poetry and prose

God, you know me so well. “Your gravest danger is worrying about tomorrow.”

Losing 30lbs is all my mind is focused on right now. I went to bed thinking about it and woke up thinking about it.

I want it to happen fast. And now!

Skinny and famous, God! But you’re telling me to live in today.

Alright. Well, today my stomach hurts. Today, I am getting my drivers license renewed. Today, I will go for a jog when my stomach pain subsides.

“I am fully aware of your situation, and I will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear.”

I trust in you so much. Life without you was full of challenges, but with you I know I can do anything. My mind feels at peace when I focus on You. I am so grateful to have found this reprieve.

Well, God. If I don’t need to pray for the happenings of tomorrow, then I will pray for the safety of my children, the strength of my husband, and peace for all living beings.

I pray for our fruit trees to bear sweet nectar, and our citrus trees to pull through! I pray for a marvelous oasis in our Central Valley home.

I pray for espresso shots and the smell of a coffee house.

Thank you for my health, God. Thank you for bringing me back to you over and over.

Bless the readers that come to my blog!

And of course the kitty cats out there that it was named after.
