What more can be said that hasn’t been said? Language limits my emotional articulation Till I am spilling over with the unspoken, Exploding with the unexpressed! So I sit in pregnant silence waiting. Only Holy Spirit can write, can flow, Can say what is needed to fill the vacuum. I wait and He comes in […]

Giving Up
I keep giving up on myself. It’s frustrating to try and fail and Try and fail… over and over. There are days I’m convinced It’s not even worth trying, so I fail before I begin. I fall over my own obstacles, Tripping on the same traps that Haunt my feet every day. I think, “Will […]
Psalm of Grace
My hands won’t stop shaking; My insides are worse; And dread leaves me quaking, Completely submersed. Still, You speak whispers Of comfort and peace. You don’t give me answers, But always increase Your presence around me Till I come to know Perfect love dwells within me, And then the fears go. Forever You’ve held me […]

Mental Rest, part 2

David Joshua
His eyes are cautious, but his smile ready and broad– My thinker, this one… third-born and deep as the ocean. He speaks with careful honesty, not afraid to question– He forces me to rethink my stuck-in-a-rut logic and All the taken-for-granted answers require fresh answers. When he speaks, I’ve found it’s usually worth listening to, Though […]
Peace Within
Lord Jesus, I am here again and crying to be heard. I do not understand this mess; my life is so absurd. Each day you guide my friends to follow you a different way. And I must move with care so that my feet don’t go astray, But… I’ll hide beneath your shelter when the […]
Miracles…
Some days I find it better to Be still Be quiet Reserve judgement Wait and see what the day holds. These are the days I discover New thoughts New ideas Different perspectives Patience untapped in my soul. Stillness beckons my heart again To hear To listen For Love to pronounce Whispered hope that strengthens me. […]
Resolution
I resolve: To stay honest before God and man About what I feel when I feel it; To trust no matter what my emotions tell me; To remember He is God and I am not; To know the truth of His great love for me and To speak that truth to all who need Him; […]
