peace dweller

where do you spend your time
where do you dwell
where do you tie up your energy
well?
do you ponder His goodness
do you wonder in awe
at the blessings He's given
at the awesomeness of it all?
or do you mull over the misfortune
and doubt why you are here
do you curse your existence
and face life in fear?
invest your time wisely
fight for your rest
and take your time finding
out what He meant for your best!
time is fleeting
power is in prayer
and lost in wandering
hold fast to the optimism
He planted in your heart
hold tight to the promises
as if they were some kind of chart
that will take you
transcend you
through space and time
to a place where you can handle anything
because of your perspective of mind!

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...

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 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

The Giant

You are a giant and you've scooped me up little ol ' me up into your giant laced fingers you've caught me like I would catch a butterfly or a lightning bug but unlike me & the critters I catch you've no intention of letting me go again I am a prize you want to keep even if we will never connect in the conventional ways even if the life you make with me will never make sense or feel complete always a disconnect... fear keeps you holding on control, makes you hold on to me against my will and selfishness it robs you why all the while you call it gain little ol ' me I was never meant to fulfill big ol ' you was never meant to entertain you & keep you company at the expense of losing a life of my own where someone can hold me and with my own size eyes, look into my soul where I can lay my head on his chest and where a same sized heart is beating, softly evenly, for me YOUR heart is a massive drum! it keeps me awake it overwhelms the room like an earth quake.
