Some of my Latest Work

The Skirt-Edge Shoreline

 

The seamless ocean dresses the waist of the Earth

 Her trims: ruffled, ribboned, rippled

Embroider the shore

 

Pin-dot-surfers thread through notches

Interrupting her gathered layers,

Without ripping the fabric

 

Sun-casted shadows pattern shades of blue upon the water

The darker shades accentuating her contours

With detailing done in sequined gold

 

It's the Designer of the dress that leaves me humbled

It's the length of the dress that leaves me small

It's the beauty of the dress that leaves me loved.

 

Nos Duex Formes de Communication (our two formes of communication)

 

I’ll hide behind my diction and syntax

With you reading this, when I really feel that

 

Maybe you’ll catch my heart

Or just the flash of my eyes

 

Don’t try to tell me they’re blue,

When I know they’re brown.

 

But sometimes they change to green

When I cry

 

But you don’t cry and your eyes don’t change.

They’re always blue.

 

You rarely reveal your insides

And that’s why I said goodbye in this letter

 

To conceal my nature

And to display yours.

 

Because I’m openly broken,

While you’re secretly breaking.

Ripen

so i made a mistake the other night.... Beth definitely knows about it-- sorry for the 2 am wake up call to spill but thanks for our friendship!

it really affected me the rest of the that day... and even still does... probably because i wanted the mistake to happen. infact i had almost planned it. it seemed like i planned it, while on the outside no one would know.

im ashamed of myself... everyone tells me to just 'get over it' but it really buggs me. it buggs me because the mistake was desired... my flesh desired it.

this comes at a time where Lord is really showing me the difference between walking in the Spirit and not-- walking by the flesh

the ENTIRE day after, the Lord hounded me with the scripture in Galations where Paul had been talking about our freedom in Christ and our ability to live without the law and then he puts a stern WISE warning in there- "do not be fooled, God can not be mocked, what a man reaps he will sow. If a man sows to please his flesh then he will reap destruction. But if a man sows to please the Spirit he will find eternal life."

What a BRILLANT ending. Man if that doesn't sum up how the scriptures are God-inspired then how can you argue it. And the mere fact that God hit me over the head with the Scripture by bringing it to mind talk about scripture being a double-edged sword useful for teaching,rebuking, and correcting. God is good.

God cannot be mocked. Whatever I sowed I will reap... and it came true...

On the other side of things-- my flesh egged me on again... and i ended up  in a situation I should have backed away from. should have fled! But it was funny it didn't end like it did the first time. This time something was different... and stranglely as a walked out to my car I met a christian guy.

It was sorta like a movie... we kept shaking hands goodbye, but then finding something to talk about... and then my battery died on my car which is no surprise if you know my car and he got out to help... any other guy would have asked for my number. but he didnt. we both gave eachother 'places where we could be found' but no numbers... just a "ill find you..." i know that sounds creepy but i really don't think it is. he was a perfect gentlemen and honestly i respect him so much for not asking for my number. that would have been too easy. too easy to take what the Lord didn't first give. I know that sounds weird but it makes sense to me after the last few days. talk to me about it if you dont understand.

man im tired. i gtg to bed.

Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire: What Happens When God's Spirit Invades the Hearts of His People
By Jim Cymbala, Dean Merrill
see related

Anywhere From Here is Up.

Well life has been messy to put it bluntly... but im reminded constantly: our Father isn't safe but He is good (thats right quoting Narnia).  It was funny today I was talking to a good friend- the one that im living with for the time being and I told her how a desire of my heart, THE DESIRE OF MY HEART, is to stop splashing around with the Lord and start diving deep... into waters that I don't know the depths of and into places I have no protection from Him. And then I came home and read a little more of Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire by Jim Cimbala and he had this to say:

         "Anytime people get hungry to truly know the Lord, the Holy Spirit quickly puts   a  shovel and broom into their hands."

That is seriously what is going on right now-- through my family and through my circumstances. Its incredible. The Lord is so faithful... but He scares me. I want to go "there" ya know the Bedroom, the inner chamber with the Lord... my flesh tells me its too wild, its too unsafe, but the Holy Spirit reminds me constantly that it is worth it. So I need to get through these trials and CLEAN UP! Clean up and store up faith for the trials that lay ahead... this is life... and this is how I want to live it. I can either trust that the Lord will come through and live in the peace that that security provides OR worry and distrust Him and His intentions. I want to choose the first one.

On another note this image comes through my head and has been on my heart lately and I love it so I want to share it:

    "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him" -- John 7:37

Jesus shouts this in the synagogue! COME TO ME! BE SASTISFIED! I really wonder how many people understood what he meant when he said that... because I barely know. But I want to. And that will be my life story.

On another note, a good friend of mine signed up on E-Harmony and she seems like shes pretty interested in it. I dont really know how I feel about it... I want to find that "special" person but more importantly I want to share the gospel. for me at least I dont want to have to sign up and waste hours looking for the one or other ways in life looking for the one, hoping and wishin and dreaming and ect. I want to be sharing the gospel and the Lord suprise me... Matthew 6:33 style. (Above keep the kingdom first and these things shall be added unto you....). Argh i feel like im the only one.

life is quite possibly hell right now...

all i can hold onto is the fact that I am loved by our Father, and He Sees.

I Have to Believe
By Rita Springer

Appropriating Someone One Else's Love Song Because I haven't found my words yet....

I have to believe that He sees my darkness
I have to believe that He knows my pain
I have to lift up my hands to worship
Worship His name

I have to declare that He is my refuge
I have to deny that I am alone
I have to lift up my eyes to the mountains
It’s where my help comes from

He said that He’s forever faithful
He said that He’s forever true
He said that He can move mountains
And if He can move mountains
He can move my mountain
He can move Your mountain too

I have to stand tall when the wind blows me over
I have to stand strong when I’m weak and afraid
I have to grab hold, hold of the garments
Garments of praise

I have to sing praise when the hour is midnight
He unlocks the chains that bind up my soul
My sin and my shame, He has forgiven, and made me whole

I have to believe

 

Please Pray for my family right now.
