Where It's Beautiful

       The world is heavy, and so am I. Walking under loads that wear down. The days are trying; pushing going and arriving in ways that drain and exhaust; still, there is hope. Hope in Jesus, friend of sinners, outcasts, and the broken ones. There is grace, in His presence, and with it mercy, forgiveness, and redemption. There is new life found in Jesus, who who daily bears our burdens, where it's okay, where it's beautiful.

When I Feel Invisible

         When I feel invisible, I slip into it, walk through life and humanity undetected; sometimes. I revel in the lack of pressure to measure up, to be something instead of someone.            When I feel invisible, I embrace the grace, create in the quiet that is granted, and look again. Look again at what I value, what I believe, where I find my worth and identity. In the hidden there is room to grow and my soul rejoices.             When I feel invisible, forgotten, I reflect back again, speak back to myself, and remind me I'm not, I just feel that way sometimes.

          "Around the corner and two blocks down, walking on forever it seems. Around the bend and just down the road there is something. Something, yet what is not known; still he sees. Still he hopes, moving forward through the tattered town, moving with hope." , a hope I can feel through this fictitious character on a very real day of difficulty.

I Saw

          I saw the child before me, showing joy and innocence, present in the present and fully embracing jubilation even in the everyday. I witnessed the fun still evident in the fundamental responsibilities of daily living as the aging youth went about their day. I saw dancing, then the timid pulling back of a child-like nature. "Dance! Have fun! Don't be afraid of that!", I spoke unashamed to the child still evident within such a one, where a child-like nature dared to emerge from life "growing up".              I passed through and beheld the invitation to join in the fun of a day, innocent moments of pure childhood fun and the call to live beyond simply "getting stuff done". I saw, recognized it, and accepted fully, tooting the horn of "I see you, and I'll join in such welcoming time of play", allowing my inner child to "come out and play" for a while.
