John 14:6
I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Night Whispers

As I sit alone in the stillness
Beneath the starry sky
I release my soul through the darkness
In search for the reasons why

Why are hearts so arrogant
Why do they starve for love
Why do they break so easily
Why do they push and shove

Why do they feel so empty
Why can’t anything fill the void
Why are they ever restless
So anxious and annoyed

Why do they burn with anger
When another disagrees
Why are they never satisfied
Why do they lust and greed

My soul returns from the darkness
Revealing whispers of the night
Of where wayward hearts went wrong
And how to make them right

They abandoned their Great Creator
And went their separate ways
Down a dangerous slippery slope
Not counting the price they’d pay.

They surrendered to the Evil One
They believed and trusted his lies
And followed him through the gates of Hell
Where his laughter smothered their cries

The Evil One hates the Creator
And all that He has made
He prowls about in the darkness
Corrupting hearts easily swayed

But there is healing for every heart
Broken and tortured by sin
When asking the Great Creator
To make it whole again

So guard your heart with open eyes
Never sleeping on the job
And be not fooled by the Evil One
He only seeks to rob











Little Miss Fix-It

She could not tolerate broken things
So she decided to fix it
Every tear
Every bleeding heart
Little Miss Fix-it could fix it

She was the queen of her realm
Commander and chief
She had everything under control
But in the process of trying to fix the world
The world ended up breaking her soul

Little Miss Fix-it was easy prey
For ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing
Her heart was devoured
Her soul was crushed
Her mind was mauled by confusion

Her heart was too broken
To fix on her own
Too distrusting and disbelieving
So the only thing left for her to do
Was entrusting it to God for healing

Little Miss Fix-it is much wiser now
From the hard lessons she has learned
She stopped playing God
Jumped off the Throne
And ran through the gates of freedom

The moral of Little Miss Fix-it’s story is
Be careful of the choices you make
Stop believing the lies you’ve been told
Live only the life that is yours
And leave all the fixin’ to God











































The Letter

Like an explosive volcanic eruption
Angry words spewed across the page
Vile
Hateful
Slanderous
As if the Devil himself penned the words
They pierced the heart
Crushed the soul
Provoked a storm within
Revenge! The raging heart screamed
An Eye for an eye
A word for a word
I will have the last say
Then my heart remembered
The treaty it signed
To lay down the weapons
To rid the armor of pride
And put on the shield of
Forgiveness
How the heart struggled
How it longed to get even
But amid the hurt and anger
Arose a heart of victory
And all that remains of the letter
Is ashes in the wind




Shawna Lee

Daily writing prompt
If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?

She was beautiful with her long, raven black hair, dark eyes and golden bronze skin; a stark contrast to my fair skin, red hair and freckles. Even her name was beautiful: Shawna Lee. We were kids when we met, and though I have long forgotten her face, I have never forgotten her name. So, when I got married and became pregnant, I had the perfect girl’s name picked out. But I had a boy, so I saved that lovely name for when I had a girl. Sadly, due to childbirth complications and neumerous surgeries, motherhood was a one-and-done deal for me. However, when my short-lived marriage ended in divorce, my X remarried and named one of his two daughters, “Shawna Lee“. I don’t know why, but I’m glad he did. Goes to show that like people, some names are special and will never be forgotten.

Stupid Humans!

Look at her!
She’s about to throw a hissy fit
Did she really think she could trick us
That a flimsy screen could keep us out
Humans!
They have the brains of a jelly fish
They forget that we’re invincible
That we can skitter up a tree blindfolded
Hang upside down on one leg
Fall from the highest tree and keep going
We are slinkys with fur
Acrobats with bushy tails
Magicians with better tricks
We are cute
Funny
Cunning
Destructive
A big fat pain in the butt!
We are kings and queens of the neighborhood
Thieves of squirrel resistant birdfeeders
Comedians of the universe
And like it or not
Curse every last one of us
Hang us from the treetops
We are here to stay!




Stupid Squirrels!

Daily writing prompt
What notable things happened today?

Look at that!
Wrapped around the bird feeder like a slithering devious snake
I’d like to cut off his bushy tail and strangle him with it!
Just when I think I figured out a way to keep the squirrels off
They figure out a way to latch back on
Bella does a good job chasing them away
However, I have a better idea
But killing animals isn’t in my blood
I could let my neighbor do it
He loves killing pesky critters
But my conscience would keep me awake at night
My brain would never shut up about it
And my heart would shrivel up and die
So I took the feeder down
But the birds weren’t happy
So I hung it back up
Now the squirrels and the birds are happy
Wonderful!
Everybody’s happy but me!
But come tomorrow
Or the day after tomorrow
Or a thousand days after tomorrow
My tiny human brain will out-smart them
I pinky promise
I cross my heart and hope to die
On my mother’s grave
I will find the perfect solution
To out-smart every last one of them
Just you wait and see!

Daddy, We Need to Talk

Daily writing prompt
Who would you like to talk to soon?

I cried for you the other night
First time since you left this world
Not that I didn’t love you
But that I thought you didn’t love me
Then I look at this picture
and I see the love in your face
But I needed to feel it in my heart
Did you know I wanted to be a daddy’s girl
To cry in your strong arms
To hear your love songs in my ear
Did you know how my heart ached
To know you
To talk to you
To understand your silence
Did the war kill your soul
Were you suffering in silence
I wanted to know
I needed to know
But I never will
Because you’re gone
And I can’t hear you now
Your silence bore a hole in my soul
It twisted and confused my mind
It made me bitter and angry
At you
At myself
At the world
My heart became a festering boil
Of anger and rage
Striking out against the world
Screaming for love and understanding
Only to receive the double-edged sword
Of fear
Isolation
And rejection
Over and over again
I wanted to hate you
But my heart wouldn’t let me
I wanted to forget you
But your footsteps echo in my brain
I’m letting you go daddy
I no longer need to know and understand
I no longer need your love and support
I found what I need in the ones who love me
Talk to me
Embrace me
Comfort me
And that’s enough
I will always love you daddy
But it’s time for my heart
To set each other free
~Sandi
