O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

You know my sitting down and my rising up;

You understand my thought afar off.

You comprehend my path and my laying down,

And are acquainted with all of my ways.

For there is not a word on my tongue,

But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether..

Weekly Photo Challenge: Repurpose

Crafting does not come easily to me, but I got enthused about decorating a glass jar. The purpose for it, is to hold notes to self, prayer requests and anything else, that I may want to go back to and reflect on. It was a very simple project and I was pleased with the outcome. The Weekly Photo Challenge is Repurpose.

Measuring Up

Tags

acceptance, importance, inpromptu, lack, less, life, more, ponder, popularity, scale, thoughts, value, wealth, weight, worthiness, worthy

numbers

on the scale

numbers

on clock

our lives

are based on

numbers

it’s a very sobering thought

outnumbered

by numbers

is that who

we are

do numbers

tell us

that we

have come far

or not..

in life

that seems

to give

those with

high numbers

the number one spot..

Wordier

Tags

block, rhyme, thoughts, want, write

i am looking for words

where did they go

they seem to have left me

i just don’t know..

i think they got sticky

and are stuck

maybe, they got run-over

by a big truck..

i hope i find them

or they find me..

i want to be wordier

with words flowing and free..

I See a Short Story

Tags

a torrential rain came down from my eyes

i had fought the tears for so many years

not wanting to go back to that moment in time

leaving home, angry, frustrated and hurt

i felt freedom at last

 forgiving what i had considered unforgivable

loving the old man i was leaving

and looking forward to

when we would meet again..

Happy!

God

had

you

in

mind

when

he

designed

me

and

you

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.

Fruit of Our Labor

Tags

Some days I don’t get beyond our backyard. It has become a little haven of peace,  where I have been pouring my energy into. After the tragedy of Nepal and the loss of life I am thinking about what conveniences I could live without. My heart and prayers go out to all, that they will find peace and comfort in the midst of turmoil. That the volunteers stay strong and encouraged. That they be rewarded for the fruit of their labor. In my life the bee’s are buzzing, the sun shines, and the sky is blue. My little concerns are diminished to nothingness and I am content to just be in the present.

He gives beauty for ashes..

mountains and streams

treetops to dream
