some people control
some people pretend
some people manipulate
and some of those
are “friends”
poems
“Pupils”
I saw God tonight
in the eyes of two women
who burn with fire
in flames of prayer
who stop and go
at the sound of God’s voice
who give without asking
because of Who asked
who gave selflessly
in love
who gave selflessly
FOR Love
in the eyes of two women
I saw God tonight
“Hand in Hand”
to be known
a girl’s dream
that God makes come true Continue reading
“Counting Time”
waiting
on hold
for ten minutes
on the phone
try
waiting
four months
to be with
your husband
“Forms”
somewhere in me
I’ve learned art
is painting
so I don’t see
anything I do
as art
“whole-hearted-ly”
some people think faith
is opening their own doors
before closing others
they want that guarantee of provision
before they allow God to provide
they want to have enough saved up
before they step out in faith
they want to have all bases covered
before they’ll follow Him
but many times
He’ll shut a door
before another one opens
and sometimes
He wants YOU
to shut the door
but people wait
wait for what?
those who can’t let go
hold on to control
do you think God notices?
He looks past your job
He looks past your dreams
He looks past your circumstances
into your heart
He knows
He sees
maybe weeps
for you to let go
and follow him
“Friends”
they’re everywhere
yet
hard to find
with social media
one can see
when being left out
people choose who they want
to spend time with
to invite
they forget
but will miss
they smile
without an ear
looking forward
to being one
with my best friend
in Texas
“At One’s Level”
when
a
water
drop
falls
from
a
leaf
does
anyone
notice
besides
the
ant
“Anticipation”
tired
yet awake Continue reading
