Spring is Here!!

What Your Flip Flops Say About You

You are super laid back and peaceful. Not much disturbs you. You're content with what you have in life, and you can't stand feeling worked up. A lot of good things tend to come your way in life... You're not too busy or stressed to let an opportunity pass you by. Your ideal warm weather place: Hawaii

The Flip Flop Test

I am just so excited about the weather and feeling very flip floppy today. That's why I did this post. I would love to go to Hawaii, but I am not really a lie on the beach kind of person. I burn too easily. I like to travel and do things. (Unless I am in the mountains - then give me a good book or some paper and a pen. I would be as happy as a lark!!)

Easter

9 Days till Audition!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. We spent it with my family yesterday. We had a Turkey lunch, which was delicious. It was a nice afternoon.

I had a couple glasses of wine (don't normally drink except for special occasions) and this morning I am suffering from a huge headache. Serves me right, I suppose, but the wine was really tasty. I am just dehydrated, I am sure.

Emma and Aidan looked so cute yesterday in their Easter outfits. We didn't get a picture of Aidan, but the one of Emma is priceless. I will send one out East with my parcel of pictures. You'll definitely want to frame that one.

Emma is also saying words now. She knows "bye-bye" and waves, "toes", "up" and lifts her hands to be picked-up, and "aida..." which she uses to call him all the time. Aidan get annoyed at her following him around, and trying to do what he is doing. And so it begins...

I hope you are all doing well. Let's continue to celebrate Jesus' death and ressurection. What an amazing God!

Poetry Wednesday

Loss

I watch you in the moonlight
Your eyes fill up with tears
The emptiness speaks

There is nothing I can say
Words would only be hollow
Untimely sounds conjured

I wait for you to look at me
My heart pounds: it's too late
Finale rhythmic notes

Will I ever see you again
The door opens and shuts
Actions answering instantly

Emptiness

I watch you in the moonlight
Your eyes fill up with tears
The emptiness speaks
* * * * * * *

This is my own creation. I was just trying to capture that feeling when you know there is nothing that can be said to save a situation. That feeling you get when you know that you are going beyond the rescuing of a relationship.

I love playing with words and trying to make them say things between the lines to convey the emotions in the poem. (I don't know if that makes any sense!) In this case, I am really trying to make you feel the emptiness and loss that the person in the poem is feeling.

If you like my poetry, my other blog (Room to write) has more poems on it. I am going to be doing poetry every Wednesday.

Audition Jitters!!

So, I am going to audition for worship team on April 3. I am nervous already, and it is over a month away. It is a bigger church, bigger sea of fish...Will I be able to handle it? Will I be able to do what I am so passionate about doing? Has God really called me to do this or have I just imagined it? Jonathan is on a team already. Where am I supposed to be?

Time will tell, I suppose. If God closes the door on this, where do I go from here?

Sorry! This entry is a little bit scattered. These are just the random thoughts that I have going through my head.

Please keep me in your prayers for the next month, and especially on April 3rd. I need to practice the songs and know them like the back of my hand. Most importantly, I want them to be able to see my heart; see who I really am. I don't want to try and be anyone I am not. (I do not sing like other people on worship team. I don't add in a lot of frills, and runs, etc. It's not my style. So, I don't want to start doing that just because I think that is what they want to hear.)

This is hard. I am totally trusting God for this, which is always hard and always rewarding in the end. That's what I have to keep telling myself.
