Sometimes
Life
Catches us
Off-guard
A word
A phrase
A message
Forever
A life
Can change
Words spoken
I
Was so
Surprised
To
Be told
Something
Magnificent
“You’re so beautiful!”
(I could have cried.)
As
You can imagine
I
Had to pause
Catch
My breath
The kindness
In
Those words
Resonated
Deep within
My soul
Me?
Your perception
Of me
Is
Beautiful?
Wow!
I thought-
Can this be true?
The compliment
I accepted
Said
That’s so kind of you!
Sharing this
Doesn’t mean
I am
Egotistical
All about myself
What
This means
To me
In my life
Great gains
Accomplishments
I
See myself
As
Being beautiful
Too
I
Have come
To know
My Father
The one in Heaven
He
Who created
ME
In His likeness
In His image
As perfect
As can be
To serve
A purpose
He
Has a plan
My Father and I
We
Have deepened
Have strengthened
Our relationship
Our bond
I
Now see
How
He sees
Me
Beautifully created
Artistic ability
God
I thank you
For instilling
Your light
Your truth
Your strength
In me
To be
The one
Created authentically
Living
A life
Filled with
Purpose and passion
Here upon
Your table of plenty
Hello and welcome,
I am so glad we have crossed paths!
It’s no accident you are here!
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, notice and read.
As a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher (and so much more), I see the world through my lens. From the way I was raised, to every experience, moment, and circumstance in life, has shaped the way I think and see the world.
For several years now, I have been walking more closely with God, getting to know Him, how He speaks to me and through me. He has given me the ability to write, a way to express how I am feeling and what I am going through. This has been a beautiful, crazy kind of journey where much healing is taking place. A time where I need to offer myself up some grace and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and commitment to creating a better version of myself.
I am learning how to work through and release old trauma, healing, shedding old layers of myself, accepting and embracing my true and authentic self. Getting to know the new me has been quite foreign, especially when the old wants to cling to what is familiar, old habits and mindsets.
Writing has been my saving grace (and photography is right up there too). An outlet, a way to release, a way to pause, reflect and see there is more than what my mind is leading me to believe. God’s word, His voice is there. When I keep Him first, above all things, I’ve realized things work out for my greater good, my higher purpose.
I hope you enjoy and find words of wisdom you can relate to!
