How Would You Feel?

I thought I'd share this with everyone. I wrote this one of those nights I was awake for hours in the middle of the night. That's usually when my mind works the best! It was before Easter and I started thinking about how people must've felt watching Jesus' crucifixion. So, this is wrote from the point of view of people , then God, then Jesus in Heaven. I've never actually wrote a poem before, so this has been a learning experience! Let me know what you think!



How it must’ve felt 
To watch you suffer
To know that you came to save me
Yet died so violently.

How it must’ve felt 
To see you hurting
Knowing there was nothing I could do
Knowing I should be there, too

How it must’ve felt
When you drew your final breath
Knowing what I’ve done
Instantly feeling regret

How it must’ve felt
To have to turn away
To not watch my son
Bear all the pain

How You must feel 
watching us sin 
Loving us more than life
But giving up within

How You must feel
When we finally submit all to You
When we turn and repent
When we fully love You

How You must feel
When we give You everything
When we praise your name
And give You all the fame

How You must feel
When we accept Your peace
When we know You are with us
When we know You are for us!!!!

Insignificant

The world has drowned itself out, my worries, my anxiety, my brokenness, my overthinking, all submerged into the water as I lay on my back staring up at the black sky. A clear night like no other, I'm amazed at the stars that I can see, and yet don't dare to even began to count them. I pick out the Little Dipper, more because it's the only one I can really remember from school. The water is warm on this summer night as I lay as still as can be. I almost feel like I'm laying in a giant bathtub, but my part of body that isn't covered by water gets goosebumps, more to just remind me I'm outside.  It is so quiet, I can hear my heart beating, the sounds gives me comfort, in some strange way. The water in my ears drowns out everything else. Everything is so peaceful and calm, if only my heart was that way.  As I stop in the center of the pool, and relax as I've never relaxed before... I think about how insignificant I am. Who am I? In this world with billion

I AM A Child of God

If you grew up in a rough atmosphere, not the best relationships with your family it is so hard to figure out who you are in the eyes of God. This has been something I have struggled with for almost 4 years now. It's so hard to see God's wonderful grace, his mercy, his compassion, his total unconditional love. I've never experienced these types of things in my life, so how can God........... I try my hardest to show these things to my own kids so they never have to struggle in knowing what this all looks like. My prayer today is that I can see/feel/know/understand all these qualities from a God that I know through the bible loves me.

What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger???

Looking back on my life, this simple quote makes me think? What doesn't kill you makes you what? Stronger? Happier? More peaceful? Smarter? I feel like you can put anything at the end of this statement. My ending word has changed more times then I care to admit, as I suppose that yours has too. Having a micro-premie....."What doesn't kill you makes you smarter?" I learned so much for our 5 month hiatus in the NICU. I witnessed so many miracles. This was a time that in my life that I was the most scared, for my life and for my baby. If you have never seen what a 1 pound, 23 week baby looked like outside of the womb, you wouldn't get how amazing of a place any NICU is. I am so thankful for all that I learned through my first miracle. I'm so thankful that God gave me her to make me stronger!  Having not one, but two strokes..... "What doesn't kill you makes you anxious?" This one took me awhile to really come up with. There's a long story with
