Process

Posted on by Cara

It’s hard to take my hands off. I want to fix it, make it right, Force the issue… But You are God, and I am not. Please, Lord… Help me trust You, though I can’t see How it will turn out… How I will turn out… Make me hungry and thirsty for You again Until […]

Disconnectedness

Posted on by Cara

Disconnectedness… In a positive light this time… Is the important factor in letting go— Letting go of old things!!! It’s like breaking the circuit, So negative energy can’t continue to flow through, So we can plug into a new, positive Source of energy that can light us up, Empower us to move forward Without all […]

Letting Go

Posted on by Cara

My heart unwinds like tinsel from the Christmas tree, Still clinging tight to all I thought that I could be; Yet somehow You have drawn me out so tenderly– I’m humbled once again by how You care for me. Lord, take me in Your arms and help me cling to You More tightly than I […]

Articulating…

Posted on by Cara

I am finding it difficult to articulate All the different mishmash of thoughts about My spirituality, my spiritual walk with God, My perceptions of spiritual reality versus My perceptions of the world I function in. The Light shines in the darkness and The darkness can never conquer it! I saw light shining out from the […]

unmerited favor

Posted on by Cara

In my own weakest moments, I have never wondered if God exists. I have never ceased being grateful for all the things He has already done for me. But I do frequently wonder why He loves me, and I am often convinced that I do not deserve any action by Him on my behalf. Then […]

When It Come To…

Posted on by Cara

When it comes to faith, Let us be known as a people of faith— Not just creeds we spout by rote, But lives lived in proclamation of Who God is and that He lives… Through us, not just in us. When it comes to hope, Let us be known as a people of hope— Not […]

Sonorous Silence

Posted on by Cara

A deep, thrumming harmonic chord permeates the sonorous silence — Not audible to the ear, but filling my heart and spirit with Presence… You are the Music of the Universe, O God! You lift me above myself in these moments of meditation When I can be still and hear You. You’re an ocean overflowing my […]

Grace

Posted on by Cara

Author’s note: I don’t recall ever feeling quite so reluctant to share one of my poems before. I know this is quality stuff. I read it at church last week and a former English teacher practically gushed about it. Still, for some reason…I dunno. I’m mainly doing it because I feel I ought to, and […]

Anvil of God

Posted on by Cara

Men’s souls are shaped on the anvil of God under the pressure of circumstance. It is only by bathing ourselves in the fire of His presence that we can become malleable enough to be molded into the shape He designed for us from the very beginning. Being hammered upon without enough heat to enable change […]

My Weakness, Your Strength

Posted on by Cara

In moments when I hit a wall, Find I cannot move forward one more step, I can only throw myself at Your feet, God, To discover again the incredible Depth of Your unfathomable mercy. I face my shortcomings, Knowing that in and of myself There is no amount of will and determination That will ever […]
