I love not knowing what will happen.
Because it gives me divine mystery.
It allows me to hope & dream,
and to have my expectations
exceeded
And I learn that as I swim away
from the shore,
I can always rest on my back.
Safely floating.
And the waves will carry me,
because as beautiful as
the unknown is,
one thing is certain...
**the waves will come.
God's plan is always better.
Always
always
always!

"Where your heart is therein lies your treasure."
He said.
"Is yours the kind you can take with you in death?"
He said.
And I prayed,
"Bury me in Your word.
That I may have Treasure all my days.
Bury me in Your word, God.
That I may have You in all my ways."
Because I cannot do this alone.
I never did but thought I was,
and so what did I become?
A woman of nothing
until He showed me His blood.
And I don't want to learn anything
but His love.
I don't have the thirst for knowledge
I was once made of.
I don't want to know anything
but His love.
I will love you.

Just Me
He said they are sad. Far to gloomy.

The poems I write so negative and finger pointing.

He sees only pain and anger. He sees for him no future.

I'm broken. He broke me, that's what he reads.

But the emotions that haven't made it to paper, aren't because they don't exist.

They haven't made it, because I haven't found them yet.

Love is the the only thing worth living for. That's what I tell my kids.
The very best thing in the world, that's what I say.

So when my poems seem dark and lonely it's because my heart feels so strongly about love that I haven't a way to explain all the joy, pride, and fulfilment my loved ones bring.

He said it's mean, the poems I write and he thinks I can't see the light.

My heart is beyond happy my loved ones make it so, he doesn't realize that darkness, is just what flows.

I'll find the words, hopefully soon so he knows I love him & my family to.
This is for my loved ones that read my poems. I know how miserable I may seem, but I'm just me. I may be the dark, but your are my light.

I guess I get unimpressed
by most of which I read.
Even my own writings,
knowing fully how that seems.
A bit depressing to hear these tidings,
that tug gently at my seams.
Misery always seems inviting
on this side of the screen.
Where is the romance in delighting
of life and all its wonderful dreams?  
Am I the only one to get excited
at things I cannot see?
I cannot be the only one to share
what I believe.
I promise more awaits you than
lusting over sorrow
and feeling in between.
I dare you to live.

I think I'm meant to tell you
how a relationship with God can be.
It doesn't mean there's something
wrong with yours,
just that maybe He wants you to see.

The depths one can go to
upon surrendering to being free.
Trust me, in this there is peace.

I sat here waiting to have a conversation,
writing notes that I had been putting off
on the subject of the speed of light, so boring
I almost blew it off...
And I couldn't remember the poem
that earlier I had been trying to write.
Then like a wave it hits me,
exactly when it is right.
As the song playing at random said,
"love is moving faster than the speed of light
changing, rearranging my design."

I was sent here to tell you
Jesus is more than a lifeline.
He is your best friend of forever,
loving you like a juggernaut
all the time.

He talks to me in every breath I take,
it just took some amount of time.
For me to learn to listen,
that was a fatal problem of mine...
And once I opened up,
surrendered all I considered mine
He took over like an ocean
drowning my heart
with a love
so
divine.

Now He is in everything I do.
For I couldn't even form these words,
if He did not want to reach you.
And there's power in that realization,
Who am I? Who are you?
We are sons and daughters of His
chosen to be a part of creation!
Isn't that the sweetest news?
thank you.
