showed up this morning
Cas in the kitchen creating Indian food
curry in the air
Cinnamon coffee brewing
Michelle showed up bloody,
Marie had put her boot in her face while she napped
Michelle clung to the doorway
ashamed of the way she looked
asking for Chip
crying, miserable, rainy
2.
ten minutes later I find myself in my apartment
she adorning my orange couch
pouring her coffee, cream, sugar,
ice packs for her swelling eye
cloth for the blood
the cussing soon disappeared and she spoke of change and hope again
life change
coming back tomorrow to sober up and start over
(this is what I want life to be about
freeing people from addiction through the blood of the lamb
speaking hope over them
anointing them with the oil of gladness
even if it is just cream and coffee
I want to serve with everything I own
and I want Michelle's eyes to slowly become clear
as the spirit cleans out the darkness that has so long resided inside of her
God is a God of amazing things
and He's been working on Michelle (all in His time)
she will be here eventually, like she says
and I'd rather it be tomorrow
than later
3.
Pray that she means it.
4. sitting on the couch with DanMike
worshipping
4 of our guys walked through the door
don, joe, dave, roger
each of them broken people, like me, like you
I saw the kingdom of the Almighty God walk through that door
soon
cloaked in glory
