You're Growing Even When You're Not Thinking About It

Image
                                         You are still becoming who you were meant to be and this is also true: what if you don't always have to worry about becoming more of who you are? What is who you are right now is more than enough and it's just a matter of slowing down and realizing your worth? Learning to be still long enough to notice the grace that has always  been there? Forward movement is a beautiful thing. Many of us are desperate for a beautiful future and there is nothing wrong with that. And this is also true: there is nothing wrong with slowness. All around you in nature, a billion different things move at a slow pace, just as they are supposed to. No flower is rushing to be somewhere else. No wave is pushing its way to the shore before before  its time. Even when the rain pours down quickly, it took  time for that level of force to build up. Wherever ...

Forever

                                       There is a reason the sky gets dark at night. We were not meant to see everything all the time. We are meant to rest and trust under this bold, full dark sky. Because no matter how heavy the shadow fill the night, in time, we will see morning sunlight. We will see that even though we were tired, weary, and we could not see the ground beneath our feet, somehow, we still moved forward. We still pushed through. And it might take years to see how all of this comes together. We might not always see the pieces fall in place in the timeframe in which we desired. But this does not have to stop us from resting, and trusting that we will not always be here. We are not stuck at this  stage. As terrifying as they may be, our present uncertainties will not last forever. The pieces will come together in their time. We will grow in the way we were  meant ...

I Love You

                                          I like shiny things but I'd marry you with paper rings And I can't let you go, your hand print's on my soul But I stay, when It's hard or it's wrong, or we're making mistakes For you , I would fall from grace just to touch your face All these people think love's for show, but I would die for you in secret No more keepin' score now, I just keep you warm And at every table, I'll save you a seat I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm if your cascade ocean wave blues come You're my best friend I remember how we felt sitting by the water and every time I look at you, it's like the first time You can hear it in the silence. You can feel it one the way home. You can see it with the lights out And I know I make the same mistakes every time bridges burn, I never learn , at least I did one thing right I want to wear his initial on a chain rou...

Life

Image
                                             Life is just a stepping - stone A pause before we make it home A simple place to rest and be, Until we reach eternity, Everyone has a life journey, A path to take with lots to see God guides our steps along the way, But we were never meant to stay. Our final destination is a place Filled with love, His majesty and grace Today we celebrate the life of a loved one Who has gone before us, the race he has won. His journey has now ended. His spirit has ascended Calming the great reward with God, our lord.
