by the way

I got the name "beautiful inheritance" from Psalm 16:

"The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance."

This is Just to Say

"I will listen for
for you

I will hear
all the sounds
in the world

all the
delicious
ineffable
effable
sounds

All the
thrumming
and
humming
and
tintinnabulating
sounds

I will hear
all the sounds
in the
world

And I will write them down
so you
can
hear
them
too."

(by Karen Hesse, from her book "Hate that Cat" inspired by William Carlos Williams)

(and just for a little backround info, it's a little boy writing about his deaf mother.)

Run to Jesus

Standing on the shore, the breeze wasing my face in salty freshness, I gaze and imagine. If Jesus were out there walking on the deep azure water, the waves rolling around his ankles, and he called my name, would I come? Would I have faith to trust his might, to step foot atop the sea? Would I trust not in my own strength to hold me up, but in the power of the one who created my and the ocean? The salty water licks my feet as I edge closer to the water. I take a breath. I trust. I step. Holding me up through the waves around me, He lovingly sustains my every move. Fearless, I run to Jesus.

questions

Does anyone else think it is kind of a strange sensation publishing things on the internet for everyone and anyone to see?
Does anyone else think it is a little daunting?
Does anyone else think it is maybe a little bit selfish?
Or is it just me?
Is it just because I worry so much about what people will think of me that I overthink what I write (and say and do)?
Is it just because I think (and this really is probably true) maybe other people don't think I'm as good as I think I am?
Is it just because I fear?
Or does everyone feel this way?
Should I have posted this?

Constance

Steady,
Like rain-
falling.
Consistent,
Drumming on the ground.
No matter what,
Always
Unmoving-
God
Doesn't depend on my circumstances,
No,
He planned them all.
Doesn't depend on how I feel,
No,
He created my emotions
Doesn't depend on me at all,
Because-
He is
He was
He will always be.

I know it's "weird" posting more than one post in a day..but I couldn't wait to post another post. :)

I wrote this awhile ago-it was inspired by Psalm 46:10a "Be still and know that I am God".

Be Still.
Have peace
Have quiet
Have serentity
Have grace
Have beauty
Have love
Have joy
Have rhythm
Have energy
Have passion
Dance.

Hello there.
Happy Earth day!
