I’ve decided that along with my posts musing about the God-given purpose I believe each human is infused with, I’ll post my poetry too! My poetry could either be better or so much worse than I think it is, but I won’t know until I get more eyes on them. So, here goes nothing! First poem for the public…
Symphony of the Woods
Foot over root,
Soggy earth,
Cragged rock,
Mossy carpet.
Above me
Emerald leaves
Waving, dipping,
Ducking, bowing
From the breeze,
Soft, but domineering,
Unpredictable with
It’s shifting moods;
The rain too,
With it’s
Contrasting personality;
A pattern of
Consistent strikes
Against defenseless
Leaves.
Such abuse
Has never
Been lovely
In any other
Form.

“How dare you!”
To that we say, we dare because we care.
This world is filled with people who are hurting, who believe chiseling out time from a jammed packed schedule for self-love will fix their pain, and in turn, they can inspire others. On the surface, these people may slow your scroll, but the truth is, they most likely will continue to have to battle self-loathing, anger, resentment and loneliness their entire lives.
How can we make such a sweeping accusation and assumption? Because sin.
We all have it.
Sin is the self-inflicted disease that every human has, every human hides behind, and every human battles for a lifetime. There is no amount of self-care that can conquer it. In fact, we even dare to say that the majority of self-care actually enhances sins affect on our lives.
(Insert shocked face emoji)
We're pretty sure this blog with blunt realizations, and appeals from scripture will not be popular. But that's ok. We want to be the friend who cares enough to say the hard things. And please, don't for a second think we say these hard things out of self-righteousness and pride. We say them humbly, wrapped in a hug of love because (drumroll, please) - We are are also hurting, self-loathing, angry sinners who just, are not enough.
