Theses Eyes of Mine

These eyes of mine...
Once veiled by the fog
Deceived by the cloak of fear
Seduced by the presence of chaos
Intimidated by the brutality of defeat
Now open to visions of clarity
The presence of possibility now in view
All things laid ahead of you 
Appealing to the hope etched so perfectly in your vision
Open wide, my eyes...
See the veil of torment and alarm being lifted
Open wide, my beautiful eyes...
Witness the defense of your Savior as He pleads to our Father
Watch in awe, my great eyes
As the Father prepares a new vision and offers it to you as a gift
These eyes of mine...
See that you are beautiful
See that your sight has been restored.

A Year and a Day

A year ago, I couldn’t fathom how I would make it to this day October 5th...the day after October 4 th … the day my life changed forever…the day where I began to question everything I thought I knew, the day where my future began to look hazy…the day consistency was broken, and my one constant since life began was gone. I couldn't even comprehend the idea of living in a world without my father...and I still can't. But let me tell you, God's grace is sufficient and sustaining. It carries me even when I don't feel it, especially on those days where I question him, and I don’t understand his plan. There will always be an emptiness in my heart, and I will never seek to fill it. That space is reserved just for Daddy.
