Honest

 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

Mountain memories

 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

Pray

 God 

You know 

My heart

Lead

Guide 

Protect

Heal

All 

That is

On my heart

Questions

 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.

Alive

 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

Giddy

 The laughter

Ringing through

Echoing 

Sending the shivers

Of giddy delight

Must be 

Summer

Longer nights

To bathe 

In Nature’s 

Glory

Cool breezes

A cute pooch

A beautiful morning

Something my soul

Complete joy

In simplicity

🥰

 Swinging from the rooftops 

Singing from the treetops 

May the light

Shine through 

That darkness 

Tries

To cloud

Good morning

 Sipping on

My morning joe

Ready to start

The day

Getting in

My daily walk


What about you?

Friday, May 13, 2022

Pray

 I’m struggling with discipline

To eat right

To read my Bible

With conviction

And fervor 

That I give my phone

Please pray

Don’t retreat

 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

Nature

 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

Grateful

What are you grateful for today 

My mom

Jesus

A cozy bed

Blessing

 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

Mend

 The humidifier

As my only sound

I’m basking 

In the physical quiet

Hoping my mind

Receives the memo

Break my soul

So I can mend

And start all over

Back at square one

Monday

 Today 

Reminder

Progress isn’t always linear

It comes as it wishes

Not on my timetable

And purpose
