The Light

Why do focus on the darkness

on depravity

on our sinful nature

I am in the light

I worship the Son

Beauty surrounds me

the creation of the Creator

Yet I feel like the darkness chases me

Instead of seeing,

looking towards,

focusing on the light

I let my eyes, my heart

Continue to focus on the darkness

I know that God is removing

the sin and darkness from me

I think I to often dwell in

the mire

God let me see the majesty and the beauty

of YOU

Let my eyes focus on YOU

My daughter

I love your sweet smile

your trust,

your love for me and

those bright, big eyes

Everyday I watch you grow

learn

love

seek

I have this great privilege

this privilege of being

Mom

Your so sweet, so silly

My words can not truly express

my dear Layla Grayce

how much I love you

how much I desire for you

to see beauty

to see God

to love

to hope

to be person of deep faith

God has been so kind

I pray my dear daughter

that everyday you see this kindness

2009

The calender has turned

The promise of new day

The hope of new year

The path of the unknown 

for all this year will hold

With great anticipation 

With great expectations

With Hope

With Joy

I follow this path

I will walk into what this year holds for me

I will look towards the future

I will rejoice in today

I will learn from the past

I will ask for wisdom

I will seek understanding

I will love deeply, sacrificially

I will give

I will speak kind words

I will dwell with my Creator

I will risk

I will jump

I will follow

What will you do this year?
