I Am Human


I am not as strong as I appear to be.....
I have my time of weakness. 
I cry the same tears you cry....
But behind closed doors.

My smile is genuine.....
So is the pain surrounding it.
I have my bad days just as you do....
Life throws us all curve balls from time to time. 

I love hard.....
I lose gracefully.
I care deep....
I run from rejection.

I stumble through negativity.....
I rise again through encouragement. 
I make mistakes.....
I become victorious.

I stand for the ones I love.....
Through their pain and their joy.
I give second chances.....
And then some. 

I fight strong.....
I crumble easy.
I have my own insecurities.....
I have my own strengths.

I see things in others they themselves can't see....
I believe in them.....
I see their heart. 

I forgive easy.....
I love faithfully. 
I try again......
And again. 

I walk hard roads....
That lead to easy ones.
I climb mountains...
I walk through valleys.
I see the clouds...
But feel the sunshine. 
I don't understand....
But I trust in Him. 

Though I may break.....
I feel His peace. 
Though I may hurt....
I feel His love.....
And for that I am forever grateful. 

I am Human.....
And  His grace carries me forever more.

2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, " My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. " Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weakness, so the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago  (4/8/12) on  "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts.  **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes.....  As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh...

Getting My Hinds Feet

Several months ago I received a word from my daddy God telling me He was giving me hinds feet! I became so excited and thrilled not realizing what I was to go through to receive these promised hinds feet. In my mind, I saw it happening all at once.... No more would I struggle to get to the places I was called to go.... I would go leaping and bounding across all the boulders in my path.... There would no longer be traps and snares in my path.... I was climbing my mountain with my new hinds feet!!! But wait....... I now face more trials..... Heavier loads..... More stress..... More obstacles..... Loneliness that is unexplainable..... I look down and I do not see "hinds feet". I see crippled, hurting feet. ~sigh~ I do not understand.... I can't comprehend this journey.... I was promised hinds feet and I now appear to be stumbling my way over these now larger boulders in my path. I want my promised "hinds feet".........

Am I Ready Lord ??

I can speak of my past....... I feel safe in my present.......... But I am nervous for my future...... Excited and nervous wrapped into one. Am I ready Lord?? God's word tells us, He did not give us a spirit of fear, but of love and sound mind. So why am I so nervous?  Maybe I am scared of myself..... ~Sheesh~ Scared I will maybe make the same choices again..... ~Yuck~ Scared the "old" me will resurface and the emotional baggage of my past will consume the me of today..... ~Lord No~ Fearful if I truly allow someone in, I will be rejected.... ~tears~ Or the choices I make will be just that, MY choices and not God's will for my life. ~Sweet Jesus~  My door of isolation has opened, I take my first few steps breathing in the new season that is upon me...... It is a sweet excitement..... Very sweet!  But as refreshing as it is, part of me wants to run back to the sheltered place I hav...
