A drive from “home” to “less”
thank God for traffic…more time

Desiring to be done but not wanting to move
Desiring to move on but not wanting to leave
Desiring to do more but not wanting to volunteer
Desiring to grow but not wanting to learn
Desiring to be done but not wanting to move
As a mother…
Learning to love
not loving to learn
a broken past
children crushed by my life
raised in darkness
but now live in Light
As a daughter… Continue reading
kneeling
in shame
afraid to look up
kneeling
in sorrow
not knowing how to live
kneeling
to teach
face to face – eye to eye
kneeling
to listen
to the small voice that cries
kneeling
in awe
of being loved by Him
kneeling
in Reverence
of Who He is: I AM
broken
like the wind
not knowing where to blow
hiding
in the stillness
or the shadows
darkness Continue reading
The price You paid
for me to walk this way
to follow You

The blood You shed
for me to be set free
to follow You

Loved through life
Loved through death
Rose for us
to become Love
When faith is lost
and hope is gone
and no one comes around
what happens
Is that when people
fall into despair
seclude from others
and get lost in their mind
Is that when death
creeps in and
strangles the life
out of the heart
Is that when sadness
overwhelms every thought
and depression becomes
a weight that sinks the soul
Is that when tears
flood the inside
drowning the future
of becoming real
Is that when laughter
becomes buried
and smiles become
a thought never expressed
Never be afraid to be a friend
Never be afraid to give a smile
Never be afraid to say a prayer
It may restore hope
It may restore faith
It may restore life, a life worth living
