I used to be a Christian on the outside
but inside
the truth was a lie
Friends, Not Idols
Okay, guess what I did yesterday? I cried, but it was a good thing.
Yesterday morning, as I was packing a lunch for me and possibly Lee, I realized I needed to go shopping, which I did last night, but I totally ended up taking a “snack-lunch” (instead of a “sack” lunch (ha ha)): watermelon, popcorn, chips, pretzels, and hard boiled eggs, but it was so good, and I didn’t have to eat alone.

As a mother…
Learning to love
not loving to learn

children crushed by my life
raised in darkness

Love Covers Violation
For three years, since I moved into this place, I’ve left my car unlocked in the driveway. The street has always been safe, until now.
Yesterday morning, when I reached the car to leave for work, I realized someone had been in it: glove box junk taken out, napkins and cigarette ashes on the seat, cd holder open, etc. The only thing worth taking (for a non believer) was the loose change, which the person took. Immediately, I thought, “This won’t affect me. I know who I am in Christ,” and carried on with my morning.
I warned Katie what happened, told her to be careful, and left for work. As I was talking to God, I realized…it affected me, Continue reading
“My Dance with Jesus”
When the music begins
it warms my heart
and I think of the
way You love me
I unravel my flags
and lift them to fall
in the romance I have
with You
As the silk flutters
and flows through the air
I’m reminded of
how You see me:
Beautiful ~ untouched by the pains of this world
because I’m covered in Your love
Wholesome ~ a virgin of the heart waiting for love
purified by the flow of Your blood
Loving ~ becoming like You more and more
as I listen to the hearts that need You
What You’ve done in my life
pours through every move
and renews every moment
I dance:
in Your sight
through Your heart
in my mind
Watch me, LORD
Dance with me
Receive my honor and praise
for the way You
mold me into Your love
and release me to
change the world
