I woke up this morning in a box of shame,
I had nightmares again.
Will they ever stop?
And why is it that I never fight hard enough to get away?
And why do I always hear those words?
“Beautiful girl, come”.
Stop it!
Stop it!
Stop it!
Jesus, help.
Please teach me to speak up and fight.

When the tears fall and they won’t stop,
I often wonder if my Father in Heaven sees me?
Some days are harder than others.
When you want things to be amazing and carefree…but they are not.
Sometimes it feels easier to just sit alone in the corner,
Because my voice cannot be heard by others.
Here is the kicker…
Gratitude is so important.
And He is Here.
He is teaching me to rely on Him more.
He quiets the storm inside and He collects my tears.
He loves all of us so much.
Deep breath.
Jesus, I need you so much.
I desire healing…
Please wash over me.
I press into you with all that I am.
I seek you.

When you are spending time thinking about how you can grow, become whole and flourish… Questions arise.
Where does this start?
What is needed for the foundation?
What is needed for nourishment?
Who is the source?
Can I handle this?
Who is in control?
Will I be able to contain my emotions?
How do I do my part?
The answer is….
Seek Him
What if I am scared?
What if I can’t breathe?
What if I shutdown?
What if I feel alone?
What if I’m drowning in fear?
What if I can’t sleep?
What if I struggle with faith?
What if I’m afraid to open up?
What if, I just can’t do it?
Seek Him
Darling…
He is with you,
He goes before you,
He holds you close,
He loves you dearly,
He will guide you if you let Him lead.
He is gentle,
He is nurturing your heart, mind and soul,
He knows and will not leave you,
He is patient and kind,
He is the King, the Savior, your Papa.
He is your coach and mentor,
He is your best friend,
He is your deepest love,
He is the one who you can share everything without fear,
He loves you so very much!
Seek Him
Trust Him and He will guide your paths,
Trust Him to restore and mend,
Trust Him to be all that He says He is,
Trust Him to lead you to healing,
Trust Him to meet all of those questions.
Seek Him
Listen child,
Dear one,
You are Loved deeply by Him,
He will never ever leave you.
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Colossians 3:2 CSB
In him you are also being built together for God’s dwelling in the Spirit.
Ephesians 2:22 CSB
Seek Him
Roots To Beauty…
He is making you new.
Keep trusting Him.

People say…
Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays!
Seasons Greetings!
Be Merry!
Thanksmas!
Truth be told…
I just want to hear…
Happy Birthday Jesus over all of the banter.
My heart, my mind, my soul…
Craves Him.
I feel…
The ebb and flow of the shiver between Dark and Light…
I feel…
The warmth, the glow, the comfort that can only be found in Him…
I want that this December.
So, Yes, Be Merry…
But be true and authentic.

In the beginning, even if you don’t really know where that starts…
You feel as if the whole world is on top of you and all sights and sounds bombard your senses.
You can’t breathe.
You shut your eyes tightly, Pull your knees to your chest and Cover your ears.
Stop, just stop.
Can anyone see me?
Inviting someone… anyone into this space is to be used with caution. You do not want to be hurt anymore.
The desire is to flourish to be accepted for who you are, to be loved unconditionally and to make the biggest splash that you can…and to love others, to point them to…
Jesus
We desire a higher calling, a higher purpose, a place to belong and a place to call home.
Home… that is not here, but there are pieces here and there. People who embody and bear much fruit.
Even in those darkest moments, those places where you can’t breathe, He is there.
Learning to listen, to grow, to continually seek Him. It is the key to shutting out the lies and for finding victory.
Stop listening to the lies!
I am a sheep and He is the Good Shepherd.
He is your and my Pappa.
He longs for us to abandon all ties to this world and to follow Him.
To empty ourselves, so that He can come in and restore those broken places. To turn the jaggedness to a beautiful masterpiece.
When you feel trapped, alone, in the corner, in that dark place…He is there.
Breathe. Inhale…1…2…3…4…hold…1…2…Exhale…3…4…5…6…7…8.
Is it easy? No, but it is not meant to be easy. Our heavenly home is not here on this earth. We are citizens of Heaven.
Put on that armor of the Lord…
And remember He is with you…
Every single step of the journey.
Breathe.
