To my Bridegroom You desire to enter me, to fill me with Your seed. You long to be one flesh with me but I, though desiring You, resist. You temper your passion to a gentle flame that I would not be alarmed at your ardour You lie beside me, your arm encircles me You hold […]

I Am
“Who am I?” I have attempted to answer this question with my intellect countless times before. I was always defeated. I could only list attributes, none of which really got to the heart of the matter. No, this is not a question for the intellect. This is a question for the heart. “Who am I?” […]
Break my heart for what breaks yours
Why are you doing this to me Lord? After a lovely time with you, why are you letting me feel such loneliness? I miss Henry so much, Lord. Why did you have to have his trip extended? I am running away from the pain. I know. Seeking distraction in company, entertainment. I can’t even sleep […]
“Your endurance will win you your lives” Jn 21:19

“What you ask of me is hard, Lord.” “When have I ever asked something easy of you?” Touché.

You Are Still God
Let me rediscover You And by your grace I’ll follow through Reveal to me the God I thought I knew Let me rediscover You And breathe in me your life anew Tell me of the God I never knew Jesus, let me rediscover You ( Lyrics from “Let Me Rediscover You” by Downhere) The more […]
