Fearless Daughter

I am fearless because of the gift of Christ, who conquered sin and defeated death upon the cross. Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." I am a daughter because of Psalm 68:5 "Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation."

Shepherded

My cup overflows
overwhelmed
dumb sheep
holy shepherd
surely goodness and mercy will follow me
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever
keep going
keep typing
preserve this sentiment
this feeling that is the product of
result of
tears
lots of them
exposing myself
selfless is from Christ
in the house of the LORD is my shepherd I shall not want.
Selfish is two sheep, one seeing myself as important
entitled to
peace
calming sanctuaries
intimate friendships.
Grace is seeing other sheep as souls
longings
hopes
fears
brokenness.
I cannot demand rest in church,
silence is better
but I cannot demand it.
Sheep who are lost, but are brought in together
All shapes and sizes
pasts and presents
all brought together
bloodied wool
that is not our own.
this is not our home.
