As often as I deny it, vulnerability can be a gift. It's something that another person remembers... it can make you stronger.

Day will come and you will have relief from the night's vicious grip. Hold on.

Rest your heart now, child. For there are higher mountains you must soon climb.

The heaviness has lifted
in the hours past dusk,
and I don't know how long
it will last this time,
but I will try to hold on
to some remnant of it.

White wedding bands oar over forced footsteps.

Do you ever say a prayer, to help all those in need,
Or brighten a person's day, and do a heartfelt deed?
You may not think these little things will help at all,
But you might just be answering someone's call.

A Peacemaker Is Born:

Sacredness of life is revealed in a kitten's first wondrous breath
...when a heart glows.

It is not only the thought of you that slows down time, but knowing God gave you such a strong heartbeat....it makes me want to live longer for you.

Writing is not an escape from reality. It is a perspective into reality, a river that meets the pain instead of running away in fear. Writing dares the mind, but most importantly, it challenges the soul to delve deeper into the trueness of your character.

I want to more deeply trust in His truth. I want to fall in love with Him all the days of my life and let him know I am His always.
