When fear rises
with its hateful sword
Evil glint in the eyes
charging straight toward
Angels form a wall
of light and love
Radiating grace
truth from above
Swords clash
I am protected.

A woman is more
than the beauty she shows
than the clothes she chooses
than the hair she colors
A woman is more
than the roles she holds
than being a dutiful daughter
than being an amazing mom
A woman is more
than the jobs she does
than the accomplished tasks
than the goals achieved
A woman is more
than the words she says
than the feelings she shares
than the thoughts unspoken
A woman is more
than what others believe
than what others decide
than what others describe
A woman is
a shining soul
filled with life and love
faith and hope
dreams and fears
sorrows and glee
A woman is
a joy to her Creator
for everything she is
just as she is
For a woman is
all that she wants to be
❤ Happy International Women’s Day ❤

When I feel alone
in a room crowded with people
When I feel panic
swelling in my gut
When I feel worry
creeping into my brain
When I feel uneasy in any way
I know the darkness of fear
is trying to get in
I know the dark one
is trying to break me down
But I am a child of light
I am loved
I am never alone
My life mapped
My purpose designed
And like a child
into a swimming pool
I must jump
with all my being
with childlike trust
and splash and play
in waters of uncertainty
without the flotation devices
of knowledge and control
yet faith and hope
keep me afloat
So when I feel fear, panic or worry
When I feel uncertain or out of control
It’s time to let go
to live in faith
to jump in the pool
to float in trust
surrounded by love

Being quiet
Being still
Doing some thinking
Doing some feeling
what steps come next?
what path will be mine?
what holds my attention?
define the design…
lights and signs may flash all around me
noise and smells fill the air
stimulation overloads my senses
where do I focus?
I shuffle cards
in the deck of my life
what do I hold?
what do I fold?
What boundaries do I need to set?
What goals do I need to plan?
What will help me understand my gifts?
and use them…
Questions abound
And so I am quiet
And so I am still
Doing some thinking and feeling
and knowing
the bottom line will always be
What will bring me closer to God?

Two years ago a simple girl came to a realization.
In a divinely inspired moment of clarity
she understood that nothing she does,
nothing that has been done to her,
and nothing she will do in the future
– any mistakes, hurts, heartaches –
NOTHING will impact her worth.
God loves her for all the imperfection she is,
and she needed to learn to love herself that same way.
She suddenly felt empowered and inspired.
She wondered if everyone out in the world
already knew this truth,
or if it was her job to share it.
She hesitated.
“Who am I to lead this truth?”
But she didn’t let that voice
fear and doubt
take root.
She didn’t let her ego
or fear of failure
stand in the way
of what the Creator
was sharing.
So she started a blog
and a facebook page
that has been blessed
and blossomed
into a community.
She didn’t have to be an expert
because it wasn’t about her anyway
She may be only one step ahead
on this WORTH journey,
but she could use that one step
– she could reach back her hand
and help someone else along the path.
I am that girl.
And I am so grateful
that you are here with me
on this journey of worth
Sometimes
I reach out my hand to you
Sometimes
you reach out yours to me
we journey together
finding our way
keeping our hope
holding our faith
believing in ourselves.

Ready to live
Ready to see
Ready to learn
Ready to hope
Ready to create
Ready to breathe
Ready to laugh
Ready to change
Ready to give
Ready to listen
Ready to work
Ready to believe
Ready to step
Ready to jump
Ready to fly
Ready to be
completely me

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

I’ve been doing a little thinking about boundary setting lately…
What is your perspective?
