The "D" Word - Missouri 2010

Why do I feel like I am walking around with a giant red "D" on my forehead?

Judgement comes so quickly!

Grace feels a thing of the past!

Will the truth win out?

Wholeness exists apart!

Freedom comes within!

Can I survive the stigma of singleness?

Remember what He thinks of you!

Live the adventure!

I am not defined by my marital status!

Knocked the Wind Out of Me - Missouri 2010

You just

knocked

the

wind

out

of

me!

Why did you resurface?

Is it to continue the torture?

Is it to punish me some more

for your own sins?

Is it to prove you're justified?

I don't wanna feel this way

anymore!

You

have

no

power

over

me!

You Are - Missouri 2010

You are

. . . strong enough

. . . a survivor

. . . going to be excellent

. . . going to make a difference

. . . more than they ever said

WORTH IT!

Nathan Welch-Castero - Missouri 2010

Baby Boy

You are beloved

You are missed

You are longed for

You are perfect just the way you are!

I praise God that you are in His arms

I praise God that you came into my life

I praise God that you will never suffer

I praise God that you will never want

Your name means to give

You gave me joy

You gave me hope

You gave me love

for always my baby boy!

Queen of Disturbance - Missouri 2010

Why is it . . .

that when a man is 30 he is just a bachelor -

when a woman is 30 she is a spinster -

What's wrong with her?

Why is it . . .

men say they want someone independent -

and they marry someone needy -

What's wrong with him?

Why is it . . .

when a relationship doesn't work out -

people assume both parties are to blame -

What's wrong with them?

I've accepted the fact that everyone has something wrong with them -

We are all human!

Am I the one that's disturbed?

How Long - Missouri 2010

How deep

How wide

the gash in my soul?

How long

How far

will I cry these tears?

How many

How few

days will I feel the pain?

How can

How will

I continue to walk?

Daddy, pick me up and carry me in your arms

because I can't make it on my own anymore!
