Words_Freedom, Forgiveness

Thank you to our kitchen clock for being 20 minutes fast or we would have never made it to church on time today. Thank you Jesus for a beautiful September walk, pumpkin spice creamer to my coffee, and new friends and neighbors. Thank you Epic Church for being exactly what I need to feel, hear, be. Thank you for reminding me to be quiet, to listen, and most importantly, that I am free. I am forgiven. We hold ourselves captive in our own prisons when the door to freedom is unlocked the entire time. We just have to make the decision to walk through it. Thank you to my husband who keeps me accountable to my actions and loves me in my darkest moments.

I am forgiven.

I am free.

Words_September

A morning hello

To my lifetime beside me

Inhaling the September air that rounds each corner 

Coating my senses

Uprooting decades past

Against the backdrop of trees in unison

Bending to a commanding wind

That with one touch

Silently speaks

Resurrects and pioneers

Comforts and weakens

Forgives and strikes

Everything behind me 

And the landscape beyond
