When Words Become Weapons….And Healing

I hold out sign to Hardworking One.  Similar to the one daughter’s friend held out to her football game last. Asking…”Homecoming?” And she answered, “yes”….So I thought I would have a chance… Though words were thrown like daggers moments earlier. And heat escalates as flesh tries to rescue… Pride that had been lost.  And how beautiful […]

At the Feet of Wisdom

I sit at their feet.    Gathering of Women.         Older.             Intercessors. Mentors. Grandmothers. Church issues.     Many Quit.         Intercessors, still standing. Grace abounding.  Praying…..for churches surrounding. Determined, by faith, to enter boldly His throne room of grace. Theologically explaining.     Powerful petitioning.           Talk of Israel.  And our connection with God’s people. Prodigals broken.     Prodigals within.           Confession. Healing.  Sharing……Drifting People.   […]

My heart desperate…to seek Him. He leads. Saying…. Don’t look back. The world attacks.  Brothers and sisters…combat.  Wars of pride.  Flesh made weak. The internal sin within. Us all. And the days progress […]

Words: The Naked Truth

Like a child today.  Defenses stripped away. Whirlwind of  tasks…chores…stores…Preparing for another party. More….people through the threshold of our home. And I knew. Defenses were down. Body holding on from the battle it’s been through. Attacked again…from nuts.  An allergy.  Just learning about.  Suffering through… And I hear them. Like salt inflaming a wound long healed.  […]
