It's a hard thing to admit. I can't deny it, though. I have always in my head loved and trusted God. But as I try and listen to what he is teaching me in this season, I can't grasp it. From January I was learning how he loves me and holds no record of wrongs, …

The Stream that is His Presence
I've been watching this docu-series online about broken brains over the past week and it has been both insightful and a bit worrisome. It has been challenging my habits and routines, causing me to evaluate how important my health is to me. Am I willing to make some hard changes and break some chains? Or …
Greater Things
I tell you the truth: whoever believes in Me will be able to do what I have done, but they will do even greater things, because I will return to be with the Father. VOICE A promise? An opportunity? A possibility? A dormant potential? A hope? A dream? An end to be fulfilled? My gift …
When You Seem Quiet, Lord
When you seem quiet, Lord You are not hiding You are beckoning me To seek you To quiet the shouting voices That demand my attention To pause, to exhale And release the clenched tightness I hold in my body. When you seem quiet, Lord I am the one who is not quiet For I have …
Keeper of My Heart – The God I Know

Continuing from where I left off - standing on my path - God invited me to settle down, to take a look around and stop frantically trying to define my path and where it was heading. Pausing right now to remember what I discovered brings back the same sensations I experienced the first time: peace, …
Great Expectations
I was all set! I had determined to be successful at writing! I studied, I invested, I sought encouragement, but alas, I found frustration, and frustration stopped me in my tracks. My struggle to understand the ways of marketing and social media promotion simply took the wind out of my sails and writing lost its …
Thankful
I want to preface this poem with the fact that I've been having a struggle with some wintertime depression and I just needed to write something to help shift my focus. I didn't worry over this being perfect, but it represents me well. Thankful If I were thankful Instead of down I'd wear a smile …
Let Your Fears Be Blown Away
God spoke And I listened, "Let your fears be blown away By My Holy Breath, Allowing the breeze To bring a calm And a refreshing." So here I sit In stillness Exhaling...releasing... Every tight place, Every anxious thought To be caught up by the wind Like the Fall leaves Scattered in a swirling frenzy. And …
