As I’m drowning
I don’t hear You
I don’t see You
But I trust you
So I open my arms
In the midst
Sinking to the depths
Hair floating up
Air running out
As my naked body
Gently sinks
In the soaking power
Of Your love
And in this moment
I trust and believe
You’ll either pull me up
Or teach me to breathe
God
“Damn! It Feels So Good To Write!”
isolating
from
my thoughts
leads
to desolation
so
my marriage is suffocating
my kids are split up
my passion feels empty
and my dreams seem made up
So What!
I should still
be able to write
and dance
to the rhythm of hope
my creativity
CAN’T be gone
motivation should still
be in reach
blindfolded
I’m not sure
of the direction
I should go
but if
I just lean on Him
I’ll make it for sure
“Super Glue”
you can’t make
a parent
bond with their child
and you can’t make
a person
bond with their spouse
you can’t make
a teacher
bond with their student
but without that bond
what’re you left with
a child without love
a spouse without trust
a student without direction
thank God for God
Who takes what’s broken
and makes it whole
just don’t withhold
any piece of your heart
“Hello, my name is Laura, and I’m a recovered alcoholic.”
Last night, I shared my experience, strength, and hope with a bunch of people in recovery and had the most amazing time doing it, and before I went to bed, I wanted to write about it SO badly, but nothing flowed, so we’ll see what happens this morning. Continue reading
“Back to Square One”
throughout living
so many things change
time
moments
love
moods
seasons
and amidst the change
there’s growth
and amidst the growth
there’s pain
and amidst the pain
there’re tears
and amidst the tears
you may find a friend
but even friends
change with time
those close by
seem far away
those far away
seem close by
some acquaintances
become friends
some friends
become acquaintances
and through it all
I often find myself
alone
in church
aa
relationships
yes people are there
and some become friends
but as I walk to each path
I’m alone
I KNOW God is with me
but even HE said
it’s not good
for “man” to be alone
yet HE was there
so as I drive to AA
as I visit different churches
and in certain conversations
I’m alone
I get turned around but never lost
it seems heavy but always light
I get weary but grab hold
of the ONE Who never changes
and someday
I won’t be
alone
“The Real Deal”
happiness is a state of mind
and the only state i wanna live in
i can’t fake being happy
i can’t fake being sad
what you see is what you get
but i DO have a goal
to be more
i wanna be happy ALL the time
no matter what the circumstance
unless tragedy strikes of course
some say that’s impossible
but I say they’re wrong
from inside God’s heart
ALL things are possible
and looking inside God’s heart
there’s nothing to be unhappy about
making decisions creates a reality
and the way i react to that reality
can make a difference in the world
either good or bad
A Good Reason Not to Exercise:: Scary Dogs!!
Every once in a while, I go jogging, and today happened to be one of those whiles, and to be honest, it was a HUGE step for me, but after today’s lesson, I’m sure I’ll do it again…sooner rather than later.
This morning, my plan was to jog as far as I could in thirty minutes, but as I approached the end of the second block, my plan changed. Continue reading
“May Be”
“Coconut Water”
[written 10/14/16]
stranded
on an island
in your mind
no one
around you
no one
to care
no one
to rescue you
no one
to rescue
have you been there?
did you know how to
swim?
that’s when you learn
the trees can talk
the birds can sing
and the waves can carry on
the conversation
if you look closely
you’ll see God everywhere!
