I see the tree, how tall it stands. It's branches reaching, as if with hands. Stretching upward, to reach the place. Where He will free me, from this race. I watch the seasons, rapidly passing. Yet for some reason, not always grasping. He is with me, night and day. Yet I allow life, to block … Continue reading In Strength to Stand
Hurt with a Smile
Smiling on the outside, a broken heart within. With busy hands she fills her days, and holds her feelings in. She prays for God to fix the mess, continuously she makes. Responding to the man she loves, with God's loving grace. Marriage never easy, It has its ups and downs. Our human nature intereferes, causing … Continue reading Hurt with a Smile
Aging Love

Aged and Alone
My mind is sharp, So young at heart. My body aging, falling apart. The days so long, Time ticking by. I sit and wait, I wonder why. Left forgotten, no time for me. I've been there too, Too busy to see. One day soon, I'll be called home. You'll then be, left free to roam.
Turmoil Within
Always postive, always smiling, kindness all around. Inside broken, confused and silent, emptiness is found. Searching for answers, yearning for comfort, seeking to fulfill. Patience lacking, blindly waiting, for Your graceful will.
Humbled by Homeless

It started as a fundraiser, just trying to do something good. I thought that would be the end of it. After meeting with members of the group and learning more about this cause, I'm … Continue reading Humbled by Homeless
Struggles

My son came home on leave in November after a year in South Korea. I've been working on another position with my primary job since mine will be eliminated … Continue reading Struggles
