Don’t Call Her Weak
Jesus is her Strength
Back in February I shared a poem,When We Don’t Have the Words, about being awake at 1 a.m needing to pray for a friend, and in the past few months, as we have fellowshipped and prayed together and shared our stories more I understand why!
This story is written for a friend who went through something I can’t and won’t put into words, but through it all her desire is to grow closer with Jesus!
Don’t call
Her weak
Her testimony
Would bring
You to your
Knees.
~~~
Don’t call her
Weak
But she’ll be
The first to admit
Her strength is
Not her own
She finds it
Leaning on the
Lord!
Don’t tell
Her she’s strong
Either
She will reminded
You that she’s
Strong because
She has to be
Strong in the spirit
But she’ll remind
You too
The flesh
Sometimes
Make us weak!

Exploring New Beginnings: Amanda Larson’s “January First” Captures the Promise and Reflection of a Fresh Year
January has always held a special place in the human imagination. It is a month that marks both an ending and a beginning, a moment to reflect on the past while looking forward to the possibilities ahead. In her poem “January First,” Amanda Larson encapsulates this duality with remarkable grace, offering readers a meditation on time, renewal, and the quiet, often unspoken emotions that accompany the start of a new year.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
