Car Doors Open, Words Unfold

A car passed by

Looked like your dad’s

More status, less grill

I’m sure you drive one new

 

That white hearse he gave

As he pushed your life

I imagine future passengers

As you peer down the road

 

Your throne a higher seat

In a new but familiar place

I’m turning my neck to see

Then back at my path ahead

 

I shed a tear when reminded

You travel with another

Still I’m surrounded, accepted, loved

By followers who venture the same way

 

My prayer is answered

I progress solo, seeing doors open

Witnessing my words unfold

Holding your belief in me, thankful

 

Don’t forget our road trip

And how the highways here

Intertwine, so many possibilities

Even for a new car on a different route

 

We intersect on our great path

For we traveled together

And will pass time to time

A kind face pairs with a friendly wave

 

Perhaps a stop for fuel

Opens our tanks to renew

Dunk in coffee, our pick me up

To find our young faces reminiscing

 

We raise our gaze to each other

Meeting longing eyes that never changed

The loyal brown loves yet and admires

The big heart of his understanding angel

Waiting Ten Days, Then Ten More

My mom’s getting married in ten days. Her wedding starts my fall events and holiday season. Yet I’m not ready for any of them. I have my dress and accessories to be my mom’s bride’s maid. I have the weekend off work. Yet I don’t have a gift, and I haven’t penned a toast. Like in other aspects of my life, it seems like I’m waiting for a clear sign that will never appear; I need to make some decisions based on the information I do hold.

I know the wedding is rapidly approaching. For the most part, I have an idea of the course of events during the course of the weekend for the small bridal shower (at the spa), reception dinner, ceremony, and reception. It may be a small, casual affair, but it’s a wedding nonetheless. I want it to be special for my mom even if it seems like she doesn’t want a lot of attention drawn to her and the wedding. This marriage, I have the opportunity to serve my mom and bestow gifts accordingly. I just need to get over the uncertainty I see and decide to do what I can to make it special. Who says I can’t share a meaningful toast even if I’m the only one who stands to speak with a glass of champagne in hand?

The same stands true for my career aspirations. I can’t tell you which company will hire me and for what position. Another fog of uncertainty stands in front of me in that realm. Sometimes it feels like I’m grabbing at air as I reach forward, but as I keep extending my arm I will eventually find something in my hand. Again, I may need to make a decision with the knowledge I do possess. In this situation, I have to evaluate my priorities to determine what will put me in the best environment to meet my needs and desires. Certainly, this entails me moving back to a city. My decision may just have to result from contemplating the potential despite not having definitive plans yet. Either way, they will unfold in time. I just must decide what action to take.

The time to decide starts now. With the wedding rapidly approaching, the final countdown has begun. I must pick an appropriate gift and purchase it. A talk with my brother can determine if we can organize a joint toast or presentation of sorts during the reception. After that my career clock still ticks. While I may not have a tangible date like I do for the wedding, I don’t want the main attraction to pass me because I stood too long in the fog without moving forward. As I keep reaching, I can adjust my angle by making decisions to boost my potential for success.

I’m staring at this blank page

Holding the pen in my hand

Wondering at what age

I will know what’s next

 

Yet the journey gets me there

I just have to follow

My Lord who meets my stare

He makes the plan

 

So I carry this blank page

Next to the Word in my heart

Knowing no matter my age

I can fulfill His plan

 

For Got gifts me as He pleases

For the benefit of all

When I share it eases

The body we strengthen as one

  • Starlit Darkness 
              As it felt like I continued to fall deeper into darkness, I reminded myself to keep dreaming positively.

  • Falling
          These plain manicures go back to the fall. The season marked a time of change and a new look at my world. Perhaps the perspective in what I held in my hands stole some of the focus and expression I would normally have for my nail art.  I went from a bold […]

  • Plain Sparkles
    After the Top Shelf plain manicure, I had another plain one with some sparkles added. I just didn’t feel spirited enough to enjoy my me time. I still made myself go through the motions though. I might not have been applying makeup regularly, but I kept my nails polished. The little touches kept me from […]
