And I'm back in the fight!

I've been down.
Man! I've been down.

For the last few weeks,
the enemy has been winning...
but no more.

Today...
today I started new.
Today,
I let the control slip through my fingers
and gave it back to
The One
who fights for me
and with me.

I let go of the need to be right.
I let go of the need to prove wrongs.

I'm back with a zeal 
that begs to be challenged,
so take note all you joy-stealing bandits.
I am coming for you.

You will be overwhelmed with
grace;
you will be consumed with
kindness;
your world is about to be permeated* with
LOVE.

Just thought I'd give you a fair warning.



*Thanks to my high school English teacher who gave me 
"Permeate" as a vocabulary word.  
I have never forgotten it
and strive to use it every opportunity I get.
I realize you may not read this blog,
but I know your daughter does.

  1. I had hoped to surprise you with a Spangles Pepsi last Friday after my bible study...but Kitty melted down and we had to leave early. Then she screamed all the way to 135th street until a rap song came on the radio. RAP.

    Anyhow, it's the thought that counts? Yes?

    Love you!

  2. Oh friend, YES it IS the thought that counts! Thank you so much. And based on Kitty's moves... RAP actually doesn't surprise me. :) Love you!
