long suffering

...having a package in your possession for almost a whole week that is "time sensitive" and can not be opened until Saturday at noon...   (it's worth the wait therefore i'm going to bed)-khristen

his-guh

to love me as you do

and me barely know you

to sacrifice as you did

knowing i would sin

to pursue me in your way

as i steadily "ran away"

to keep me as you do

and me barely acknowledge you

to stand so strong and true

and unconditionally always be you

to look at me with grace

knowing the shamed expression that lived on my face

i love you

to tangibly express your love for me

in the form of simplicity

the form of one touch

one hug

that moment may feel like an infinity of graces wrapping me up

healing every crack, scrap, and smallest cut

like ointment to my festered pain

calming my rage

redeeming my name

one hug-one love

lovelegacy

break up this life, solid and strong

defenses so high, protecting the lost-parts of me

broken pieces, not found so-easily

puzzle showing it's face

astonished at the outcome and place

ready to reach into the deepest deep

jumping off with both feet

empowered to leap, soar, and dive

plunging in waters that awaken and revive

the source that flows so freely through

quenching the parched and springing life anew 

as far as these waters reach

flush green past what is seen

farther still past all you've known was meant to be

this production rare and undiluted...

elements of pure immutable qualities

timeless attributes that keep

past temporaries of shallow legacies

cultivating more than materialistic securities

developing a culture for eternity

reaching the core of our families

shaking the grounds of truths and liberties

producing richness that sets us free

sharing freedom that gives eyes to see

revolutionary giving that creates simplicity

creating a love legacy.

bounce

desire burn bright

bounce right out my eyes 

gleam so loud 

passion travels the speed of light

how does that sound?

the sound of time...

Patience holds that sound in hand

while watching your light take it's stand...

where passion is birthed and starts it's race

pushing the bounce and setting the pace

Patience connects both pace and speed

balancing desire and priority

allowing the Source to direct each step

hitting each mark completely, purely, and purposely. 

  Lord, keep me-khristen

simple joy

compliment the morning 

before your feet touch the ground

wait on the coffee...

finish singing your song

before you turn off the shower

stop and smell the flowers...

let the wax run over

before you blow out the candle

make believe with the clouds...

go ahead and eat your taco bell

before you put up the fine china

dance with your kid in the kitchen...

clean the mirror

before covering blemishes that don't exist

bask in the sun ...

turn on the light

before looking for matching socks

try m&m's in your popcorn...

genuinely smile

before you greet an enemy

walk bare foot in the grass...

pause

before you speak

take 10 minutes to just dream...

wash hands

before you shake

finger paint a wall...

talk to God

before you sleep

thank your Daddy for simplicity...

3am/running in my dreams

remnants of old self that resinate through

this process of redemption and making me new

chasing me in my dream tonight

stricken with terror with fight or flight

fear of words unspoken

who i've been is still a part of me

something i can't release

envelope this heart of mine

heal these things not in sight

how strong is your love

i need to know

a love that dismantles sin

a love that covers what's within...

forgiveness sounds sweet

spoken over me

i need you to consume me

burn up these remnants that linger

bring peace to this soul that fears rejection

... can i just spell it out for the world to see

pearls to swine

filth that judges me

you are beautiful dear one

please pardon my actions against you

against myself

sweet spirit conquer my dream

you are the maker of my eternity

the planner of my healing

the transformer of my realities

thank you for being with me

i do not dare to walk alone

i'll trust you with all of me

Daddy, can I hide behind your mercy?-khristen

from you to you

i look to you and walk

i won't stop

steady is this pace 

we may slow down.. speed up.. even "trip" up..

the pace will continue steady and sure

like the beats of blood that run through me

is this pace that awakens me in the morning

ready to walk to you.. run if necessary

to you this pace is set

the pace that carries these processes 

that lead 

to you/destination

your will is my desire more than the morning

This life has set me apart

Decisions have drawn out my course

Left me standing by your side

Left no place for doubt in my mind

Standing in this sanctity the clarity is amazing

Overtaken by your goodness and your gift

Your attention to detail

... details of my desire...

desire you no doubt put in me.. 

fashioned to me... 

now you set before me.. beautiful you.

Thank you for your attention.

thank you for loving me so.

you love me through you

you love me with you

thank you
