Stay alert!
False promises are everywhere –
Hone the gift of discernment
-Meisaan Chan
False promises are everywhere
To think that I can be me, just as I am
To think that I can be me, just as I am
chips and cracks and glories and all
is an incredible thought;
it’s like that singular moment
where, after wearing shackles
you freeze in nakedness, disbelieving your freedom
and then you believe
and then you run

When unbalanced
Everything that doesn’t matter takes up so much space!
– So you cannot see what does

Handling fire
This is not a game or a hobby,
this is my heart afire

The Lord my Bed
Scared, scared, I run to you
and hide in the Lord my Bed, who covers me

Allowing God to sift you
means allowing God to remove
anything and everything that obstructs,
especially the self
