I love learning from God
but at the same time
feel I don’t know what I’m doing
I never learned how to blog
worship flags
My Wedding
Okay, this isN’T a cry for a husband.
As I’m making flags, I thought about my wedding. Some things will be very different. Continue reading
Hemmed In
Yesterday, as I was making flags, God was speaking to me about the silk of the thread being woven into the material around the weight, and He was relating it with Christ to the church and the husband in the home. I’m not even sure how this will all flow because it doesn’t feel very complete in my head, but God’s telling me to write about it, so we’ll see what happens. Continue reading
“Open”
open my mind
to close
open my heart
to hear
open my ears
to see where You are
so close
so present
so near
open my mind
to close
open my heart
to hear
open my ears
to see where You are
so close
so open
so near
A Dance in Glory
Many times, I’m told that people were drawn to look at me while I was dancing with flags, but as soon as they caught themselves, they apologized to God and looked away, but I’m not totally convinced that watching people worship’s a bad thing. Countless times, I’ve found myself watching others worship because of they way they were worshiping; it had drawn me deeper into the heart of God.
Last night, I had an amazing time dancing with God during worship. Youknow, the phrase for my business is “worship flags that release God’s glory.” That phrase was written for a reason, and I believe people are drawn the glory I’m dancing in, not necessarily me.
I picture it this way: everything God’s done in me and through me pours into my dance, and it gives Him glory, which He gives right back to me. I think THAT’s what people see. Although, I could be wrong. I’ve just heard many people have repented for watching me during worship, and I’m not sure they need to.
“Blooming Late”
sometimes I feel
as if I’ve started too late
what prize have I become
at this age
sometimes I feel
as if I’m failing to sell flags
because of struggle
at this age
sometimes I feel
as if my house
will always be messy
at this age
and then I remind myself
“feelings aren’t truth”
God, Who cannot lie
reminds me to stay
young in faith
wise in decisions
holy in living
He doesn’t see my age
He doesn’t see past sin
He doesn’t see my house
He looks at my heart
and likes what He sees
I’m not afraid to press through
I’m not afraid to move forward
I’m not afraid to grow up in His heart
I’m not afraid to become love
feelings aren’t sin
actions have potential to be
although I “feel” at times
I’m the only one missing out
on the freedom inside of me
living through feelings
is NOT Kingdom Living
living through Truth
IS
Ointment of Fear
You know, some days are for reaching out to others, but every once in awhile, I feel God reaching in to me, and yesterday was one of those days.
In mid-morning, I was reminded about a feeling I had the previous day while on outreach, a feeling of longing for a husband. As I was reminded of the feeling, I experienced it all over again, so I decided to ignore it and wash dishes. It didn’t work. Continue reading

Balancing Act
I know someone out there needs encouragement to keep faith because of what God is having me write about today, so I hope that some of the words that person reads will bless them to look at things a little bit differently and to walk by faith, not by what they see or have.
Okay, so I’m not the best at balancing on paper, so I usually do it all in my head. When you’re running a business, that may not be the best thing to do, and at times, if I’m unsure about what I have in the bank and think it may be low, I won’t even look because the moment I look, I’m usually filled with fear, so I balance in my head and move forward.
