God my HEALER (heartsick) . . .

          This poem is kind of an accumulation of things I am grieving for and how I feel.  I like to think that it's okay to express emotions like the psalms.  I am also stressing about a paper, so this was a short break.  I have been struggling with pain from the past.  Sometimes I don't understand why people hurt others so much, but most of the time I don't think that they mean to do so.  We all learn to cope in different ways.  Some ways are VERY unhealthy. . . I have learned through good and bad experiences.  Thank you to God who carries me through.  



Heartsick . . .

When you love someone so much,
that it drips out of your soul,
When you love someone so much,
and when they leave it makes a hole,
When you love someone so much,
that you are torn like fluttering ribbons,
what is one to do?

When you love until it hurts,
because you hurt for their hurts,
When you love until you are sore,
When you give and give
until you can't give anymore...
what's a soul to do?

When I feel so much,
and long for a loved-ones touch,
but what I give is taken,
and I feel rejected,
where is the remedy?

I long for a cure,
for my heart to be sure.
Oh to know and be known,
those broken places and wounds unmended.
I need a gardener for this heart so long untended.

“Heart on my sleeve, not where it should be.
Take it slow, take it easy on me . . .
Shed some light,

shed some light on me please!” (Feist)   

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------               

So Father God, 
please hold me here. . .
and take this weight from my sickened heart.
There are things too great to bear,
please take these things is my current prayer.

Thank you for mending the broken places
a stitch at a time.
Thank you for healing and renewal.
I AM A NEW CREATION
and yet it is a progressive process. 

You love Me.
You love me with the sun and moon,
you love me enough to pull me from gloom.
You are there to carry me through,
I really would be nothing without you.

Thank you Yahweh, Jesus, Holy Spirit,
thank you for immeasurable love.
Even in trials, my cup overflows.
Your love is STRONG!
You are enough for me.
Amen.

Becoming New...

Good evening y'all, It has been a long day, but it has gone by fast.  Sort of ironic.  I'm sitting at home trying to get some rest from this cold that's clinging to me like a crawfish...??  I know I've been at work too long when I start sounding out words in my head that I see--like the word, Th-i-n-k-ing.  Or I start saying the words that way to adults when they ask me a question. This 2016-17 school year I am a LITERACY TUTOR in AmeriCorps.  It sounds kind of fancy when you put it that way.  I spend my days working one-on-one with about 16 different students on various reading interventions.  We work on short reading passages or blending together small words.  This also includes a lot of paperwork, data entry, prep work, bribing and coaxing via small toys, candy, and cracker items.  It should involve a lot more praise than scolding, more high-fives than head-shaking, and you get the picture.  The work is often rewarding, but also where I want to bang my head agai

Hi everybody!

Hello everybody! I've never had a blog before.   I have Facebook though.  I don't really know what to do.  If other people can comment on here feel free to ask me about my life  : )   Oh, apparently you guys can comment so that's good.              So this is Jasmine Fairbanks and I am at the Teen Mania Ministry's Honor Academy in Garden Valley, Texas which a Christian leadership school/ministry internship, basically, yet it's a lot more.  It's sort of like being on a mission trip because we are working toward spreading the gospel, but we stay in one place and reach people through the phones, etc.  I call for the Minneapolis Acquire the Fire youth conference.  Our event is on Feb. 4th & 5th, which is in like 2 weeks!  I'm excited, I get to go and help!  We'll help set up the event and with registration, etc.  This weekend is also the Houston Acquire the Fire, which I will get to attend.  This will be the first full Acquire the Fire that I've

The Lord disciplines those He loves, gives grace to the humble and strength to...my soul.

Hello!  I hope you are doing well.  : ) Here's a poem I wrote the other day:  God, please help me to be strong and apoligize when I'm wrong. I know if I hang onto bitterness I won't last very long before breaking into pieces.  It's like a rotting disease-- like leprosy. But, God, I know that you can heal me! You heal the broken-hearted and bind up their wounds.  God, make me whole!  I want to be made whole in you, set free and fully redeemed. Please drive out of me all that isn't from you-- all my sin that is keeping me captive within. Free me to live for you God and to love you. Free me to speak truth and cultivate peace. Help me to live in humility and harmony. God, break down these walls that I build up in my heart. Break my cynicism, anger toward others, and hatred of myself.  Lord, please help me to see myself as you see me-- as righteous, loved, valuable, beautiful, set-apart to you and set free. I know that it'
