from the top

this intertwined mystery of life
where my journey weaves into yours
and everything is connected to everything else
where coincidence is the norm
because there is none
only divine appointments
where we seek to learn from
every situation
and every situation an opportunity
to fly or fail
every argument
a chance to grow or wither
every adversity and tragedy
a golden opportunity to extract
the living truth
of how we were made broken to really live!

So hand over your personal "choose your own adventure" book
stop selecting your own way
and give God the reigns
can you really let go?
and have faith and trust in his choices for your life
can you let each day unfold like a new chapter
filled with possibilities and mysteries God creates for you
not for you to try and figure out
but to learn and grow in
to look for the hidden jewel of knowledge
that belongs in each new clue
(sometimes hidden in what appears to be a pile of junk)

because if we surrender
life becomes a Ferris wheel
that we climb onto and ride to amazing heights
and it is only when we step on
and leave the comfort of the solid ground
that we submit to God's will
that we can reach the top where it all becomes clear
He takes us to where we can see what He does
the big picture is clear
because of our change of view!

and he wonders

from the backseat I hear a little voice ask "Mommy what is your name?" It is so neat that he wonders this out of the blue... "Christie" I say "Oh, Christie, I like that name" "Thanks Bud, I like your name too!" "Daddy and I got to pick your name!" So for the first time this little man who is so grown up already says my name calls me something other than Mommy and the significance of that hangs in the air my baby becomes a boy in that moment. ~C

Gut Feeling

I noticed how often I go by the FEEL of something, or the Feel of a situation, or maybe I should say how I feel about it, I go by FEELING through it. Some would say they just had a "gut feeling" about something, that is what I am getting at. Some times I cannot even explain why a certain situation I am in, or even time with a certain person does not feel right, it just doesn't. It is like oil and water in a glass, and I can shake it up from time to time to make it feel right for a short time, but then it will go back to being divided, unable to resist it's true nature in my life. It wasn't meant to be for me, and I feel that, while it is being revealed to me. Most of the time I fight these gut feelings, but it is futile most of the time, because there is a sense of unrest in me when I resist. A subtle off-throwing of what I usually do. If I am honest with myself and I stand back, I can see that I am avoiding acknowledging it, The thing or situation or the relatio

finding you in everything

Sometimes I write what I want to be said to me what I'd like to hear what I imagine to be true what I need or desire from you Sometimes I daydream I wonder if I'll ever... I imagine my forever and it's nice to see it on paper even if it never comes true, with you And sometimes I sing sing the songs that remind me repeat the lyrics that tend to haunt me words conveying feelings that I have felt too, for you Sometimes I close my eyes and see you in my mind sleep and dream an adventure we may never have together but keep all the same close to my heart This concentration of my imagination, my voice, my pen that finds you... in everything ~C
