Your turn?

Peach popsicle

 Muggy and humid

Whiffleball and 

A plate

Children

Running

And screeching

As they

Go round

Sprinting

For home

Awaiting a

Peach popsicle

Battle

 I’m learning that God is the Source of my sustenance. There are some things that He is the only who knows. He’s intimately acquainted with my sorrows and pain. He gives me reason to wake up with joy even after a night of tears. I don’t know what this season is trying to teach me. I’m having to learn with every moment not to fight. There are some battles that aren’t mine to fight. I’m wanting what I can’t have. And I’m fighting my own sinful flesh with everything I am. I’m fighting myself while trying not to fight others. Maybe a contradiction. If this post seems jumbled, it’s probably because my thoughts are exactly that. Thank you for humoring me. I’m in a battle I didn’t want. 

my heart

 Lord

You keep 

Dealing 

Body blows

I guess

If dreams

Are to happen

You are

The Only Way 

It will happen

Soften my heart

Cause either

I want 

Too much

Or I’m 

Putting my faith

Where it is

Not needed

friday scene

 A little

Smile as

I look

Out the window

At goats dancing

Children playing

And green grass

Basking in

A welcome drizzle

In the Powerful Presence

 Presently

Trying to remain

In the Presence

Of the Power

Of the 

Only One

Who always 

Desires my 

Undivided attention 

Heat

 The heat is here

Already this

Summer morning

I guess

One can say

The the AC

Is my best friend 

questions

 What’s in your cart?

What are you reading?

Any summer vacations?

What is making you smile?

What are you cooking?

Nothing

Rereading old favorites

Mountains

Internet being restored

Eggs

Do

 In your arms

Is where 

I thrive

Because

You don’t fail

Even if 

I do

praise

 In the depths

You reach down

And grab me

Up from malaise

Into praise

I’m back

 Took a few days to recharge. A little mountain getaway with my best friend. It’s been awhile since I had a vacation where my soul rested. I pushed the body, then rested. I’m learning that rest is not a bad thing. I can travel, but I need rest too. I’m giving myself grace even if no one else does. I missed you all, but I missed me more. Finding myself again. Was I lost or was I just obscured from view. 

Cling to

 Learning to not

Force or chase

Or flee

Being rooted

In the promise

The one

I’ve not 

Yet seen

But cling to

Praise You

 Lord

Thank you

For this day

To simply

Praise You

forgive me

 Forgive me

May I do better

Love me

In your way

Amen

Thank you Lord

In you

 Remind me

Who I am

In you

Could use a hug and some prayers

Point

 Learning the

Hard way 

Lord

But learning

That’s the point

Day

 Another day

Another chance

To make it

Right

In the sight of 

God

moment

 Starting all over

Taking it

A moment

At a time

Knowing

The impossible 

Can become possible

No matter

The difficulty

That may 

Be in the offing

Restore

 Restore to me

Peace

Joy and contentment

Anxiety 

Has been 

My companion 

Lately

Realign

 Realign me

Let me

Realize

And appreciate 

Small joy

Until what

I want

Can be realized

Grateful

 It is taking

Longer to

Get back 

To myself

But 

YOU KNEW

I needed

To hear 

Something

To change

My direction

And You

Did

And 

I’m grateful

Your turn?

Lord

 Lord

I don’t know

What to say anymore

Mentally tired 

Physically spent

Just here today

My spirit needs

A hope it can see

And one 

It cannot

truth and trust

 Wrap me

In a hug

I can’t 

Run from 

An embrace

That spans

Time and 

A need to know

Be with me

Even if 

I knowingly

Want to jump ship

Again and again

Rein me in

For my own good

For trust is painful

Yet the ultimate

Objective 

hi

 Thank you for all your good wishes. A shot and antibiotics later, we are on the mend. Looks like R and R is on the menu. 

With that said any favorite books, magazines or movies?
