“Remote Control”

when you’re complete with God’s love
nothing else’s needed
when you know who you are
the mirror’s your friend

this move’s been a battle
that I’ve taken personally
but it’s not against “me”
it’s to tear down the Kingdom

but that’s not happening
not today
not tomorrow
not on MY watch

before I’m a mother
before I’m a wife
before I’m a friend
I’m a mighty woman of god

and this mighty woman
plans on winning every battle
because the Joy of the Lord
is my Strength

“Heaven’s Menu”

[written 7/10/16]

there’s something about laughter
that brings the enemy down

I picture laughter
sounding like
nails on a chalkboard
to the enemy

when we got to Texas
depression was heavy
lingering above us
dripping in our minds

one by one
we were silent
consumed with the sound
of the drip

one by one
we pulled out of it
and turned off
the spout

except Nathan

he’s been so sad
through it all

until last night

waiting at Denny’s for food
but being fed by Heaven
all it took
was one incident

and we were rolling!

abs sore
tears falling
laughter rising

Nathan came home
a different person
and Snapchat viewers
got a few laughs


I’d like to explain this poem a little. Continue reading

“Prideful End”

when I think of our country
I think of “est”
seems someone
always wants the name

funniest
truest
bloodiest
deadliest

there’s so much profit
from tragedy
so much pain
in the rally

I’m not one to write
about things in this world
normally
just what I’m going through

but the here and now
is to be expected
because Pride seems to reign
in many hearts

for many years
races, religions
and organizations
have removed God

and then wonder
why the devastation
God’s NOT in control
WE are

so what will people do
pray?
gossip?
berate?

one nation
over God
divisible
with chains and deception
for all?

not in my heart!

“Hitchhiking”

I’ve traveled beyond
where I’ve gone
fast forwarding to know
Your Will

not waiting for Your lead
not balancing in Your light
but tripping in the field

as I close my eyes
and open my heart
I see Love
all the way through

“Horizontal Leaps”

to know You
is to love You
every breath of doubt
every thought of doom
every shadow of sadness
won’t stand up
to You

as I’ve trusted before
I trust again
the calling
the plans
the dance
of my life
now teach me to trust
