blessed are the incapable 

January 17, 2017 l m andersonLeave a comment

I sit and I ponder the piece in me that disallows me to love you the way I wish I could.  You have given so much to me and, despite my desperate attempts, I am unable to repay.  I feel as though there is a dark and hollow place inside me that keeps me tethered [...]

worth’s great weight

It is an unfinished room and I am an unfinished thing.
My grandfather,
I have been lifted
I’m at Mom and Dad’s awaiting an AC repair at my house and Daisy is with Grandpa, living her best life among other dogs and goats. She probably doesn’t even miss me but I sure miss her!

Saturday meditation: it seems as though I have been waiting my whole life to be invited. I long desperately for the approval, appreciation, and affection of others. And mostly I live under assumption, longing to be invited but telling myself I won’t be. Believing I am inherently unwanted, I’ve sat a lot of things out.

The fact that I am here at all gives me the right and privilege to take up space on the earth as God intended.
