Face It
It’s hard to face our fears. It’s hard to stand up when we’re under scrutiny. But sometimes, you just need to face it. When Saul was on the road to Damascus, he saw a bright light. I’m sure he tried to turn away from it, but he was blinded. The men with him heard a … Continue reading Face It
Fear
Hello? I’m scaredCan you hear me?Is anyone there? I’ve faced my demonsI’ve looked at deathBut this thing I faceTakes my breath.It’s nameless,I can’t put into wordsFeelings of fear,Shame and hurt. It’s taken reason,Logic, and so much more I’m a shell of the girlI was before. I’m frozen with fear,Paralyzed without,Thoughts can formBut not come out.

Guilty of All
“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10 KJV What a fearful thought! This is the reason I do not like confrontation: I am guilty of part, therefore I am guilty of all. Do you ever stop and think about what you might … Continue reading Guilty of All

Little Details
Is it the glances passed between people Or the unspoken communication of friends?Perhaps it’s in the words and phrases Etched like lines on our skin. Is it the melody of the morning song,The chorus made amongst the trees,Or maybe the fragrance of the airCarried along by the breeze. Is it a line called to remembranceThat brings a smile to … Continue reading Little Details
The Dark
It’s almost like I can’t breathe This feeling suffocating me A darkness surrounding me Caressing and enveloping me. I can’t see it, but I know This grip won’t let go, Elusive yet steady hold, Willing me to lose control. Just give up, give in Let the darkness win, There’s no rest when This fight doesn’t … Continue reading The Dark
Helpers
I have a friend who I depend on to listen when I need to talk. She doesn’t have to say or do anything; sometimes, I just need to say some things to get it out of my mind. I also try to pray…continuously… about what I feel the need to say. Like I said, I … Continue reading Helpers
The Fool
You know, I can’t say that I have nothing on my mind… I always have some thoughts floating around, it is just sometimes I can’t pin down one thought… It reminds me of Proverbs and how each verse is almost a stand alone thought. There are so many sayings, of course that is what a … Continue reading The Fool
