Speaking of kisses of grace…
A beautiful friend of mine wrote a poem FOR little ol’ me:) I don’t know that I have ever been gifted a poem such as this. I balled when I read it with HUGE tears of JOY streaming down my face. I feel like I wrote it myself because all the words sit on my own heart and rest on the tip of my tongue. I don’t know how else she could write such profound words without the help of The ONE that knows me best. She is such an amazing listener to be able to incorporate all the words that I speak on repeat. She wrote it after she was one of my phone-a-friends that I just had to call when I got the amazing call the other day. The excited energy was contagious to her and I sparked something in her that inspired her to create. I am humbled by her beautiful gift…and her ability to be such a profound listener and be able to inspire with her writing. I am forever grateful that this beautiful soul is in my organic garden and that we have graced each other’s paths. Thank you Cindy:) And thank you to my other friend Cindy Cieluch for one of my favorite photos of me that expresses what I feel in my heart since the poem was introduced to it:)
Curiosity
Can it be Lord?
That you have chosen me…
To spread your word
So gloriously?
The energy that exudes my being
Seeps into others…
Only to be discovered,
By your Grace.
I feel it…It’s contagious.
Glowing from within my inner soul.
It’s exploding…
A symptom I can’t explain.
Humbly, I accept my journey…
Even though I did not choose this particular strife.
I “was” angry, torn, and fearful of the unknown.
But now I embrace this miracle… woven gently into my life.
My heart and soul have opened to an unimaginable high.
I’m living, breathing…
I’m screaming…
“Thank you Lord for opening my eyes!”
The people you have strewn throughout my life…
Are amazing, an unknown, a blessing beyond…
They seem to be my life’s puzzle…
Each piece I long to turn over, each person I long to know.
My perspective is “living life beyond”
A brilliant light, a meaningful purpose.
I live for today embracing your love…
And I can’t help but extend this blessing to others.
I do not believe in coincidence or chance anymore…
For what I have discovered has re-routed my life.
“Of course this is what is meant to happen!”
As I laugh and embrace each of these moments.
Some may look at me with confusion or skepticism.|
But I know God is leading me to the possibilities…
The curiosities…
The joy and hope in my life.
I’ve thrown away that societal mold…
The modern Rx drugs, the truth is now told.
I dare to be different.
I dare to have faith.
Faith is to live with vulnerability, to be exposed…
It is a story that often goes untold.
To live without anguish and fear…
A positive mind… the reason I am here.
And here are a few shots of my favorite things in life that I like to be most curious about:) Of course these three beauties…
One of my favorite pastimes. Laughing as hard as I can with my siblings. And I don’t have a quick pic on hand…but my parents! I love my family with all my heart!
Doing what I love to do with people that I love…helping them to capture moments that they will hold onto forever through a picture. Yay for cameras and being flexible:)
To the biggest beings in my life….Keeters and Jakers:)
Favorite thing to do on the weekends…adventure with the family. Taking walks together and being curious together. This was the first time that we went to this dog park in the Pearl and we met some new puppies that were to die for! My fresh eyes wouldn’t be possible without the immense amount of love that my family gives me. I am so grateful for my life and all those that grace it.
