Inner Peace
With Me
With Me Here beside You, I am known. You have the words I cannot find. You know the truths I will not speak. You offer me peace I thought was out of reach. You are my warmest companion, my perfect joy.
Giving Back
Giving Back As You've blessed me,help me be a blessing to others.Show me what I can bringto the table so someone elsecan have a better quality of life.Help me to share what I have,even if it's just my time, so that I knowthere's a child who can sleepin a warm bed tonight,or a senior who will have a good meal,at least for today.
Radical Trust
Radical Trust It usually forces itself upon me,because I'd never choose the discomfortthat comes with beingcompletely out of control.I feel utterly humbled bythe hardness of circumstance,and depleted of the ability to fix it.But I trust in Your certaintyand become consumed by calmness.Ultimate reassurance cradles me.Radical trust in You changes...
Aunt Flo
Aunt Flo Every month, like clockwork (we hope),the crimson tide comes calling.Causing pain, bloating, mood swings and cravings,throwing plans for a loop and outlawing white from our wardrobes.It's a curse and a blessing all at once.Please remind me to carry supplies at all timesand to remember its pending arrival when scheduling dates.Until Your holy decree stems the tide,may...
Refreshed
Refreshed Breathe when all else fails,Breathe to reconnect.In the freshness of the air,You are there taking meto my final place, for today,we are ending on a noteof kindness and grace.
Pray in Many Ways
Pray in Many Ways I pray when I am fearful.I pray when I am in need.I sing praise to You.I lift up my hands, my heart, my soul. Please take me beyond myselfand help me recognize the prayers of others,from eyes raised skywardto heads humbly bowed,from whispers in quiet cornersto voices spiraling...
Follow Through
Follow Through I started a writer’s workshop in my area last night. It’s actually the same writer’s workshop I had started right before getting pregnant but then life smacked me around a bit and I was too busy changing diapers to worry about changing voice in a novel manuscript. Sure, I’m a little black and blue but the bruises are healing and I’ve decided to keep life from bullying me once...
Sacred Space

Allow us a portion of Your eminent...
All in One
All in One When I’m weak, You are my strength.When I’m afraid, You are here.When I’m sad, You are my joy.When I’m in despair, You are my hope.When I’m alone, Your presence stays.When I stumble, You catch me.When I don’t understand, You are my Teacher.When others hurt, You are my Healer.
There is More
There is More There is a pattern to sunlightdancing soft shadowsacross the morning trees.There is an order, even to the current,flowing towards tumbling waterfalls.There is destiny based on choices,and a calling to those who search.There is more here than even a poetcan pen at dawn, and a philosophercan...
Truly Giving
Truly Giving Sometimes,I don't want to hearwhat is being saidso clearly to me. The solutionI've already devisedtakes less timeand isn't as much trouble. Help me to see,that to give,as You would have me give,means dipping intowhat I'd rather keep.
Gazing Outward
Gazing Outward Whether we are reachingfor the last sale itemor helping someone in need,it is far too easyto get wrapped up in ourselves.We fail to see the other person,complete with their own needs,their own wants,their own fears.Please help me to turn my gazeto You so that I can look outward and upwardtoward something bigger than...
Following My Own Path
Following My Own Path... After My Mom As Thanksgiving approaches, like many of you, I’ve been giving thought to what I’m thankful for. I love that I get to work from home. I’m incredibly grateful that we are able to make ends meets. I’m also thankful to be able to host my friends and my son’s friends at mealtime.
