In the beginning, when I’d had it planned to move out here to Texas, I wasn’t interested in finding a church right away, but because of the difficult times during packing and the drive, I KNEW I needed to find like-minded people to be around and knew I’d be needing a church.
During that first week in Harlingen, I’d been SO close to sinking into a dark depression and knew I was in trouble, if I didn’t get out and about, so right away, I began going to church. Continue reading
this is the month
when everything changes
this is the month
of old and new
it’s NOW
that time speeds up
my walls will be empty
the furniture…gone
things packed up Continue reading
do you know what an honor it is
to be Scott’s wife?
what a privilege to be one
unto death?
a covenant
commitment
a lifetime of one
words swim in my heart
amongst the tears
as to what this means
to me
to God
to Scott
oh what a blessing
to be awake
to be alive
to love well
forever
God’s Will brought us together
my will tore us apart
God’s Will brought us “back” together
till death do us part
when I think about it
I’m in awe
if only you knew
how many times I said “never”
if only you knew
how I walked the other way
if only you knew
how long he waited
how long he hoped
if only…
you’d understand wholly
what beauty exists
in our love
I didn’t need a dress
or an aisle to
enter
into the future
God’s planned for me
I didn’t need permission
or counseling to
know
God’s will for my
life with you forevermore
I didn’t need a ring
or vows written
down
in my heart’s
the truth of our love
all I needed was God
telling me to
step
into your arms
where He’s writing the rest
The enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy and, at different times, has reeked havoc in my family, but yesterday, some of his plans were abolished.
Twenty-two years ago, I served my ex-husband divorce papers and declared I’d never go back to him.
Over the years, we remained friends, and he never stopped loving me. I, on the other hand, continued down many different roads, and most of them were dark, and down every road, he remained my friend.
He never dated, never had a girlfriend, never “moved on.” Continue reading
his heart
steadfast
his mind
focused
his love
faithful
his help
endless
I’ve found what I was waiting for
right in front of me
I wonder how often that happens
to look for something
in plain sight
to search for something
you step over
to reach for something
in your hand
God’s been teaching me
through struggle
and revealing Himself
through love
Disney had it wrong
church is something different
but straight from God
won’t be denied
friendship in love
love in friendship
simply given
complicated to receive
so many questions of
should I
if I
what about
but none of them trump
what He says
none of it disguises
His desire in my heart
love is a choice
choosing to love is an option
