing at church.
I love the breeze at the ocean; it sort of blows the humidity away.
And in the moments it happens, I love watching the kids have fun.
I love my talks with Katie.
I love the times when Scott and I laugh.
I love watching the kids grow.
I love cooking with my girls.
I love creating.
Anyway, those are some of the things I love. I’m sure I’m missing some, and I’m sure some are an exaggeration, but it’s good to focus on the beauty that’s all around me.
“Relationship Takes Two”
under His Glory
beneath the stars
on solid ground
He spends time with me
under His Glory
beneath the stars
on solid ground
I spend time with Him
could you imagine
if one of us
didn’t
if only “I” was talking
never hearing from God
never seeing a sign
and what about Him
if “He” was only talking
as I lived my life
apart from Him
Hosea was placed
in marriage
for a purpose
to show how
one-sided
the relationship was
my prayer is for all
to spend time with Him
under His Glory
beneath the stars
on solid ground
