Toilet Talk A single request—excruciatingly simple:relieve me.The plumbing of a human beinghas pipes, valves and openingsworking in sync withfood I eat and liquids I drink.
Mapquest
Mapquest I stand at an intersection in the journey of life,paths stretch before me with agonizing choice.Which way to turn?No route seems clear.Mists of uncertainty shroud my view.Please show me the way.Take my hand and lead me on the roadthat you would have me travel.Please help me see the green light to my future.
Warp and Weft

Apology

I Am Enough
I Am Enough I need material things to make me feel special.With more, I know I would be worthy.I want it my way and my way now!What is really going on?I want to feel connectedto my friends,family and You.

Priceless Gifts
Priceless Gifts
Humility
Humility Humble me.Make me small enough to fit on the head of a pin,lest I believethat Your deeds are mine.All the good I accomplishpours forth from You;I am merely a vessel.And when I know this fully,there will be no diminishment,only awe.
Tough Times
Tough Times If I ever needed You before,I surely need You right now.It is too much pain for me to bear,I can’t make it without You.Please hear my prayer:Thank You for being my anchor,nothing can move me today.Thank You for making me sensitive,I know it will be okay.You are inside of me.My spirit will be...
Perfect Place to Be

Mind Games

Coal into Diamond
Coal into Diamond It takes years of pressure to turn a piece of coalinto a sparkling diamond.Thank You for second chances, and open hearts.Allow me a chance to grow in faith.Surround me with light and hope as we walk into the future...
Reflections
Reflections I look in the mirror and see a jumble of flaws.Please, help me see myself as You see me:Perfect. Whole. Capable.Help me to view my defects as potential,my awkwardness as a different beauty.Prevent me from self-harm,and from habits that bring me shame.Help me to accept myself as I am,just as You do,with limitless kindness and forgiveness.
Recognition of Beauty
Recognition of Beauty I won't spend one more day in fear.Today I will not be limited bynegative thoughts that gobble up the dayand don't allow me to recognize the beauty around me.Today I will be freed of unrealistic expectationsthat lead to disappointment and self-pity.
Difficult Job
Difficult Job I will not expecta pat on my backfor doing a good job.I will go beyondwhat people are expecting.Every step I takeis an opportunity.When others doubt me,my faith will be my victory.
Why Am I Here?
Why Am I Here? I haven't discovered my purpose yet.My friends are so busy with their own.They seem content while I am forever searchingfor that one thing that will fill my being.You have a plan for me.May I only receive your will in my mind.
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.
Flower Power
Flower Power May flowers: a verb.It opens up to rain and sun alternately, taking both, needing both to grow.Expose me to the lessonsthat May flowers know:There is goodness to be gleanedfrom both trials and triumphs,sun and rain.Both will come in the weeks ahead.I am ready.
Ready and Willing
Ready and Willing I fall short, but You are my help.I am no angel, but I look to You.I am not strong, but You are unshakable.I may not be perfect, but I am willing.For in my weakness, I have Your grace.For tough decisions, I have Your Spirit.For every need, I have You.
As I Dine
As I Dine As I sit down to this meal, I thank You for the gift of this day and the opportunities it brings, opportunities to live and love and grow in Your light.
Rejuvenation
Rejuvenation Awake to a damp, cloudy morn;rain imminent.Take a breath of thick, heavy air.I don't ask for sunshine,just a bright perspective of this day.The rains pour down.Rains that cleanse the mind, the air;rains that nourish every living thing.Including me.
Looking Ahead
Looking Ahead Hope is the thought of a hand pressedto the small of my back when Iam old and need help up the steps.Love is the sight of someone peelingan orange for two, a brightsweet Sunday morning smell.And, may I not forget:Patience is believing all thisshall arrive in one momentthat I have yet to meet.
Faith Focused
Faith Focused Help me to build upon the faiththat you've grown in me,and to use it as an exampleand a testament to You.Teach me that I can overcome,or at least endure, through it all.

Deflated
Deflated I am broken-hearted.My spirit is crushed.My energy depleted.I want to feel whole againto feel hope, not hurt.With Your grace and goodnesschange is near.
Knees on the Ground
Knees on the Ground Not a catchy songfrom an idolized show.Just a simple reflectionupon genuflection andhow difficult it's becomewith each passing yearto bend and re-straightenwithout a cringe and a sigh.Sometimes my kneestake it upon themselvesto voice their displeasure;
