Self portrait

Look Closely,

Acknowledge this portrait as the truest,

Since I have acclaimed it,

So it is true.

Consider the rest a shedding of skin.

This language was learned from God.

And in this place,

I do not have my mothers handwriting.

Then who's?

My father's?

I know the man I can inspire.

And am happy to be his daughter,

Yet fragile more are these bones.

And my soul bleeds their undesire.

In his gardens I reside,

Composing confidentially.

Entrancement replacing sanity.

Still,

writing to his symphony.

"Entrancement replacing sanity.

i can relate...
beautiful...you are very blessed with the gifts bestowed upon you.
by Father...

Another one to cherish and read over and over. You are truly a gifted poet.

The Bible is full of "Lord i can't stories" or "Lord i'm not ready."
God will often prepare us then send us on a mission before we think we're ready.
He knows best!
things have a way of working out perfectly when we can hear and follow God's perfect Will.
not to say i can or i have or i try...i just pray and when i'm done praying i listen in silence for a very good while, sometimes a really long while. i mean after giving thanks and making requests doesn't it make sense to listen? conversation is a two way street. communication is key to any relationship. He always answers...always never fails to.

Thank you all

I have recently aquired the listening gift :) I must say things are looking very good. I am blessed to have found this website. truly.

Oh, thank you. We are blessed to have you.

Listening is sooooooo hard for me, the Lord often puts me in situations where I have no other option but to listen....It is a skill I cherish. :thankful praye
