pleasure we can imagine with the flesh
and weddings we conceive of,
the excitement of Jesus for His Bride
is beyond imagination,
eagerness beyond compare.

Bridegroom’s reminder
building tension,
boiling
must stay calm, not too eager
stay focused on the Now, in this present moment
enjoy the feast when it comes but it is not Now.
It is not here, yet
things must be soft, and dry,
for now.
/
sleep must happen.
intimacy shared is not yet
a phantom ache fills sacks
overcooked pasta that wants to become rigid
Breathe deeply,
keep the blood flowing.
ease the tension
Breathe deeply
relax the muscles
that day is not today.
That moment is not now
focus on the now
It happens
When God says a thing will happen,
It happens.
It may take a month,
It may take a year,
It happens.
It may take over 100 years,
It happens.
It may take several hundred years,
But when God says a thing will happen,
It happens.
When God makes a promise,
He keeps it.
When God says He will do a thing
He does it.
God makes no threats.
God only promises.
When God says “A thing will happen,”
It happens.
It Happens.
It HAPPENS!
Joy of your Bride
I cannot begin to imagine
the joy of being Your bride
to share Your feast,
to have Your peace
to finally be in that tide
of no more pain, and sorrow, and tears wiped away
is beyond my imagining to fully conceive of that day.
faith over fear
I have faith and fear,
respect and reverence
trust and belief
trust over terror
prayer 1
Prayer.
A glorious, marvelous thing
to speak to our King:
Directly,
to approach boldly,
to bring petition, request, anguish, and joy, and praise.
/
Many forgotten reverence,
but only because of the boy child that was born,
which God gave to us, His son
/
He shared that he may have siblings
and he’d be the first in all things
that we may pray
and approach
and connect
and speak to him.
whether through sound or thought.
He knows our heart.
He knows our joy or despair.
He has walked with us there
Birthday wishes
Jesus’s birthday shines so bright
caroling down the streets,
fights in the dark
sweetly attending wounds
midwinter dark, the darkest season of cold
a bright light for all
warmth in the darkness
Joy in obedience
The joy of obedience
not grudging resentful thing
the hunger grows
a hunger shows
the emptiness you feel.
The sacrifice you made
the Angels marvel at it
obedience to your word
a joy it will be fulfilled
to walk in your way
to follow your path
to do is you did
to do as you say
Faith in Action
Obedience
to your word.
The things you place on my heart
no matter the timing
no matter the strange
no matter that I do not understand
I trust you know what you’re doing
I trust you have my best interests in mind,
I trust you
I trust you
I trust you
untitled poem
Christ receives me, catches the ball
I fall
tumbling end over end
I remind myself of this
it columns the fear
dear of disobedience
dear of large acts of faith
fear of joy
fear of change
fear of loss
I am in his hands. Faith early
Faith is wings unfurling
stepping off a cliff
waiting for the wind to catch you
