In the Dark.

In the Dark.

Summer days always seem to end the same -
with the breath of God against the horizon,
His whisper on my skin, a shiver cool and inviting,
before the sun descends into another balmy night

bare feet rooted to the soft earth -
I wait for a slowdance of fireflies
carried on a crescendo of cicada song
under the ambient lighting of the moon,
the pearl of Oklahoma

this is my home -
tender blooming of a country rose in my chest,
I lay back under a blanket of sky, stars woven in pattern,
head pillowed by a fragrant hope,
wondering if you would hold my hand in the dark

Great week!

This has been a really busy week, and it's actually still pretty busy -- but I wanted to stop and jot down a few lines of thanks to some special people:

God - You are amazing, and I love You.

Mom - For real, you are a support raising machine.  Thank you.

Kathy and Craig - We couldn't have pulled off the chicken salad fundraiser without your help.  Thank you so much for donating the ingredients we needed and for cooking the chicken.

NaNa - Who knew you had mad raffle ticket selling skills?  Thank you for getting a heads start on that while we were finishing up the chicken salad luncheon.

Brenda Moore - Thank you so much for inviting me to the Women of Worship meeting this week.  It was great meeting all of your ladies.  Talking about Japan was a bonus.  I really appreciate Church Central Women of Worship's support.

Women of Worship - See above, really thank you! It was great talking to you and the food was delicious!

Tina - Thanks for teaching me and mom how to make homemade tamales, they were delicious and really did sell well! It was really fun - also, just thanks for all the hard work you do with Wagoner First's Women's Ministries.

There are many more people who have just really got on board with my support team for the next year - and I appreciate each and every one of you.  A few dates to remember:

June 3-5 - Wagoner Summerfest....we'll have a booth with Wagoner First Assembly to sell raffle tickets for the grill!

June 5 - Last day to buy raffle tickets for that Grill Master 4-Burner Gas Grill!

June 6 - Raffle drawing - winner will be contacted.

July 16-17 - Missions Garage Sale, location will most likely be my house. More info TBA.
