“When my way seems too hard, Lord, it really isn’t. You are with me. When my load feels too heavy, it’s not. You carry it. When my heart feels like it’s breaking into pieces, it isn’t. You are molding me. When I feel overwhelmed by the pressures of life, I’m really not. I’m at rest in you. You keep me in perfect peace when I trust in you, when all of my thoughts are fixed upon you. Letting go of who I have always believed myself to be, I reach for who you have created me to be. Starved for lasting joy and peace, I’m now ready to reach for the life and purpose you have chosen for me. Moving to the edge of what I have never had the courage to allow, I launch into the depths of what has been my uncertainty. One breath and one moment at a time, you form me, you fire me, and you fill me.”

Excerpt from Form Me, Fire Me, Fill Me

I have never left you.
I am the faint stirring—
That whisper against your cheek
Waking you and lingering.
I’m a prayer from long ago
A remembrance of closer times
When my heart beat as your own.
I wait in your darkest moment
And in your deepest despair
Heart longing and arms reaching
Aching to be near you once more—
Speaking softly
Hoping you will hear
Child, I love you.
            Come home.
