It was

Cinnamon coffee, sad puppies who just wanted and couldn't be together, it was mexican corn, walks, creepy statues, boats, parks, amaretto espresso shakes, modern art statues, climbing trees, singing songs, an accordionist, horses named Duke and Gracie, the Sixth Sense, The House on the End of the Street, sleepovers, cinnamon coffee, master dance class, beach walks, baby sand dollars, and the Giver. So far my Friday and Saturday has been great.

Dust Pan

I can't hold on to your whispers anymore.

Maybe there was a clock who signaled you...

But time stood still and my heart broke.

A Stray Dog

I'm a wanderer.

I wander without even realizing it sometimes. 

But God is gracious. 

He loves me and guides me even when I choose not to walk closely with Him.

But all I have to do is read a chapter of the Bible and He calls me gently back to Him and I wonder why I ever stopped reading daily or stopped praising Him daily and stopped devoting time to the Savior who loves me and died for me and wants what is best for me.

But God is good.

And I am thankful for His undeserving love.

Sparkle

Sparklers, Subway escapades, fireworks, naps, Inside Out, 

my fourth was good.

Country Weekend

My weekend was filled with car rides, a cabin with a view, a swim in a pool, card games, a general store, pizza, ice cream, llamas, cows, buffalos, emus, horses, bulls, ponies, mules, donkeys, walks, a swamp buggy ride, a boat ride, more swimming, line dancing, country music, sweet potato fries, sweet tea, being licked by a cow, and a lightning storm.

It was a wonderful day and half getaway.

And today, I wish you a Happy Fourth of July.

I can't count the stars anymore

Because they are all hidden behind glass doors.
And all I see,
is the mirror of me,
whispering shouts of who they think me to be.

I can't count the stars anymore.
And I don't know why I even did that before.

So tell me a lie, that I can ignore.

And the truth will fit like a sweater,
and maybe the sky will fit the weather.
And maybe, just maybe,
everything will be better.
