shredded and stretched...

you stretch me...
 many of us have experienced
the pain of
our hearts being
shredded
and stretched...

we pretend
we are fine
we act as if nothing has shaken us 
but in reality our core has shifted and our foundation has become weak.

...dear
we are lost for months...
not until the healing begins
do we realize the extent of the damage

when we surrender to our powerlessness
we become powerful
our lives become manageable
 peace begins to heal our scars...




Psalm: 51:10, 12

create in me a pure heart, O God,
   and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

 restore to me the joy of your salvation
   and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Relationships and love can be difficult, challenging at times!
Anne and I are taking Britta down to the Thrivent building in Minneapolis for lunch tomorrow and a look at your paintings! Can't wait!

have a little faith in me: john hiatt

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try
And have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

And when your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darling, from a whisper start
And have a little faith in me
And when your back’s against the wall
Just turn around and you, you will see
I will catch you, I will catch your fall
Just have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

‘Cause I’ve been loving you, for such a long, long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
‘Cause for us, there is no end
And all you gotta do, is have a little faith in me
I will hold you up, I will hold you up
And your love, gives me strength enough to
Have a little faith in me
Hey hey
All you gotta do for me girl
Is have a little faith in me
