Looking back
I wonder
about the difference
I made,
the mark I wanted
to make
maybe more of a stain
on the fabric of life,
Is how I’m wired
a misfire?
Fractured fragmented relationships
misunderstandings,
Then again
are these just the lies
of my emotions?
Am I believing the lies
of corrupt desires?

Hear the call to the
Prodigal,
“Return to home”
Hear the call to the
Prodigal
“You belong in the
True Father’s heart “
Hear the call to the
Prodigal
“Let’s celebrate in the
Darkness my love for you .”

And in God’s warm embrace
the soul soaking
speaking,
of the eternal God,
In this Private place close
to the secrets of God,
Who I am is revealed
who ..I ...am ...is ...revealed
in the seal
of God’s love,
I am fearfully
and wonderfully made,
I am Called by name
partnered with God’s heart,
I am a significant part
of the one body,
I am the one
known fully from womb
to every hair on my head,
I am made worthy...
How can I not
love the skin I am in?
How could I ever
Unknow what I now know?

What could happen
if I truly walk in the light -
expecting breakthroughs as I go,
Finding what makes
My heart come alive
Activated,
Experiencing a world
significantly bigger
than I am
But connected to the steps
of my daily world,
connected to the words
of Jesus
“Go and make disciples”
Connected to a glorious,
dangerous, exciting full faith,
Connected to the simple
complex love of God, self and
nurturing others.

Lord
in family, friends, church,
work, with strangers I meet
In the deep unity of your spirit
In the power of your love
In the summer of the harvest
In a sweet harmony of your spirit,
Let us create shared experiences
Shared stories
Shared life
Shared joy
Shared laughter
Shared purpose
Shared worship of Yahweh.

Starting Thoughts: Church camp in Hanmer was a time of opening ourselves, of being a church that has made room. A call to unity in love and spirit that makes change and expansion possible.
