Read MorePrecious Crimson Stream
Precious Crimson Stream By Kristin Haden Sweet escape. God, I want out. I deserve to be vomited out of your mouth. Indecisive at best, flat rebellious at worst. I’m a wretched sinner, Lord, but You loved me first. Can I still be redeemed? Is there any grace left? Oh merciful God, take this load off my chest. For I am too weak, too small, and too quiet to resist, fight off, band together in riot. But if God is for me, who can be against? Perhaps all this time I’ve been riding the fence. I choose this day whom I’ll serve no longer. “Get thee behind me, Satan!” My God and I are stronger. Now I remember what my knees are for. It’s been a while since I was down on this floor. Well, here I am, Lord, exhausted, worthless, broken. But I fully believe every...

Read MorePoems Written At Different Times In My Life After Spiritual “Spring Cleaning”
Hopefully, we have all learned to self-evaluate and set things right every day. But with our busy lives, it’s so easy to let that time get lost in the shuffle. Here are three poems written at different times in my life after spiritual “spring cleaning” and self evaluation, realizing I had gotten off the path and needed forgiveness of God as well as my spiritual family. May they touch your heart in their reading as they touched mine in the writing. Today’s A New Day! Sometimes I stumble and feel that I’ll fall. It’s like I’m not really a Christian at all. I act the part, and wear the name, Say all the right words, like playing a game. The love is there, but it’s buried so deep. It has to be there! Right now it’s...
