It’s not what you’re thinking.

Yesterday morning, Nathan wanted to take Mentos to school because they’re allowed to eat them during testing, so we stopped at Food4Less to pick some up. Do you ever have trouble deciding what to buy? Nathan was quick about it, but I was in the snack aisle, debating. Later on, I wondered if my debate was all part of God’s plan to put me in the right place at the right time.

As we headed out of the store Continue reading

“Hope”

I never thought
anyone would want to read
what I had to say

I never thought
anyone would look at me
and see purity

I never thought
I’d look in the mirror
and like what I see

I never thought
I’d dance with flags
in front of a church

I never thought
I’d be able to sleep
without a drink

I never thought
I’d want my kids
to grow up like me

I never thought
I’d wait till my wedding day
to be kissed

I never thought
I’d ever start
my own business

I never thought
anyone would want to read
what I had to say

but Jesus knew it all

 

“A Place to Grow”

Honor
easier given
or received

Honor
not a bad thing
calls goodness to the front

Honor
releases
empowers
commissions

Honor
touches deep wounds
healing in love

Honor
fills hearts with joy
sings into every cell

Honor
creates a bond
deeper
than known before

Honor
continues to move
continues to raise up

Honor
easier given
or received

“Stepping Out of the Tomb”

What may look broken to you
may be breakthrough for me

If you know me, you’ll see

my dance is pure
my heart is holy
my walk is upright

I have integrity
and know my created value

What may look broken to you
may be breakthrough for me

When Jesus rose from the grave
breakthrough happened

It’s all about seeing that

believing that
knowing that
walking in that

Truth

What may look broken to you
may be breakthrough for me

“Seasons of Heaven”

crawling out of darkness
smoke had filled the air
clearing away
revealing vision
clearer than before

kneeling
discovering
standing
walking

to a place that looks different

with familiar faces
that acquainted before
but become closer
in the picture of life

uniting
swaying
supporting
growing

when seasons change
the weather blends
to create an atmosphere
that matches the season
until Jesus

promises
hope
Peace
understanding

Jesus living
creates an atmosphere of heaven
in every season
every circumstance
every moment

breakthrough
believing
receiving
victory

of standing tall
with smoke underneath
breathing with ease
sleeping in rest
seeing with clarity

The Color of Love

In everyone’s life, the color of love has a different hue, a different shade, a different look that capture’s the eye, a heart, a smile. God is constantly painting the picture of my life, and love takes on a different color all the time, but let me share with you what it looks like now. Continue reading

Clean Socks

A couple years ago, a friend called and asked if she could come over for prayer. As we were sitting on my bed, she started crying…weeping…bawling. In moments like those, rising to grab tissue may interrupt the Holy Spirit, so normally, I let the tears be wiped away, but this time, she “really” needed something more than a hand, and right next to me was a basket of clean laundry. I asked her, “Want a sock; it’s clean?” At the sound of that question, she lost it.
