We are healed by what we are . . .
what we were made to be.
The preacher must preach,
the singer must make her music,
the writer must write.
Death is in the denial
but life is in the acceptance . . .

Took a shaking step . . .
suddenly my spirit soars . . .
faith overcomes fear . . .

I am called to soar
Broken wings cannot stop me
He enables me

I heard the sweet sound of a bird
calling out from a high branch.
No answer,
he didn’t give up.
He showed no anger.
He listened . . .
he called again.
He sang.
He enjoyed his perch,
then called again
and waited some more.
He performed daily tasks while waiting.
The cycle repeated.
THEN,
the right time came
and he got the Word .. .
He sang with such joy!
Love is patient.
Love never fails!
Love is eternal.

I heard your voice
calling my name.
I answered “Yes!”
