as I sit down to write

In a field of bright yellow flowers
I sit down to write
 why has it taken you so long? he ask
I don't answer
then, I say, sometimes I get off track and lose my way
I struggle to see you but I can't see the white through all the clouds
 things get in my way, feelings of the past abandonment
He says "the white is nearer than anyone knows"
 The white starts shining brighter as it hugs me.
God then says, "I will never abandon you"
 Then the white turns to a bright royal blue and fills my heart
I'm shaky but feeling loved, not quite strong but on my way...
 never to be lonely again

“Real isn't how you are made. It's a thing that happens to you. Sometimes it hurts, but when you are Real you don't mind being hurt. It doesn't happen all at once. You become. Once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand. Once you are Real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always.” 
― Margery WilliamsThe Velveteen Rabbit
My favorite quote, I held on to it as a child...

What Jesus said to me today.....

When you feel sad, when you feel life's sting, just ask for me and I'll take your pain. I'll sustain you and show you love. Come to me, please come to me.

Today, Cara put an airsoft pellet from the neighbors gun in the top of her ear. It ran down and got stuck. We had to go to the Emergency room and they flushed it out. NEVER a dull moment at our house!

Looking Up

The sky calms me
walking outside when there is a beautiful sky makes me happy
the colors
the air
the peace
