now

the revolution sign is

hanging by one pin tonight

isn't that how it feels sometimes

but it's still readable

we are still marching on

.

i liked his hand because mine looked so small inside

and today God show him that success is your great love for him

and sitting in your blessed presence like he will for eternity

is enough

success is your love and that's it

his hand looks small in yours, that's what this childlike faith

is all about

he is marching on

.

the first time I met Marie I had to feed her because

she was shaking so bad 

the spoon wouldn't sit still long enough

to get to her mouth

she came back a few times 

for a shower

walked away with Brooke's clothes on

refused ER visits though she couldn't see straight

because of the cocaine the alcohol

her demons

that was three weeks ago

tonight she announced that God is asking her now

to give up cigarettes

she is a flower, bouncing around, cooking

meeting with God at noon, her hands raised, prayers murmured

I watch

miracles do happen

she is marching on

.

Sarah asked us to sit on the ground

legs crossed like indians

we grabbed hands and started praying for the person on our right

Roger, the warrior

Jen, the fierce sweetness

Dave, the king

Sarah, the watered

Michelle, the fullness

Brad, the tower

Frank, the changed

Steve, the honest

Marv, the healed

Don, the mover

April, the new

we are marching ahead

.

that's all I've got

to

say

about

that

This morning Marie

bandaged my knee, she turning into the Mom around here

2 weeks can really mess up a persons life

God tends to do this in a very organized way

ps.

This morning God beckons me into my internship which I feel like I could jump out of my skin about. Over the last 3 years he has really put in my heart this desire to be with youth and help the youth. This morning, after my run with Sarah, God sent us two girls - Antionette and Amber: 17 and 18 years old, moving in tonight. They've been wandering the streets, sleeping in snow, prostitute homes, shelters for three years, finally, after 1/2 hour of being here they feel they are home, finally home. God laid it on my heart that we are going to be mothers now, in an intimate, mom's of teens way--also a baby on the way. 

God? You are good. You will provide. I am going to put on a George Muller suit and walk around in it. Provide for the Boiler room. Provide us with food and money to help support these women. I do not fear because I am not alone. You are good. You are good.
