broke and broken
regular jobs won’t work
when you’re spoiled
in getting what you want
so you sell what you live in
‘it’s just a body anyway’ Continue reading

“Freedom to Create”
When I was a little girl, I had dreams: dreams of becoming a mom, dreams of becoming a teacher, dreams of being loved, etc., and along the way, some of those dreams were forgotten (or stolen), and I lived my life as an adult in a place of settling because this-was-just-the-way-it-was-going-to-be. Of course, that was a lie from the pit of hell, but it sure did pull me down to that pit with it, until God… Continue reading
“Freedom to Follow”
I have freedom to follow
the voice of my God
freedom to walk in His ways
freedom to dance like a child
freedom to live out my days
freedom to send darkness to hell Continue reading
“Chains are Falling”
keys
keys to the Kingdom
the Kingdom is here
chains need to come off
normally
chains have locks
locks have keyholes
to be opened by keys
often
keys make me think of doors
but as I live my life
I realize I have keys
to open chains
chains of addiction
chains of pornography
chains of promiscuity
chains of rejection
chains of religion
chains of sin
chains of unworthiness
chains of unforgiveness
chains
that need to be opened
with the keys
of victory lived
“Never Change”
I live in faith
I call Your Name
You hear my voice
and stay the same
throughout
You never change

The Ultimate ‘Laugh Out Loud’
Yesterday, as I was working on flags, I used the earphones that came with my iPhone and listened to Graham Cooke speaking over me the things God was telling him…talk about POWERFUL! Recently, I saw the movie “John Wick” and mentioned how I’d like to be like HIM in the spiritual realm. While listening to this word, that’s how I felt. Continue reading
What Faith is Like
I’m sure there are perfect Christians out there, who never agree with fear, never have doubt, never lose track, etc., but I’m not one of them, and yesterday, I made the mistake of looking at my bank account balance…never a good idea, but Nathan wanted some specific food from Sam’s Club, so I needed to check.
When I saw my balance, I thought, “Oh, no! What am I doing! How is this going to make sense! The kids depend on me. What am I going to do?, etc.” It was fast. It was accurate (to the world). It was NOT Kingdom living, and I got sucked right into it. It was crazy. Continue reading
“A Little of Everything”
I know what it’s like to be loved
I know what it’s like to be hated
I know what it’s like to be forgiven
I know what it’s like to be resented
I know what it’s like to be welcomed
I know what it’s like to be in the way
I know what it’s like to be remembered
I know what it’s like to be forgotten
I know what it’s like to taste fear
I know what it’s like to breathe faith
I know what it’s like
“Blindfolded”
when the bills are due and you’re just ‘not there’ yet
when everything you spend cuts into the rent
when your problems point to the promises
no need to worry
no need to fret
another opportunity
to trust
to believe
to listen
to move
walking by faith
leaving everything behind
discovering new land
to live in
