Read..let it…

I kept thinking there was a trap door

somewhere...and I missed something. How could it be that God would love me How could it be that He could see the mess that I have called my life but look at…

a baby,

a Son,

a King,

a servant

a man

God.

a birth

already born

a death

destined for

a love that never fails

Truth that always prevails

a Way

to peace

to the peace 

we seek

in the dark

…

I haven't written in a while,

My words have been sitting in a pile.

I've been in a pit,

but I'm getting out of it.

The Son has shone 

His light on the mess

that lies all around me...but still…

Do you know when it’s too late for tomorrow?

When you don’t have Grace

- Life is too short

Grace is the rain and the sun on my feet

As I run..It puts the smile on my face

Enduring pain…

I am squirming in the pit,

BUT – You are higher.

I am digging through the earth

But, You are stronger.

I am singing in the wind

You still hear me.

Climbing, climbing

a breath is perspiring

A weight A…

Faith like a rock

Faith like a rock

doesn't cower

It towers

  over the tiny, tiny, tiny

         ant hills

         that are our circumstances

It stands still

   when the earth shakes

It climbs forward

   It stands

    It stands

when everything…

There's a lightness in 

space that I don't understand..

Gravity on Earth pulls everything to the ground - 

It's heavy like sand.

My heart ticks like

the water going down the bathtub drain.

There's a cloud of madness,

but I'm…

The painted walls

say my name

- I love you

They're all the same

though the pattern reveals

a hand

delicate and firm.

I let it slide 

back and forth

in my mind

Allow me 

    to visit

     the time when…

You're trying to move me 

    out of this place of rest.

I won't awake 

   from this dream

  I will undress

 this godly sorrow

  this peace
