It Feels Like This

It feels like standing still and strong,
Not grasping for love—just knowing I belong.
No longer bracing for the blow,
But letting love rise and letting it flow.

It feels like sunlight touching my skin,
Not just warmth, but welcome within.
I am not hiding—I do not flinch.
This peace? It holds me, inch by inch.

It feels like dancing without a plan,
Spinning barefoot in the arms of I AM.
Surrender isn't losing control—
It's trust. It's ease. It's rest for the soul.

It feels like saying "yes" to now,
Not haunted by the when or how.
Grief no longer swells like waves—
I've walked through loss and found the brave.

It feels like breath I didn’t know I’d lost,
Found again—without the cost
Of shrinking, silencing, or shame—
But love, wide open, without blame.

It feels like roots that reach down deep,
And let me rise without a leap.
I’m grounded in a sacred name,
Unshaken now by wind or flame.

It feels like being fully seen
And not once doubting what it means.
No mask, no walls, no running feet—
Just quiet courage, strong and sweet.

It feels like me—my truest part,
Wholeness woven through my heart.
This is love, without disguise—
Where healing lives and hope replies.

So if you ask me what it’s like
To live in trust and walk in light,
I’ll say with joy and trembling grace:
It feels like home. It feels like space.

A Prayer of Preparation for the Bride of Christ

Heavenly Father, I come before You in humility and surrender, desiring to be prepared as a spotless bride for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, I acknowledge that without You, I can do nothing. I need Your guidance daily—fashioning my heart, my mind, my emotions, and my very being to reflect the beauty and holiness of my Bridegroom. Clothe me in purity, righteousness, and grace. Teach me how to walk in reverence and wisdom, honoring Jesus in every word I speak, every thought I entertain, and every action I take. May my love for Him deepen each day, and may my obedience to His will be unwavering. Holy Spirit, help me steward the estate You have entrusted to me. Give me the strength, wisdom, and diligence to manage my responsibilities well, that all I have may glorify the Lord. Shape my emotions and desires so they align with His, and let my heart remain tender before Him. As each milestone approaches, including my birthday and significant moments in my journey, help me prep...

Shades of Peace

The peace of God—so vast, so deep, It sings to me when I’m asleep. In dreams it flows, in visions bright, A river soft, a guiding light. One Spirit, one peace, yet oh, so wide, A thousand shades, yet none divide. Gentle whispers, quiet streams, Golden stillness wrapped in dreams. It walks with me through waking hours, Filling moments, breathing flowers. In every thought, in every beat, Its sacred hush is calm and sweet. The world may turn, the storms may rise, Yet peace remains, unshaken, wise. It crowns my heart, it holds my soul, In perfect rest, in full control. Morning breaks, and there it stays, Soft as dawn’s first golden rays. Night returns, yet still it keeps, A love that guards, a peace that speaks. No space untouched, no time unfilled, This peace of God—so strong, so still. One Spirit, one love, unbreakable chain, Forever ruling, forever the same.

Teach Me, Holy Spirit

Dear Father, how do You keep loving When creation forgets You, when Your children stray? How do You remain faithful When hearts grow cold and turn away? The plants don’t all rot in one day, The sun still rises, the rivers still run, Your mercy renews with every breath I take, A silent song sung by the morning sun. How do You sustain when we are faithless? How do You hold when we slip through Your hands? Your love is not shaken, not weary, not broken, Your patience unravels what man misunderstands. Teach me, Holy Spirit, make me like You, To love when it hurts, to hold when they fall, To shine in the night when darkness is heavy, To whisper of grace when they don’t hear Your call. I tried to detach myself from love, Then my heart stopped beating, my spirit grew cold, But numbness is death in disguise, And I longed to feel, to break free from its hold. Yet with deep feeling comes deep sorrow, And love opens doors where pain walks through, But still, You rejoice, You dance, You laugh, Eve...
