My feet were held to the fire, By someone I thought I could trust. When I could no longer bear the pain, I knew my life I needed to adjust. So, I called out to my Creator, Lord, this is not the love I sought. He answered and saved my life, For by His blood... Continue Reading →
Abundant waters! Flow from my belly this day! Waterfall of love! Written really late for Heeding Haiku withChevrefeuille from Mindlovemisery's Menagerie, August 28, 2019: waterfall.

Michael from Mindlovemisery's Menagerie challenged bloggers to examine the concept of doing your best. For me, doing your best used to mean being perfect at wherever I was attempting to do. When my children were younger and all were still yet home, we had Bible study once a week. Of course, they hated it, but... Continue Reading →
