Vignettes: - Wonder - Memory - YOU -

 


W O N D E R
 
I wonder IF
I wonder WHEN
HOW?
        I wonder how…
WHY?
        Does it even matter?
I WONDER
I am learning more from asking - Than from any answer I am hearing
I am a student of WONDER
        Possibility
            Desire
                Hope
                    Awe
                           I let my mind go…
I   W O N D E R
 
 

 
Memory
 
I remember
The feeling of you
What your eyes said when you looked at me
The warmth of your hand
The music of your laughter
 
I remember how solid and sure I was of the love that connected us
Grandma
I remember you like you were here yesterday
With your wisdom and strength
 
I can feel you
But still I miss you being here
 
 
 
 
            YOU

I want to see into the depths of you
Past the wall you’ve built up
Through the pain that separates us
        I want to know you
                    I will step carefully
        My eyes are full of love
                    For I have already determined
                    How dear you are to me
        I love you completely
                    But still, I want to see
        Past the hardship and fear
 
        I want to see the depths of you

Invitation

  Peace stood quietly Called to me by name An invitation Just outside the border of my chaos Mind in over-drive My effort to solve, understand and achieve           It was not an evaluation           There was no accusation           His arms were out           Palms up           An invitation Peace called to me And I could answer and go Or I could stay           Peace would not enter my swirling chaos           There was no place for him to stand           To be with Peace, I had to leave           Step out of my mess of striving           To choose Peace stood quietly And called to me by name Invitation Peace invited me to stand At the border of my mind        ...

  Warmth The sun on my face The fireplace at night Leaning into the embrace of my lover           Penetrating heat           Security           Calm and quiet Touching the depths of me as I linger I soak in warmth Coolness The gentleness of a blowing breeze Soft and calm on my face The sound of falling water The mist that surrounds me I soak in the peace of stillness Calm and Cool I am refreshed Strength The rising feeling of potential                Building on what has come before Endurance and Testing Successes and failures                The reward of Persevering Growing deeper still                I feel the increase of strength I have much more to do!                 ...

A Gentle Correction of My Understanding

Image
  Where Romans 8:28 and Philippians 1:6 Intersect Romans 8:28 holds one of the most well-known and often quoted promises in the Bible. We love the encouragement of this verse; the assurance that all things will “work together for our good” . We know that God is the source of the promise and that it is His power and goodness that make it possible. Often we turn to this verse for encouragement and hope when it seems like things are not working out well at all. When we survey the current circumstances and difficulty of our life and find it difficult to see any goodness, resolution or positive outcome, our hope decreases. In these times, some of us turn to a promise like the one in Romans 8:28: “ And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” We may look to these words and find comfort and strength. If we believe that God sees us, the adversity we face, and that He can l...
