Honest post here.
Envy
Those four letters
Give me pause
An anxiety
For I suffer
From it
Started at sixteen
Medically unable
To drive
Now to social media
Seeing the destinations
That capture my imagination
And I’ve not seen yet
I know I’m in
A waiting season
And I’m having
To trust
What I don’t understand
About myself
I’m no longer
Seeking the answer
I just want to learn
What I was too stubborn
To do
Long ago
Honoring your sacrifice today. Thank you is never enough.
Some pieces of my heart came to visit this weekend. While I don’t have children of my own, I claim my nephews and niece as my own. They are a true joy. Before they and their parents left we took a little trip to the North Carolina mountains for lunch in Saluda, NC. There is something about an old-timey Main Street that makes my heart smile.
Mountains
Bring the
Cool breeze
And majesty
That makes
You put
The phone down
Embrace
The curves
In the road
And cherish
Ordinary moments
What is on your heart?
What is making you smile?
What are you reading?
The children. The faces are etched in my soul forever. Search your souls. Jesus loves the children. He states it plainly. Search your motives.
A good book. Fresh fruit. Snail mail. Unexpected gifts. Each day is an unexpected gift. I make plans, and God just shakes His head. You all make me smile. The way you love me is so extraordinary. Thank you.
I’m reading Jayci Lee’s books. They are some of my favorites. She’s an AAPI author. I can’t say this enough. Get to know others different than yourself. You’ll be forever changed for the better.
Blessings and love one another today.

I have no words today.
Look upon us Lord
Grant me peace
Where there is
No understanding
Search your hearts
Your souls
Dig deep
Because today
It is a privilege
To be alive
The laughter
Ringing through
Echoing
Sending the shivers
Of giddy delight
Must be
Summer
Longer nights
To bathe
In Nature’s
Glory
Swinging from the rooftops
Singing from the treetops
May the light
Shine through
That darkness
Tries
To cloud
What is making you smile?
Any wins this week?
What are you reading?
What are you making?
What are you baking?
My poodle
Finding a bathing suit
Asian authors
A victory journal
Nothing at the moment
I’m struggling with discipline
To eat right
To read my Bible
With conviction
And fervor
That I give my phone
Please pray
What are you reading?
What are you sending?
What are you ordering?
What are you thinking?
What is bringing you joy?
I must forgive myself
To free myself
From a shame
I don’t deserve
I’m reclaiming
The promise
Of Jesus
Who came
To replace
The perfectionist
That resides in me
Quiet my mind
Still the soul
Replace fear
Of mistakes
And rejection
With pride
For conquering
Not retreating
Just sitting in silence
Remembering when
To fight
When to stop
When to meditate
Leave it in prayer
For when
I don’t understand
I get mad
And anger
Is an emotion
That leaves
Me in disarray
I’m coming undone
Knowing what worked
Years ago
Doesn’t cut it now
I still see injustice
But I can’t let others pain
Destroy my peace
I’m to pray
Do what I can
And leave it
In hands
More capable
Than my own
My mental state
On a razor’s edge
On a wave
On the shores
Of Oahu
Riding atop
The white caps
Basking on the highs
Of nature’s beauty
I want to be grateful
No matter the fact
That I’m befuddled
Most of the time
They only thing
I know
Is that I’m His
And for today
That’s enough
Love the life
You have
In war torn nations
Quiet is a blessing
