Father God, I wish to be so close I can feel your breathe upon my face That your heart may beat in time to mine And I get lost within your gaze. I wish to be so close That your whisper is all I hear Cradle me within your arms Shelter me from fear. I […]

May my words fall silent If my tongue wants to lie. May my pride be exposed If I become haughty in life. May my jealousy be subdued If I envy what isn’t mine. May my anger be dissolved If I seek revenge for a wrong. May my greed be squandered If I desire selfish pleasures. […]

When struggles are present Will I remember Your name? Do I focus on all that eludes Or trust with unwavering faith? When tears are shed And fear rears its head, Do I foster those thoughts Or believe You instead? A little discomfort may be good for the soul To make me think and help me […]

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. […]

Many times it’s come to mind… “Your tears are o.k. here” he said, so kind. I’m always afraid to let them fall to allow these feelings which are so raw. I have permission to just be myself insecurity and weakness revealed, no doubt. To become that vulnerable and stripped of my pride it frightens and […]

I may fear, but will not fail To win this fight that is so real. I will soar although, I crawl Can’t keep me down though, I may fall. My reward is heaven bound Real treasure here is never found. Give me comfort, give me peace Help me Jesus, help me please!

The truth you did not want to hear Though you acted most sincere You coaxed and claimed it was safe You pledged acceptance – I showed my face! So, my story I did reveal Not all, but parts enough to seal The fate you chose to then bestow Upon my heart and my soul. Quick […]

To live as gently as I can; To be, no matter where, a man; To take what comes of good or ill And cling to faith and honor still; To do my best, and let that stand The record of my brain and hand; And then, should failure come to me, Still work and hope […]

The Bible is chucked full of so many verses which instruct us to give Him thanks and praise at ALL times, and yes my friends, that means even during times of suffering. God is good and never changing, which makes Him worthy of our praise no matter what and in every circumstance. Did I lose […]

Have you ever gone through times when you did not have very much of… well, anything? I am not speaking of those things that we do not need yet greedily seek, never being content with what we have. I am talking about just your basic necessities not being met. Have your struggles ever been so […]

I am so broken Falling apart A thousand pieces Strewn like art. In my weakest moments I cannot see Grief and despair Paint a canvas of pity. I may look a mess But I guarantee I have value and purpose The eye cannot see. It is easy to forget The Artist’s vision of me I’m […]
