NightWatcher, You're Ok

 written May 23rd, 2016


Every room is clogged with clutter

All your mind is chaotic wonder

and now I feel destructive thunder

in my soul too.

You try to reach me in hope

but Your unknown brokenness makes every gesture a joke

because I know you’re hurting

so now I’m hurting on my own

because of you.

Your heart’s reality

invites my heart to break more deeply

I guess it doesn’t happen enough

for me to know that it hurts good.

But I’ll enter in the mystery

of the scary mind we’re haunted by

and make your terror mine.

We’ll both toss and turn all night

at the stern with Jesus Christ.

I can’t take your feeling away.

I’m not strong enough to breath new life into today.

I can’t lead because I follow

but we’ll keep our eyes on tomorrow

where the winds have died and the sea is calm

and all we hear is the most sovereign voice of all.

Night Watcher, you’re okay.

The fact that you look is perfect enough.

The truth that you care means that you’re almost there;

the proof’s in your prayers.

The Master has answered and He’s waiting there

tomorrow

after the sorrow

has brought US closer together.

Dance Devotional Introduction

RandiDancing Devotional Creative Movement Activities to Activate Your Spirit Introduction Every person experiences connection in their own way.  Some can  hear  a song and then immediately be able to play it.  Others can turn the page of a textbook and photograph the information with their mind through  sight , and never need to open to that page again. Still, others must actually touch the equipment and take tactile practice for everything to click. We as humans engage with and respond to life and relationship experiences in different ways. I find that I express more of the height, width, depth and length of my inner life  through physical movement. I was endowed with the aptitude and even felt the necessity to dance rather than being confined to words, singing, tears, laughing, smiling and writing alone.  Dance or creative movement as worship is the idea of giving  all  you have. Most of us will speak, write, thi...
