“Closer than Real”
I like having friends
I don’t have to perform for
just being in their presence
is enough
just being me
is enough
sometimes not even talking
just being
there for them
there for me
there for Him
to do what He does
through friendships
Above the Barbed Wire Fence
Before I forget, I want to share with you a comical moment from my recent retreat. It didn’t happen “during” but on my way home.
After the official ending time of my retreat, I was invited to stay longer but felt compelled to leave after eating lunch. I figured it was so I could miss traffic, but God had planned something else. Continue reading
Crossing Wires
Yesterday, I gave my friend and her dog a ride to one of those mobile neuter buses, and if you know me, that’s a HUGE thing.

Dinner’s Done
In the beginning of my recovery through AA, I’d felt I’d finally made it “home.” Everyone accepted me, loved me, remembered my name. It was so good. I loved going to meetings and acted a certain way there, which the kids rarely saw at home.
I remember times when the kids would say, “You need a meeting,” and I’d usually leave to go to one. By the time I came back, I was in a good mood, ready to be a mom. That lasted for years, until I really surrendered to God. Continue reading
