I Told A Story.....

          I told a “Stall Time Story” to our son tonight at bed. I hadn't told those in a while. When he was really little I used to tell them at bath time (usually when he didn't wanna finish bath time; hence the name).            He asked for one tonight, and I told it. I didn't think I had it in me to tell one tonight (it's been a rough few weeks after losing a job the 14th); by the grace of God I was able to though. I didn't realize how fun, therapeutic, and empowering it would be though; for both of us.             What healthy, life-giving habit are you revisiting? How is it giving life, healing, empowerment to you and those around you?  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.

He Kept Asking

       We (my son and I) were reading about David and Goliath this morning. There was something that surprised me when reading though. What would be promised to the one who kills Goliath was mentioned several times. First the Israelites were speaking of it, then David asked about it twice (see 1 Samuel 17: 25-30).         I was surprised because I had never noticed HOW much this was mentioned before; then wondered today WHY it was given SO MUCH importance.         David asked twice about what was promised. He wouldn't let that good thing be kept from him (when his brother tried to sideline him). He sought to gain clarity on what good was promised (to make sure he understood what was promised). Thank You Jesus for such understanding You give!

It's Surprising (Triolet Poem)

It's surprising, these small moments of grace.  Hope in hard truths that also bring grace. Caught by surprise when I shouldn't have.  It's surprising, these small moments of grace, Letting it take root again.  Letting revelations do a good work. It's surprising, these small moments of grace. Hope in hard truths that also bring grace. -Inspired by Hebrews 12:4-11 Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.

Repeat Yourself (Pantoum Poem)

"Repeat yourself.", instructions that echo inside. "Learn again.", guidance seen in thoughts.  So I write what I can in familiar styles.  Taking it in word for word, line for line.  "Learn again.", guidance seen in thoughts. Rehearsing styles once more while improvising. Taking it in word for word, line for line.  Writing what is discovered, word for word, in each line.  Rehearsing styles once more while improvising. Repeating the familiar in a new way.  Writing what is discovered, word for word, in each line.  Enjoying it, this familiar new friend.  Repeating the familiar in a new way.  So I write what I can in familiar styles.  Enjoying it, this familiar new friend.  "Repeat yourself.",  instructions at echo inside.

It's Been Quiet (Non-Fiction Experiment)

         It's been quiet off and on. Busy screams while creativity tries to talk; so I lean in further, wait a little longer, express something in creating with a pen and some words. "Results may vary. ", a warning of caution I saw somewhere that I can't forget, that I can't remember it's origin either though. "Vary they will.", I think to myself; still I write.             I write of the slide in my mind, the family enjoying "playtime" together that I don't know yet. I watch them in my imagination, wondering what they'll do next.

It's Somewhere

           It's somewhere in the middle, and I don't know where to start. It's somewhere in the transition, and my mind is cloudy, frozen in the journey; so I walk.             I walk, not knowing what this is. I walk, unsure of the next step. I walk, in prayer, with pen in hand as I listen, remembering Jesus is good, and He will fill in the blanks, making all things right.  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.
