When I think back
to dancing on stage
the thought of dancing with flags
didn’t exist
When I think back
to drinking every night Continue reading

“Everyone Counts”
When faith is lost
and hope is gone
and no one comes around
what happens
Is that when people
fall into despair
seclude from others
and get lost in their mind
Is that when death
creeps in and
strangles the life
out of the heart
Is that when sadness
overwhelms every thought
and depression becomes
a weight that sinks the soul
Is that when tears
flood the inside
drowning the future
of becoming real
Is that when laughter
becomes buried
and smiles become
a thought never expressed
Never be afraid to be a friend
Never be afraid to give a smile
Never be afraid to say a prayer
It may restore hope
It may restore faith
It may restore life, a life worth living
“Failing Love”
In a room full of people
I know where you are
if I don’t
I look for you
do you look for me Continue reading
“Love of Friends”
No more counterfeit
after feeling this love
no other thing
will fool me
Love
freely given
without words
deeply known
no question
Disciples
by their love
showing me
the heart of Jesus
Where does creativity come from
How does it grow
Out of love
First Love from Him
encouraged by
friends: the wind that carries my flight
“The Beauty of Worship”
When my eyes are closed
I see more of Him
the vision of my heart
so clear
Burning through my soul
reminding me
of Your love
for me
He said, “The beauty of your worship
to Me fills heaven.
On earth, it looks different,
but in Heaven,
the beauty’s the same.”
“My Dance with Jesus”
When the music begins
it warms my heart
and I think of the
way You love me
I unravel my flags
and lift them to fall
in the romance I have
with You
As the silk flutters
and flows through the air
I’m reminded of
how You see me:
Beautiful ~ untouched by the pains of this world
because I’m covered in Your love
Wholesome ~ a virgin of the heart waiting for love
purified by the flow of Your blood
Loving ~ becoming like You more and more
as I listen to the hearts that need You
What You’ve done in my life
pours through every move
and renews every moment
I dance:
in Your sight
through Your heart
in my mind
Watch me, LORD
Dance with me
Receive my honor and praise
for the way You
mold me into Your love
and release me to
change the world
“Looking Back at Me”
A glance at my reflection
disappointment
sadness
insecurity
Growth
A glance at my reflection
confidence
assurance
peace
Growth
A glance at my reflection
aging
grayness
wrinkles
Growth
Without the mirror
beauty remains
learning to see
Peace
“Personal Paradise”
On the mountain
wind blowing freely
a view untouched
By the ocean
the sound of waves
crashing on the soul
In the forest
trees standing tall
praising heaven
In a meadow
the fragrance of flowers
the scent of Jesus
Places in my heart:
where God’s on the throne
where love becomes real
where dreams are destiny
where moments are lived
