There is freedom in His grace
it covers all that I am
all the mistakes that I make
all the wounds that I wear
When I actually stop
trying to do it all myself
and allow brokenness to bubble up
He handles everything
Lord, help me to remember
today and every day
I am complete
I am free
in you.

I do not need someone to rescue me
I am capable of
making sure I am cared for and loved
making sure I am safe and secure
in fact – here I am 🙂
I can charge ahead on my own majestic horse
lift my own circumstances
free myself from negative influences
connect with the power of God
in me
and rescue myself
I deserve it and I can do it

Another romantic comedy
flits to my mind
the idea that someone would “See me as perfect”
creates fear of it’s own kind
It’s not endearing
to see a false version of me
It makes me feel pressure
and wonder who you want me to be
I am me
Perfection only in God’s eyes
let’s keep it real between us
no romanticized lies

You are a …
mother, father, wife, husband, daughter, son,
leader, assistant, friend, teacher, student, counselor,
nurse, lover, fighter, musician, poet,
sister, brother, man, woman…
None of it defines who you are.
None of it speaks to your value or worth.
No matter what you do, no matter what roles you have in life
You have value just in being you.
(or ex)

Coming down
from Valentine’s Day
expectations
met with sugar highs
chocolate narcosis
so much hype
leads to so much hangover
Did it turn out as hoped?
Did all the dreams get met?
Yesterday spent
giving love
today
I cradle my own heart
today
I choose me
today
I remember
i AM complete
just as I am

real love
true love
selfless love
is in the heart
of each of us
it’s not about expectations
yours or mine
it’s not about the gifts we exchange
the surprises we give
or don’t
it’s about being open
being trusting
being trustworthy
never claiming
never resenting
just loving.

We spend a lot of time in our lives
looking for the perfect love
or trying to create it with our partner
but only God’s love is perfect
will meet every need
fill every space
and He does love you
no matter what

It is so easy
to get confused
to blur the lines
to use sex
in place of love
to fill a void
to feel good
about
myself
But it usually
doesn’t work out
that way
So, I will look for the fine line
that separates love and sex
I see that sex can be part of love
but they are not the same
and I will know the difference
I am valuable
for more than
my body
for more than
how I make you feel
and I am complete
as I am.

Getting caught up in the “romance” around us?
Here’s to keeping some healthy perspective!
I will not let unrealistic expectations cloud my view of life.
I am loved. I am valuable. I am complete.
