I think, for me, one of the greatest gifts is when my kids get along.
Last night, we celebrated my birthday early, and that didn’t happen, and (at least) one of them is still upset. You know how I can tell?
For every birthday, my oldest son, Kyle, wakes that person up at midnight to wish them a happy birthday.
He didn’t wake me up. 💔
some days
my tears whisper
some days
my tears scream
When I write, I feel. I write “because” I feel, and right now, I’m not feeling so hot, and I know, for me, how God comforts me as I write, so I’m going to lay it all out.
If you don’t want to read about tears, I suggest you move on because as they run down my face, I’ll explain my heart. Continue reading
Yesterday, Carolyn had her last band competition in LA, which was too far for me to travel: I didn’t have the money or the gas, so we both knew I wouldn’t’ve been able to make it, and since we’ve been bonding a lot lately, that was hard on both of us.
She was supposed to arrive back at the school at 1:00 AM, so before I went to bed, I set my alarm, and before I did that, I sent her a text of how I loved her.
After ten, she responded with what a hard day it had been. She’d endured it with pain and tears. She was tired and couldn’t wait to be home, and in her text, she put, “Mom, you don’t even know,” so I knew there was more to her day than just pain. Continue reading
Tears could write a book of their own.
Last night, I’d planned a date night with my daughters, but God had a different plan, so I followed it and had an amazing evening!
On my way to pick up Carolyn, Katie called to let me know that she was unable to get the evening off of work and forgot to tell me. When I reached Carolyn and asked if she wanted to invite someone else. She mentioned a friend, so we tried to reach him.
Although we were a little short on time, God didn’t seem to mind and made everything work out perfectly. We were all able to eat and get to the Rock before the concert began. It ended up our seats were taken, so we had to settle for better seats. It was perfect!
So, let me tell you a little bit about Carolyn’s friend. Continue reading
it’s so tempting to want
when you’re alone
I got up to write
because the tears started flowing
and the words of their song
speak of loneliness Continue reading
you ever have those moments
where you can’t stop crying
but it’s not bad
it’s intimate
each tear drop
leaves a stream
for others to follow
something was unlocked yesterday
I’ve felt it all day
people need to hear
people need to know
people need streams to follow
to freedom
so I haven’t felt well
slept for hours
and was eating top ramen
envisioning homemade soup
I thought
it’s the same but different
then I thought
no it’s not
and began to cry Continue reading
