Inseparable
We walk with the Lord, delighted to be at his side, Not dragging our feet, nor pulling ahead with pride. He’s the leader in this journey. He sets the pace. My choice to be with him keeps me in his grace. A simple touch isn’t bonding. Spoken words aren’t glue. Our unwavering choice is to
Reality Check
O Lord, take a look in the corners and cracks, Where thoughts wander and sneak in the back. Shine light on the places I often don’t see. Show me the truth of what lives inside me. Please peek into my attic where old memories hide, Check in my basement where I’ve pushed things aside. If
The Curious Heart
There once was a fellow who wanted to know Why rivers run fast and why turtles move slow, Why stars fill the sky when the daylight is done, And why people smile when they’re having fun. He’d tug on a sleeve and ask you something, Like “Why does a robin know when to sing?” Many
When Less Is More
We might think we’re big or think we are small. We compare, but there’s no need for that at all. For every individual, God has a different view. He knows who we are and what we’ll grow into. Sometimes we can feel bright, like stars in the skies, But on other days, we slump with
Stepping Out
When a thought seems to come from above, We may wonder if it’s time to push or to shove. But the question that matters is simple and true: Did God whisper this? Or did fear tell you to? Some impulses push us to rush and to run, To chase after shadows and call it good
Write with Grace, Not Grind
God loves and accepts us, not for what we can do, But because we trust him and know his words are true. He guides all our steps when we ask him to lead, And gives us the wisdom that our stories will need. We don’t have to worry or tremble with fright, For his gift
Shining God’s Creative Light
Your creative mind is bright and true— A special gift from God to you. It hums and whirls and starts to spin, Creating stories from words within. It guides your thoughts, both here and there, And helps you encourage people everywhere. Every story you frame, each line you start, Can help a multitude,
Clicking All the Way
Some days, your thoughts hide away, They just nap inside your brain all day. You poke and prod, but they won’t show. You sigh and say, “My words won’t flow.” But wait! Don’t give up. Don’t even frown. The best of stories can start upside-down. For God who brings the stars out at night, Can
The Monkey and the Manuscript
In all writing groups, both timid and tough, The talk can be gentle—or maybe too rough. The meeting’s too mushy, all praise and delight, Or it might be a storm with a thunderous bite. Some folks form a circle that cheers every line: “I love it. It’s perfect. Your commas all shine.” But if novices
The Trouble with Plenty
When times are all rosy and life’s going grand, We think we’ve got everything right in our hand. We boast of our blessings. We sparkle. We shine. And quietly whisper, “These riches are mine.” But faith that depends on fortune and fame Soon forgets our Provider and thinks it’s a game. The heart grows
The Easy Way Out
The path up ahead is daunting, looking rocky and steep, While the shortcut seems smooth with a promise to keep. But the easy way whispers, “Come rest for a while,” Then traps you in comfort and steals your next mile. The flesh says, “Relax. You’ve been working too long.” But the spirit says, “Stand
No Easy Way to Write
We all want what’s easy, that smooth, gentle ride, Where stories flow freely and words coincide. “But wait! Hold on. Writing shouldn’t be hard,” you say. Yet great writing is sweat and tears—work all the way. We hunt for shortcuts, a simple magical trick— A formula that’s fast or a method that’s qui
