Today
I will not feel pressured
to DO anything
Today
I will work on just being
I will work on just relaxing
and that’s ok –
in fact, it’s perfect
Why do I find myself in judgment when I’m not “being productive”?

His Perfect Love
Posted in Poetry, Praise, Self worth, tagged control, fear, God, love, perfect, self worth, trust on May 16, 2012| Leave a Comment »
God’s perfect love replaces all fear
Because He loves us
so truly
so deeply
so perfectly
Those times I glimpse
that perfect love
a wash of warm light
fills my soul
Some days I am grasping
struggling to reach out
to remember to trust Him
to let go of my own expectations
But when I do –
when I sit in His perfect love
I know why we are here
and I just want to know Him
Help me, Lord
to sit with you
today
Perfect Moms

Sometimes Moms
forget all the things they do
forget all the things they have done
Sometimes Moms
focus on things they think they should have done
focus on things still yet to do
focus on things they could have done differently
Wait, Moms – 
that misses the point
that cancels the good
that silences the truth
Moms
do all that they can
with all that they have
for everyone they love
in any given minute
Moms are heroes
especially because
they are not perfect.
The only one who expects
a perfect mom
is Mom.
♥ Happy Mother’s Day ♥
to the beautiful, worthy,
beloved just as you are
♥ Moms of the world ♥
All things

I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me.
But do I allow it?
Do I let go enough
of my own need to control
to allow God’s miracles to happen?
Lord,
Help me to let go
Help me to give it all to you
It is through your power alone
that my life will be filled
Nothing I do
Nothing I plan
Nothing I say
directs my path as clearly
As when I am still
and listen to your voice
I don’t have to figure it all out
I don’t have to have it all planned
I just need to trust you, God
I choose
to trust you
No Waiting

I’m not going to wait
for everything to be perfect
I’m not going to wait
for me to be perfect
to look a certain way
to have a certain education
to own a certain item
to be a certain age, weight, status…
Now.
Now is the time
the time to live
the time to be
the time to experience
all that God has planned
all that life has to offer
all that I am meant to be
A Prayer for You Today
Posted in Poetry, Praise, Self worth, tagged blessings, faith, God's grace, God's love, letting go, love, perfect, poetry, prayer, self worth on April 4, 2012| Leave a Comment »
May the Lord bless and keep you
May His face shine upon you
May you experience His peace
May you feel His strength
May you hear His soothing voice
May you know His unconditional love
His love
is always there
We just have to reach out for it
Be open to it
Stop trying to control it
Stop pretending we can define it
God’s love is unconditional
no parameters
nothing you do to earn it
nothing you do can destroy it
Be who you are
just who you are
with no condemnation
for things you wish you could change
God doesn’t expect you to be perfect
(whatever that really is anyway)
He loves you
exactly as you are
today
He WILL bless and keep you
He WILL shine upon you
just let him
To Be a Butterfly
Posted in Poetry, Self worth, tagged butterfly, feelings, God, letting go, love, perfect, poetry, pressure, self worth, transform on April 1, 2012| Leave a Comment »
Is it time?
Am I ready for transformation?
To come out of a cocoon,
To burst forth into the light?
Sometimes the thought scares me
I want to just stay hidden
Sheltered within the wrapping I have created
But God has other plans
He wants to
Shine His light
through His children
Show His glory
with magnificently colored wings
Am I ready to see myself
how God sees me?
Am I ready to transform?
Is it time?
Feeling Hurt, Feeling Happy
Posted in Photo quotes, Poetry, Self worth, tagged expectations, feelings, God, happiness, hurt, joy, love, pain, peace, perfect, relationships, self worth on March 25, 2012| 1 Comment »
I hate
feeling hurt
feeling stepped on
feeling overlooked
feeling left out
feeling betrayed
feeling cast aside
feeling put down
feeling teased
feeling ridiculed
feeling lost.
I love
feeling included
feeling valued
feeling special
feeling wanted
feeling encouraged
feeling smart
feeling funny
feeling important
feeling happy
feeling loved.
I know
I can’t have joy without being open to pain,
but when I hurt
God is there
to help me feel loved once again.
Direct my Path

Proverbs 3: 5-6
I understand
much of nothing
I trust
God to lead my life
I follow
the path He points to me
I rest
in His grace and love
Forgiving
Posted in Poetry, Self worth, tagged expectations, forgiveness, grace, love, perfect, poetry, self worth on March 20, 2012| 9 Comments »
I forgive those who trespass against me
as I have been forgiven
Whatever the crime may be
I must let go
of anger and resentment
in my heart
I must let go
of the need for fairness and justice
in my head
For with these
I could be consumed
even if I’m careful
Resentment is a poison
that I will not swallow
I will forgive
smartly.
I will forgive
and yet
I will not forget
I will not easily allow you
to hurt me again
– not said with bitterness
but with a keen understanding of
how I have been hurt
how to avoid being hurt
and how I deserve to be treated.
I will forgive
and I will be healed.
