Happy Valentines Day
"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." There are a lot of broken hearts out there for Valentines Day. There is someone out there who is pursuing you and wants to bring healing and restoration.
Did you hear that? There is a God who can restore your spirit. Who else is capable of such wonders. I challenge you to pray and ask God to show himself to you this week. Let him work and your life will change.

James' Garden
Waking in a garden, looking to see who was there
A feeling of love surrounded me from everywhere
A sound came from me; it startled me to hear my own voice
No more pain “hallelujah”
I heard the angels sing and rejoice
Looking around the never ending flowers
Beauty was all I could see
An angel said this garden was created for me
God planted the seeds before the earth was ever made
To make sure I would have my own garden to run and play
I can still hear your cries from down below
Your tears water my garden and it continues to grow
Thank you for your never ending love
From my garden I will continue to watch over you from up above
When you go to visit my tree
I will be laying in my garden thinking of you while you remember me

The Last Dance
Worn and weary too tired to press on
An endless battle you’ve been fighting for so long
Often sitting silently watching you drift away
Choking on the word goodbye still something I cannot say
It wasn’t that I was afraid of you breaking don’t you see
To hold you in my arms would only break me
One tries to let go as another hangs on
Haunting was the melody as we sang the last song
I’ll pull you in close for it will be my last chance
James do me the honor can I have this dance

I wrote this for my precious Baby James' prayer vigil. I was always afraid of holding him with all his tubes. On September 18th, 2010 I got to hold him one last time.

On a New Journey
Nervous not knowing what a waits for me but I am confident that my new journey will not be a waste. I need to be packing yet I am putting it off. I am off on my first women’s retreat and a bit nervous leaving the family behind. I will be without any communication from the outside world. Excited and terrified. I have not had to go without any form of communication in a long time, finding it weird that I will just have to unplug.

Keeping faith in a world with limited humanity
I look at he the fading humanity today and my heart aches. We were designed to be love and to give it freely. Yet over a course of time we turned to look inside instead of outside. People’s hearts have been hardened and they no longer can see blessings when God is pouring them down from heaven. People take for granted that their lives will go on tomorrow. We were never promised tomorrow so why do we waste the day? I admit I am guilty of it. There has been numerous times I turned away my child’s affection so I could watch TV or have some “alone” time.
We are always asking God to make the world a better place and he continually does. He places angels in our lives to help us wake up out of our self absorbed induced sleep. I look at James Kurtz and Ben Page and know that God has placed them into my live. When I prayed for the world to be a better place God created them. Not one person who has come into contact with these boys has not been affected deeply by their stories. We may not know how much longer they have but we cherish every moment they are here with us and know to be with these children you are watching God’s work in various people’s lives.
I pray continually for their healing for the Glory of God and not doctors. Yet in the end these boys might not make it. Despite the odds I still have faith. As Beth Moore states faith knows that God has the power to do something even though he might choose not to. I do know every day Ben and James fight miracles are happening. Continue to watch the story of these boys unfold and open your hearts to others pain out there. Don’t close your eyes to sadness or one day you will no longer feel and that is terrible when you can become numb or indifferent to others in crisis.
Don’t forget to thank God daily for your healthy loved ones. Cherish these angels and the ones that God has placed in your lives. As always continue to pray for the blessing and health of others. Don’t let the world’s ways rob you of your humanity.

Living inside my head
Waking to dreams
When does reality end?
Is it really what it seems?
Drifting along the waters
No longer can see the shore
Unlocking the madness
Trapped behind the door
Restlessness is often
Leaving nothing to explore
Living inside my head
Lost it all
A tiny care in the world
Left me small
Water swallows me
I continue to drown
Gurgling is a choke
No longer with a sound
As the tide pulls me down
Looking for arms that are
No longer around
