Step Where I Step

Just step where I step
Though you can't see what I see.
The snow blinds you
And threatens to bury you.
But I will lead you, I will guide you,
I will catch you if you fall.
Fear not
Just step where I step.

Anchored

It's all I ever wanted. The only thing I ever thought that I could be. And yet, here I am, after all this time, waiting. I am floating somewhere in the middle of past and future, but never quite present. Suspended in the nothingness- a place with no meaning and nothing to keep me from flying away.

But I picture the eyes of the Savior. I see Him hold out His arms to me. Then I am anchored by the hope He offers me- a hope in good things to come.

A Debt Tha Cannot be Paid

My Savior, a perfect being
My pain upon His shoulders, yet still he bears me up
A debt that cannot be paid.

He came
He loved
He healed
He blessed
He strengthened
He forgave
He prayed
He cried
He bled
He died
He atoned
He lived again
He listens
He comforts
He gives
He loves
He comes

April 17, 2013

It was,
but then it wasn't
It slipped right through my fingers
Shattered to the ground.

I found it
Then I lost it
My arms ever reaching
Never grasping.

Empty arms
Quiet rooms
Motionless days

Meaningless tasks
Lonesome nights
Tear-soaked pillows

I Cry


I cry.
I cry until my stomach hurts and my head spins.
I cry until the bitter taste of tears stings my tongue.
I cry until the world sleeps in blissful ignorance.
I cry while the wind howls outside my window.
I cry until the old familiar emptiness creeps into my chest.
I cry until there is nothing left but an empty box of tissues.

And who cares?


I care.
I care that you are hurting and that you feel alone.
I care that you want and need to know.
I care enough to let you feel the pain to learn the lesson.
I care enough to give you what you need.
I care because you are worth the time.
I care because you're mine.

And someday you will see.
