Free to run, dance.

Poem (from like a week ago):


I am free to run and free to dance.
Take a chance.
Be filled with His love
again and again.

When you are empty,
give Him your ashes.
He will trade them for beauy.
Be refreshed by His love.

It's only when I breakdown
that He can break through.
God makes all things new.

When I realize that I can't handle it all,
I give it over to God.
It's a violent death to myself,
but a total freedom in Him.

I am free to run and free to dance.
Thank you Lord for all you do for us.
Thank you for your grace.
I love and praise you Lord.  Amen.

Restless Heart...

"My name is DJ Jazzy Jazz (aka Jasmine), and I like Goats!"  --This is how I introduced myself at the dinner table tonight.-- "You can't introduce yourself like that and not do the thing..." -other staff. Cue the faux beat boxing, "Boots and cats and boots and cats.  Bts cts. Bts cts."  And the children become quiet and confused... wha?  "Jasmine, tell us your dream about goats!" -other staff. "I want to have goats that go on a trampoline!" -me Such is one of the many interesting conversations that occur at the youth shelter where I work.  It goes by many names... Emergency Shelter Program, Youth Crisis Shelter, Youth Shelter... et cetera. There are some days that push me beyond my limit.  Days I am like - Why. Is. This. My. Life. ? ? ? And there are days where I feel, "This moment is what it is about.  This is why I am in it.  It's worth it for this moment."  Is that the way parenting goes?  I feel I...

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 ...

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. ...
