and Purposeful Prose
It's not my fault. Andrew made me do it. (No, he didn't make me go insane.) He said that I need to get back to blogging. And not because he wants me out of his hair. He says that he would prefer to keep me all to himself but I need to write. As he [...]
I think it's time It's time for tea! I hear the kettle calling me So why do I labor to write this poem? My gut has replied It's starting to groan. "Type faster! Type faster!" "It's time for tea!" The kettle keeps calling "Please come join me!" "A cup of my finest will do you some [...]
I lost it last night. I don't know what happened. I believed what I wrote in "Rest." I believed that I was doing better and that I would find that balance, but then I lost it. Something that disappointed me came to mind. Unfortunately, I've kind of got stuck on analyzing everything. I wanted to [...]
That is the question. The answer is: I do indeed have two buzzy and busy bee poems to share. First up... Follow the Leader Buzzy little honey bees Your wings are growing stronger Soon this wearying, whirring wind Won't hinder your way any longer. Stay true to your sure and stable course Soaring flower to [...]
Thankful So thankful that You're never silent But it took time to hear Your voice It took seeking It took asking It took listening To have faith.

I believe that there's a beneficial type of striving and a fruitless brand of striving. When we're striving in our own strength we fight God. We don't have to. He's for us, not against us. Moreover, when we strive for our peace in Him we will find it. (Romans 8:6, John 14:27) I have to [...]
Alright, I can prove that there's English in my blood despite the fact that my husband insists that I'm more Irish and Scottish. This is likely due to the fact that His "da's" ancestory is Scottish. Leuk! Ah cannae speak like that! I can't do accents. When I described this post to Andrew, I tried [...]
Joy is difficult when you wake up melancholy. This is one of the things I struggle with due to having Hashimoto's Disease. It's even worse through the Winter months which means I have to push harder. I can definitely start to resent the "push" if I'm not mindful of my thoughts. See, that's the thing, [...]
It's sad when they believe that God’s commands are unfair Where they see restrictions, I see a God who cares It's sad when they mock the Creator of all things They don't understand the joy that He brings. Father, forgive them They know not what they do Your very own words, as they wounded You [...]
Inspiration--a feast that unexpectedly seized my soulEager--as one who brings good news, it came and found meIt haunted me and left its dreamy markWords--they are both my strength and my weaknessThey draw me in and they draw me outThey dance within me, awakening my senses.If only I could write like that! Alas, I'm but a [...]
