I Am

I am woman; I am little girl. I am the baby; I am the mother. I am office manager; I am disposable. I am voice through puppet; I am silent through tears. I am energy; I am weary. I am friend; I am enemy. I am strong; I am afraid. I am accomplished; I struggle. […]

Make a Pearl

Make a Pearl “The most extraordinary thing about the oyster is this: irritations get into his shell. He does not like them. But when he cannot get rid of them, he uses the irritation to do the lovliest thing an oyster has a chance to do. If there are irritations in our lives today, there […]

Remember

Do I ever go to Nineveh when I am told? Will I always go through the belly of the whale on my way? Why do I think I know what is better for me? Better than what God has planned. The path that is straight and narrow is not as difficult. As rocky. As frightening. […]

Breathe Grace

It seems we all find ourselves behind bars. In freedom the light reveals the scars. Disappointment, dailyness, discouragement. They come without warning, against our plans, and it hurts. Sometimes at rock bottom it only gets worse. Bars of iron, addiction, fear, broken hearts, mistakes, limitations and pain. Sometimes feeling like a pawn in a losing game. […]

Unstained

…”keep oneself unstained from the world.”  James 1:26b Under the stars, under the sea, under the tree with the red and yellow leaves Under the wind whistling through the barn, under the moon round – golden and orange Under their breath, I hear them whisper…living death Under their stares, I feel sharp pain through glares Under […]

Strategy of God

God strategically places people just where I need them, exactly where we are needed. He placed a wealth of knowledge, and heart for God, in a tiny woman with crippling arthritis. She inspired me to go to school. He placed eyes that no longer see, yet always see the good, in a bubbly redhead. She […]

the hand of my Father

The hand of my father held me while I crossed the street And locked the doors while I prayed “Now I lay me down to sleep” (Sometimes when I was scared at night he would tease me and make me more afraid, and sometimes he would sleep with me and make the monsters go away) […]

Isaiah 30:21

“And your ears shall hear a word behind you saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it’”. Lord, please help me to hear.  Kim

Life is a Mist

Life is a Mist Our lives are busy. Our lives are uncertain. Our lives are brief. Our lives should, therefore be humbly submissive. James 4:13-17 No matter how advanced the world seems to become, our lives truly are not in our control but in the hands of a MIGHTY & LIVING GOD. Watch yourself, not […]
