Creator God of chaotic splendor speaks And angels rush to do his bidding. They sweep the clouds into glorious formations While the rain beats a steady rhythm. Lightning spikes across the horizon. The distant thunder builds a solid foundation Creeping softly in through the storm Till it rages and roars with passionate voice… Shouting the […]
Focus
Focus on You? Clutter obfuscates every effort- From fragments of failures To clashing communication lines Clouding my concentration. You… Seem so obvious and easy, Then circumstances trip me. Sin entangles me. Emotions choke the life out of me, But… You… Are LIFE- Living Water, Bread of Life, Holy Hope eradicating despair, Sustenance feeding my Faith. […]
Never More Than He
I wonder sometimes if I will find calm again, Some stillness in the middle of turmoil. I am used to being tossed and buffeted about. I find peace on the inside when all outside Says there should be none, Then the unexpected pierces my heart again In the old places of pain and I am […]
Expression
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 […]

Feathers Falling
I feel the sweetness of your mercy Like feathers falling from the wings of love. I rest beneath the breath of life Blowing on my deadness, Resurrecting pieces of my heart Until I’m whole again– United in a reverent fear of You. Forgive me, Lord, For letting all the stuff of life Sidetrack my intimacy […]
Transitions
So many goodbyes So many hellos I’m weary of changes Weary of losing loved ones No energy to love new friends But I keep trying The gaps need filling More absences More additions It’s all so confusing sometimes Sapping my strength with cold While the warmth barely suffices But I keep moving Just to stay […]
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 […]
