Family COMMUNion

I  enter this room where I've been before There are no walls just an open door And my chair is empty Your eyes are warm You stand to let me embrace Your form And I always wonder every time I come how it seems so easy when it's been so long how You always want me when I've run from you how You always tell me what I need to do I've brought my baggage but it can't last long. For here with You my strength is gone. The pain I hoped to let You see has vanished as You welcome me. And I open up to let You in but then fall into You again. "It's my good pleasure" I hear You say To answer You before You pray Why'd I come?  I can't remember..... But I want now to stay here forever. The battleground's faded and the chaos is dim I fought thru to get here....to be here with Him And I had these burdens to put on display I hadn't unbagged them He took them away. I wanted to shout, to cry, and to wail to ma...

Soooo…it's been a while since I wrote about why this whole thing started.  There's a few reasons.  I've lost some hope.  It feels so difficult to disentangle myself from this life I live. The idea of ever pulling away seems impossible most days, like I'll be stuck in this crazy life of raising kids and working and educating FOREVER.  I've lost some hope in people too.  Anyone that I've talked to…really talked to about this whole idea either doesn't take me seriously or else doesn't really want to seriously attempt it.  In other words, it's fun to talk about but like most things I can expect to be the little red hen and just "do it myself." It seems that's a lot of what I do these days. Lastly, it was my friend Krista's idea to start this blog.  She actually wanted to know more. The great thing about Krista is she knew how to make people feel important because she believed they ALL were.  Everyone who knew her  was so happy to be lov...

Friendships to treasure for a lifetime and lessons that will lead my children into their God-given Destiny.  I am so blessed by relationship in this life.  In fact,  It IS what I was made for.  It's what we ALL were made for! My first slide show….so be kind! ;)

Bless me with a somber  gaze upon my brow Break my back and bruise me black as I turn toward the plow Give me sweet simplicity Faith's brave  truthful words leave behind the lights and fights the screams to beat the world's Lose the smoke, it's all a joke the costumes and the crowds the passion fades, the music stays the hunger like  a cloud Never to remember the glory of the cross Fail now to understand the beauty in the loss Gifts and pleasure satiate Fodder for the want Fail now to appreciate the price with which you're bought Profane what is holy pearls before the swine "My Father's house a den of thieves" and this is all a sign….. Fall away, deep love wax cold burn away the dross as it did those years ago before He bore the cross Prophecy won't fail us It telescopes again Meanwhile the One who made us Grieves His people's sin The Word was born unfettered it dwelt with us unkemp...

Sufferage: A vote cast in deciding a disputed question or in electing a person to office. 3. A short intercessory prayer.  ... Well, not exactly what I was hoping it would mean, but very fitting none the less! Intercession: A plea on someone else's behalf Here are two words upon which a commune (if it is to be a success) MUST be built.  It is not at all surprising then, that their definitions should INTERtwine (can't help the word pictures, they just keep coming:)) There is always disagreement.  You cannot have a relationship with another human being and not expect that their will be disagreement, even vehement disagreement.  Someone must cast the deciding vote and often one needs an advocate to win his/her side over through an act of? Yep! INTERCESSION! Or is it sufferage??? I am not in a position to give relationship advice.  I am only just figuring out some of the things I have never understood, but it is amazing how once the picture is no long...
