One Year Anniversary
July 26, 2014
For a long time, I thought that being a good Christian meant going to church and reading your bible. I really didn’t understand the depth of freedom that was possible, so I lived my life on the surface, but once I found out the truth and started to live it, God called me to be re-baptized, and I listened.
When you don’t know who you are in Christ, you’re bound to live life in a way that “seems” right but leads to spiritual darkness. That was the place I was living in: not declaring who I was, but always bringing up who I used to be and what I used to do. I’m not even sure if I’m explaining it right, but it’s how I lived, and it wasn’t very free at all. Eventually, I met someone who was freer than me and started listening. Continue reading
“Just Me”
I’m not like anyone else
just me
and there are moments when that’s great
and there are other moments
I wish I always saw through God’s eyes
always saw the heart
just the heart
in myself
in others
in Him
I worship the way I worship
I dance the way I dance
sometimes drool when I sleep
I’m just me
and when I walk in my shoes
there’s Power
Two Halves Make a Whole
Every once in awhile, I experience a loneliness that HAS to be felt, and last night was one of those nights.
When it’s time to dye flags, the whole process is pretty taxing physically and spiritually, for me anyways, so by the end of the night, I was exhausted, and it’s at that moment of exhaustion when I find I miss a husband the most.
All I picture is sitting down and resting with him, whoever “that” is, but at the same time, I feel super close with God, so I’m never sure how to react, so I just react. Continue reading
“Tantrum”
I have everything I need
everything I want
yet I’m sitting on the floor
crying
how long will it be
just You and me, God
how long will You provide
through me alone
sometimes
I get tired of being alone Continue reading
“Indeed I Know”
without a doubt – I am free
without a doubt – You love me
without a doubt – I’ve found life
inside of You
without a doubt – I am love
without a doubt – I believe
without a doubt – who I am
inside of You Continue reading
“Lack of Freedom”
walking along the shores of life
missing the beauty of Who You are
holding onto darkness
lost in Your light
deceived to stay in prison
as one holds the keys to freedom Continue reading
Room for More
Last night, Corrie was telling me about this amazing revelation she had. I asked, “Did you write about it?” She said, “No, you can tomorrow,” so here we go.
Corrie absolutely LOVES the beach: she loves the ocean; she loves the hiking; she loves watching her family; she LOVES the sand; and she loves collecting little rocks and sea shells. Well, at a recent time at the beach, she was on the hunt for some little rocks and sea shells but encountered trash instead. Continue reading
Living the Truth
The other day, one of the neatest and one of the worst things happened. Over the past year or so, I’ve been learning a lot more truth and have made it a point to live out all that I’ve learned: in church, on the streets, in my home, etc., and one thing I especially like is the way my kids learn at home.
I never make my kids go to church. I used to guilt them into going on Mother’s Day, Easter, and Christmas, but even that stopped. I never wanted to force them and always felt like it was my job to teach them at home.
When I say “teach,” I’m merely explaining how I live by example. I don’t set them down with a bible, paper, and a pen. I live what I believe and then explain why I’m living it. Sometimes, they don’t listen, but sometimes, they do. Continue reading
