One of the fears I let go of this year was that of losing friends. Prior to now, I was always doing the most, always the one doing the reaching out, always the one initiating the calls, (even to their family members), always the one initiating the messages.

For in foundations-deep this bane resides, From it our sight he brewed. A Lion's den, a burning furnace, An affirmation to this infinity I see. With the last of my embryonic fear Shedding in grace's mighty embrace, Like a parting sea, a prodigal racing to his father, I see hope erupting in violent splatters.

A finish without a beginning? Or a beginning without a finish with a new beginning? Tell me! This hope … Continue reading Hope Lives Here.
Parable! Parable! Sow on fertile it says, But Desert I see. Can I say more? Can I harvest here? Quick sand! Quick sand! Dynamite?Who cares! I do sometimes no pretence, But listen child, even in an arid Desert Oasis exist. ©LifeasChristy . .

Downcast in doubts shadow? Look up Litters of blue hope Arrays the day Good news they say Not so far away Till a little,turn the soil Deep down they say Is where gold lives Hold the rein, just a little tighter The picture is nearer Than when you first began Downcast in doubts shadow? Look … Continue reading LIGHT STILL SHINES
Do you ever wonder Why we have to hurt When we have a God That loves us!!! We love the sound of laughter And the merriment of cheer Maybe: Our hearts would lose their tenderness If we never shed a tear. Maybe: All the pain we are feeling Is just the hurt before the healing … Continue reading Maybe
