Regine
Be grateful
What you desire
Will come
Striving
Doesn’t cut it
Faith does
This weekend I saw my family in Charleston, and I learned some things
Disability has many shades and for as far as society’s come, it shocks me how much hasn’t. We are all God’s children. We’ve got to be better humans. I’ve learned that I can’t birth children, nor have the stamina to raise them, but I can love them. And that’s enough. I have to believe. This weekend I’ve had to face fears and shove away pride, but I was blessed because I let myself do just that. Thank you Lord, for letting me love others, and have them love me back. I saw a purpose in my disability, and that’s everything. I just remember that the Lord doesn’t give like the world does and I’m appreciative of the fact.
Let others love you
And love them back
Faith
Rise up
May Your strength
Be my strength
I prosper
Because
Of who
You are
Get up
And praise
For my joy
Is not contingent
On what
I can’t control
But on who
I am in
You
Love you friends
What is on your heart?
What is making you smile?
What are you making?
Last thing you bought?
Last book you read?
Some days
It’s a struggle
To be light
And love
It’s the way
I know
To get out
Self-pity
So I will smile
And be the blessing
He’s made me
To be
How may
I serve you
Today Lord
I need to believe
To keep dreaming
And keep joy
And hope alive
Pray that it’s more than possible
Lord
Let my heart
Not be dismayed
Trust in You
And let me
Filled with
A joy
Circumstance
Does not
Have a say
What is on your heart?
Last thing you cooked?
Last person who made you happy?
Last thing you bought?
Last person you prayed for? If you don’t want to answer that’s okay.
Trying to rein
In my thoughts
Is one of
The hardest things
I do
Every day
It all
Comes back
To the heart
Of who
Trust
Myself
Or
YOU
Lord
Help me
Cede my desire
To control others
When it’s difficult
To police
My own emotions
Fear
Drives or deceives
Face it
Or flee
I’ve fled
For so
Many years
Now I’m
Fueling
The fire
To see
That fear
Can do
Me good
If handled appropriately
What are you reading?
What are you buying?
What are you cooking?
What is making you smile?
How are you?
Jamming out
To Nashville’s best
Belting it out
Like I’m Reba
I know
I’m Regine
But I’m happy
To let loose
Sing a little
And let
Arms flail
Like I’m having
My own dance party
This morning
Enjoy the mundane
For it’s what
Becomes the memories
You don’t want to forget
Please pray for a friend’s child who is dealing with a possible cancer diagnosis. If you have a prayer request, leave it here. Power in prayer.
Smile wide
For you
Are awake
To seize
The day
And shine
Like the
Shooting star
You are
Blessed
Redeemed
And chosen
God’s child
The inheritance
Of eternity
That is yours
Should you
Accept
It’s Sunday night
And you
Do it again
Use a soul
I don’t know
To speak
To my own
When I start
To doubt
Or wonder why
You show up
In darkness
To show me
Light
Acceptance
I denied my need
For you
I squandered years
My stubbornness
Was a problem
I knew
The issue
I refused to face
I wanted answers
That weren’t mine
To receive
I wanted the facade
Reality
Was a burden
Or so
I thought
Once
I stopped
Seeking ease
Did truth
Set me free
Truth is
Perfection
The illusion
That destroys
Immense beauty
As I look
At myself
I’m proud
To say
I keep
Writing
Because
IT’s therapy
For a soul
That still questions
Even if
I’ve known
The answers
For a long time
Exercising the doubts
Out physically
So mentally
I can breathe
Lord
It’s your child
Regine
Intercède
On the behalf
Of those
You call Your Own
And let the
Work of Your Hands
Shine
What is your word for the year?
Enjoying reading good books and eating delightful treats. How are you?
Any prayer requests?
