Warehouse 242

God revealed

a burden healed

God of new beginnings.

Hope you've had a wonderful morning filled with a feeling of the love God has for you and the hope and belief that he can help you make it through whatever you are facing!

Love you!

Not engaged

Broken dreams

I had
tripped
and they in my hand
fell
I reached
but missed
and so I kissed
those dear dreams
no more

as they hit the floor
and shattered
all that had once mattered
hit me at the core
reconstruct
there is no luck
there is something else in store

and as I piece together
a different dream
I learn what that means
to love
and live and be
but most of all
I miss you and me
or what I dreamt we'd be
and as dear friends
say I do
I wish I knew
the same for me and you
but that is not our fate
our God given destiny
he knows what is best for me
and said that better was to be found
and so I've looked around

lifted flower pots
and jumped in streams
overturned rocks
and turned over leaves

only to find
i've lost my mind
trying to do something
only God can do

waiting for the right- you.
(whatever that means)

A different kind of love

A different kind of love
not of trinkets
or of tricks
or of dangling sticks
that reach in and catch
the most wonderful guy

no this is a different kind of love
a love that laughs
a love that hurts
that holds each other in the worst
that gives us hope
that gives us life
that helps us trudge
through every strife
and yes
we digress
and sometimes regress
but always dip back into the pail

and yet that love pales
in comparison to you
you who set the world in motion
who slid the sun into place
who designed each line
of every face
and dot in each speck of dirt
what work!
and yet we grumble
and we fuss
our thankfulness we hush
in exchange for wasted words
and wantings
regrets
and hauntings

but now, Lord, now I see your face
and my rightful place
here and now in front of you
you who I have known
and have not always seen or felt or heard
even in all of reading your word
and inadequate I sometimes feel
but that is not real

what is real, despite my doubts, is you
you who gets me through
whose hand I feel
and who constantly provides
even when I try to hide
and run
or get lost in the fun
of liv-ing
but you
you love me yet
and you never forget

how you made me. 

Proverbs 31:10-31

Beauty
trances
the vast expanses
of the world
between
my heart and head
rivers
and roads
sweep through
and carry
thoughts to marry
to love
to do
to fine the perpetual
always
you

but as I search
I find
that I am
momentarly
blind-ed
by the complexity
of all I must see and do
but truthfully these needs are few

the world a few
bright colors and things
and the worry
that we bring
brings lies
that twist
and turn
and burn
our hopes and our dreams
till they sizzle
and scream
for us not to let go

we know

and so we burn
the lies that yearn
to do us off
and make us cough
under the sickening smell
that time will tell

was wrong

so sing a song
so light and true
that could only
and always
bring us back to you

simplify your life
to loving
through worry
sorrow
and strife
and in that
become the best
daughter, and mother
and sister and wife.

It won't be so long

A drive by glance
heart stab commense
every muscle
tenses
spasms
freezes
and the other line
click
Liz?

my loved one
so sweet
and kind
a great find
and blessing too

what am i thinking about
but you
and how you fit
into it
how these new men
fare
do they compare?
not really
so are they right
or am i still putting up
a losing fight

Lord knows
my heart and my mind
knows my kind
my ticks
and my tacks
and the things that pull me back
but he is shoving me forward
more gently than I allow
but loving me all the way

showed by the
friends I saw today
I am
not
nor will I ever be
far
from him who saves
my heart
when it starts
to pitter
and patter
and freeze
he sweeps in
like a gentle
breeze
sweeps me off of my feet
to a happy
dancing street
filled with smiling faces
blossoms
and song

it won't be so long.

Think Tank

There will be all sorts of things to be shared today!

When I was going for a run, I was running through all sorts of things in my mind. As I passed a teenage guy with hat cocked, pants sagging and ball in hand, I thought," What significance do we have as a person.. and is our life worth anything?" My mind instantly flashes to an image of me tripping and falling into traffic and dying, leaving me feeling pretty hopeless at my response. But just as that wave of darkness came crashing through, it was swiped away by an influx of square pictures of people. People impacted and people met, and people of the future.

What hope do we have in that? Now something to vet out- is it more important to be who we are and in that do things we were meant to do OR to discipline ourselves to act a certain way to be a somewhat different and "better" us?

Think with me today ( : There is so much to consider!

Life Speaks to Your Heart

Have you ever been surrounded by a sentiment? Where you can't seem to escape an idea/phrase?

All around are the words," Keep moving forward." Not literally, but in actions, opportunities, people, moments and more.

Take for example this video. It has been on my youtube home page for ages and what does it say but to let go, stop thinking and to accept yourself:

What are the things God is speaking to your heart through the things in your life?
