Memorial Day Tribute

May 30, 2016

I cannot visit your graves this year; Your lives which ended so I could stay here. A price that was paid like Christ on the cross, Most never realizing how much it has cost. But, in my heart you’ll always stay kindred Spirits, souls find their way. My tears, unashamed, freely fall may we remember […]

Myself, I have picked up off the floor Anguish and torture, you’ll have me no more Twisting and writhing, my soul you kept Until nearly I drown… Finally, I leapt. Soul Seeds… Somebody, somewhere is depending on you to do what God has called you to do. Never forget that.

This is why I will continue to write. This is why I speak. This is why I must finish my book. This is the only reason I am so willing to put it all out there… For you to hear, to see, to feel. This is my story yet, once told it becomes His story, which […]

Pain and pride Are in our stride Shouldered to protect Innocent lives Despair and grief For all we’ve seen Righteous anger For some who lead Power and money Can corrupt good souls Tempting the best To lose control So, a license to achieve By whatever means Tests our faith And all we believe As we […]

Do not tell me I am beautiful If my scars you have not seen… The scars on my arms and legs From being stabbed and cut with blades, The scars on my back from being whipped, Or the scars across my stomach from being sick Do not tell me I am beautiful Not until you […]

The road to SUCCESS is not straight. There are curves called FAILURE A loop called CONFUSION Speed bumps called FRIENDS Red lights called ENEMIES Caution lights called FAMILY And you will have flats called JOBS.

Teach me to walk slower, Lord So that I may truly see All of the wonderful treasures You have given me. Teach me to take the time, Lord To stop and smell the flowers For, I can never rewind my life Or relive the hurried hours. Teach me to think before I speak, Lord Lest, […]

You Can Run But You Can’t Hide! Have you ever tried to play ‘Hide and Seek’ with God? Are you playing the game with Him right now? If so, how is that going for you? I’m just going to take a wild guess and say, “I bet you’re losing!” If we “run” like Jonah and “do” like […]

My head remains down and focused at His feet as the surrounding fire rages all around me. I replace my vision of the struggle with a vision of the cross instead. I do not see the struggle ~ I see Christ who has already conquered the struggle. I am choosing not to focus on the […]

Insecure… as a little girl. I love mommy and daddy, I silently cry As I shake and tremble throughout the night Always praying they will hold me tight. Naked images all around Sex in my home is something foul It makes a grown man big and proud To use his women and throw them around. […]
