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
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…
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
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…

Grace
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
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
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 […]
The Beckoning
Where are your hearts, my beloved bride? When you stand here and sing, Are you focused on Me? Are you truly grateful for My grace, My provision, My mercy, My love? When you say you love Me, Do you put your heart behind the words? I long for you to come all the way in, […]
