I want to live my truth
and yet…
I struggle to define it
what is real?
what speaks directly to my heart?
how do I define this life?
What is truth?
Others want to define truth for us
teachers, pastors, parents, friends
And for much of my life
I let them
and yet…
I don’t think I can
any longer
I feel fear
breaking molds
not meeting expectations
not fitting in
and yet…
I feel free
living authentically
living my truth
building my own faith
I will say
what it is I believe
I will determine
what is “right”
I will know
what God speaks to my heart
I will release
judgment and fear
I will be ready
to follow my heart
and all
that is revealed
Love Notes

I’ve been doing this little series of love notes from God
on the Facebook page lately.
What little notes does God whisper to your heart?
Waiting

I wait
I wait for God
to open new doors
portals of change
though I’m not sure what
I wait for God
to meet my needs
physical and emotional
though I’m not sure how
I wait for God
to guide my steps
forward or sideways
though I’m not sure where
I wait
I wait for clarity
I wait for decisions
I wait for answers
I wait for understanding
I wait
Waiting feels helpless
powerless and futile
I want to take action
I want to have answers
Then I remember
the power in waiting
in truly waiting on God
and sitting in stillness
I can have peace while I wait
freedom in resting
deep breath in, deep breath out
I don’t have to see the whole picture
to know it is there
I can have trust while I wait
freedom in releasing
God will be there
even if I don’t know what my life will be
I can have hope while I wait
freedom in rejoicing
God is my life focus
and nothing else matters
I decide
that I will have faith
while I wait
My plan for 2013

Dear God,
With all my heart,
This year
2013
I give to you
Every year
I spend so much time
setting goals
figuring and strategizing
planning and organizing
mapping and preparing
for what?
illusion of control
This year
2013
I want to let go
of my need to control
of knowing
HOW
everything will turn out
of knowing
WHICH
is the “right” way
of knowing
WHERE
my path winds
I want to
let go of knowing
every little thing
This year
2013
I want to rest
and let you
do the figuring
the mapping
planning
And if I let you
You will guide me
and hold my hand
You will lead me
and lift the light
You will carry me
in your arms
You will give me the strength
to let it all go
This year
2013
my only plan
is to have no plan
of my own
and God,
you do all the knowing
Hunger
Posted in Healing, tagged Deborah Bryan, faith, food, God, guest blog, hunger, love, relationships, thankful on December 7, 2012| 2 Comments »
Today I am honored to be a guest blogger
over at The Monster in Your Closet.
If you don’t yet know Deborah,
she is a funny, authentic, loving soul
who most recently made me
both grin and weep with
Seeing my dog again, thanks to L’il D
My contribution
to her thankfulness campaign
is an ode to Hunger,
for in spite of fears about it
I am thankful for it.
I hope you enjoy it,
and get to know a little bit of Deb
while you’re there
My Path
Posted in Healing, Self worth, tagged assertiveness, comparison, expectations, faith, pressure, self worth on October 19, 2012| 7 Comments »
Only I can know my own experience.
Only I can know my own direction.
My path is probably different from yours –
it is mine after all.
Walk with me, add comfort and company,
but please, never tell me I’m doing it wrong.
I may not always be “right”
I may sometimes get a little lost
but that’s all
part of my journey
and none of it
is ever wrong
It’s my path
and only I
can say where it goes.
Effortless Moments
Posted in Praise, tagged faith, God, gratitude, love, poetry, praise, prayer, thankfulness on August 16, 2012| 4 Comments »
Dear God
My pulse counts
each of the moments
that you think of me
each moment surrounded
each moment protected
each moment loved
by you
Effortless
I breathe in
I breathe out
without thought
But you know
each time that I do
I hurriedly ready for the day
taking sips of coffee
choosing clothes from the closet
brushing my teeth
brushing my hair
and you know exactly
how many sips
which clothes I will choose
how many hairs
I will lose to my comb
You know me
without effort
and
you know
my every moment
Dot of Faith
Posted in Healing, Photo quotes, Praise, tagged faith, God, grace, love, Matthew 17, mustard seed, praise, prayer, thankfulness on July 19, 2012| 4 Comments »
On those days
when life starts to overwhelm me
when I’m not sure I can handle
all that comes at me
I just need to remember
that with faith the size of a mustard seed
I can move mountains
and those mountains in my mind
God’s love washes over me
He wraps me tightly in his arms
He shields me with shining armor
and covers me with gentle flowing grace
Just the tiniest
dot
of faith
Know My Worth
