In His Presence

In His presence. Sweetness. Still surrender. Quiet fullness. Refreshment. Waiting. God heart showing. Taking nothing. Wanting no one. But Him. In His presence…. He is enough. And all the world could wash away….. And I wouldn’t care. Worries. Pain. Trials. Tribulations. Fade to nothing when gripped by…. His love. And love washes deep. In the quiet. […]

Returning Hearts to Him

Tall one.              Face pale with worries One.                                              Unemotional.                                                           Broken willed One.                                                                           Past following her around like weight pressing down One. And joy has no outlet…quenched by self-reliance. Hope to please. Must do’s. And it crushes me.  The knowledge of this broken one….                  Once free.                                         Face planted.                                                                         Hands lifted.                                                                                                        A worshiper….like me.

When Seasons Turn like Ferris Wheels

We close the door to summer. Sweet pictures in our minds. Of laughter, love, and leisure…..                                               Spinning ’round….                                                                          Like a Merry-go-round….                                                                                                                 In our minds. Beaches.             Barbeques.                             Volleyball.                                             Play Dates.   As labor of days enter peace moments…Sweeping summer away. Time has come….to jump on train of schedules. ….Hours filled with obligations. Chiseling time away like a […]
