“The Waking Hour”
as I write
I feel
and as I feel
I write
not believing
what I feel
and not feeling
what I believe
even now
crying
not knowing where I am
not knowing where I’m going
I know there’s more
a deeper freedom residing
where I can be “me”
no matter who I’m around
that was the thing
to bring people joy
to change the atmosphere
and dream
but when every dream
becomes a nightmare
and every sleep
brings a disturbing dream
the problem lies in waking
not in sleeping
but there’s this Truth I know
woven into my heart
of being One with Him
and having hope
misery CAN’T be His plan
so I’ll fight where I stand
by letting Him lead
His way to goodness
“De-Mentions”
it’s funny
what I’d vowed to God
I’ve let slip away
how I’d wanted to be treated
what I’d wanted for my kids
where I’d wanted us to live
I thought I’d listened
through God’s heart
but as I live through my choices
I stop and wonder
if what I valued is not there
was my trust in another
if this IS God’s heart
will it get better?
mental instability
emotional insecurity
spiritul immaturity
are tough to ignore
but as one who is love
I HAVE to believe
there is hope

“When you seek and find God, all the short-cuts to “happiness” become superficial, shallow, and knowingly dissatisfying. You now embark on a journey of seeking & knowing this God that gives life, fullness, joy, and hope.”” – Jessica T.
“Change is Good”
when you become a Christian
things around you won’t be perfect
but the heart inside you will be
which makes everything around you
“different”
you become LIGHT
instead of lost in darkness
you become Love
instead of obsessed with lust
you become Peace
instead of connected to drama
you become Hope
instead of drowning in fear
there’s so much more
than just believing
it’s a transformation
from one life to the next
“It’s Not Over”
when you feel like you’ve died
and someone walks in breathing
you feel like there might be air
for you too

What you overcome today may be someone’s hope for tomorrow.
Hope Looking Back
Last night, I had the privilege of speaking to about twenty women in an AA meeting at the San Diego Rescue Mission. It turned out to be a “mandatory” meeting for these ladies, and by the looks on some of their faces, you could tell, but by the end of the meeting, I saw hope in every set of eyes looking back at me.
