I meet with you and my soul sings out As your word throws doubt far away I sing to you and my heart cries “Holy, Hallelujah, Father you’re near!” My hope is in you Lord all the day long I won’t be shaken by drought or storm The peace that passes understanding is my song […]

I ran

It hurt. My sister hurt more. Because she is an animal. She ran AND biked. AND ran. AND biked. AND ran AGAIN. I have no idea how she did it…frankly, I don’t know why (because I simply can’t relate). But she did every single bit of it, and she looked so great coming across that […]

How did I get here standing in a mess that I have made? Little by little adding to the chaos everyday I know it’s time, it’s time to come clean I know it’s time, it’s time to come clean Boxes full of things I’ve shuffled and shifted place to place All the years of me, […]
