Home

Many cars in the driveway
and shoes in the doorway

"Just in time" for something
Usually we are eating

People are coming
and people are going

There is laughter and singing
Yelling and random noises

Watch your step
Please excuse the mess

The door is unlocked
You are always welcome

This is my home

Thought

I don’t have answers, I just have questions and this crazy thing called faith.

Be Different

Don’t give in

You are stronger than you think

Don’t give up

Because what they have won’t last

You have purpose

You have worth

Please don’t give up

There’s so much more than what this world has to offer you

The things of this world won’t last

You will never be satisfied

You will always want more

there will never be enough

There is one thing that will satisfy you

It’s the thing you don’t want to hear

Jesus calls for us to be different

To go against the flow

By following Him

We must lose our life to gain it

Through following Him

We have to see the world through different eyes

Jesus Christ, Savior of the world

Through Him

There is hope

There is love

There is forgiveness

There is healing

There is truth

Something was lost

There was a skip in the record

A smudge in the ink

Something didn’t communicate

Something didn’t transfer

The story was mixed up

The message was changed

What was meant to be good

Has turned into a monster

Don’t sell me your religion

I don’t want to buy your Jesus

They cover up the flaws

Only telling you parts of the story

What is the truth?

What does it mean?

For you and for me

Living life

Searching for something

Trying to find answers

Where will answers be found?

What is Christianity all about?

Wounds Go Deep

Self-harm, hate, loneliness

Withdrawing from the world

Hiding who you are…

The pain and hurt you bear

Wanting to be noticed

Wanting to be loved

Trying to get through this

But it seems as if you are falling

Rescuer, save her

Healer, heal the wounds

The wounds that go deep

The scars that will not heal

Break the chains that hold her captive

Prove wrong the lies that she believe

Give her hope

Give her a reason to live

Freedom

2 am phone calls

Why must you

Always go back to the bottle

Why must you always

Try to numb the pain

The bottle isn’t helping

It’s hurting you more

Slurred speech, stupid decisions

You can’t remember what you have done

When will you wake up?

Will you ever see?

You aren’t just hurting yourself

You are hurting me
