When the day was done
in the battle we’d begun
small victories had been won
but the war rages on
Our faith we did maintain
and from doubt did refrain
though the combat became insane
’twas fought with little pain
More we must now do
before the next does ensue
but, Father, we trust in You
to carry us all the way through!
Teresa Marie 12/1/11
It can’t be what God planned
when He had first created us
From another something we demand
or throw them under the bus
The love in Him I know
as sure as I am alive
Doesn’t expect that His child go
right under those wheels to dive
A relationship toxic to you
I believe with all my heart
God wouldn’t admonish you to
never, ever from it depart
Lord I need You to guide
and lead me the right way
To help them heal inside
give me the words to say
You’ve been so beaten down
to feel broken beyond repair
It seems that you are boun’
to the cross of your despair
But I know God wants you
to know you’re never alone
No one has the right to
make your heart turn to stone
You have more love to give
in the smallest of your fingers
Than if forever they should live
when the hatred in them lingers
So give it to those who
are the ones that deserve it
And unconditionally accept it from you
instead of making you earn it
For I just don’t understand
what it is that they expect
When they’ve done nothing but to
show you contempt and disrespect!
For Ash, I love you very much!!
Teresa Marie 11/23/11
Don’t ask God to make
what things you can’t take
To be easier on you
but rather ask Him to
Make you a little stronger
that you will last longer
Bad times to get through
because He has blessed you!

I feel like this picture of the moon: out-of-place, off kilter and partially here.
I went and got my drug screen done this morning for court. One thing down on my list of things to do for everything and everyone. I’m bushed already.
Got up at 5:45 to get Sara up and going for school. That girl wakes up slower than a ten-year itch!! Almost hit a guy on a bike on his way heading for campus. I didn’t see him and he was riding right out in the road. It was dark out still and he didn’t have any reflectors. It would have been my fault though.
It about gave me a heart attack and probably him too! I told Sara that I was not rushing around anymore to get her to school on time just because she took 45 minutes for remove herself from the bed! Next time I will do what Mark said to and pour water on her, lol!!
After I dropped her off, I went to the lab so they could cut my hair 😦 I don’t have all that much left as it is and I hate having to lose any more of it than I have to. But, at least that’s done with.
I’ve got to go start getting the coffee made for Mark and figure out what to make him for breakfast and what he can take for his lunch/dinner tonight. I hope he gets a day off soon ’cause he is dead off his feet, poor baby! He has worked four 12 hour shifts in succession.
Just wanted to shoot off a quick note to everyone and let you know that I’m pretty busy but will catch up with you all just as soon as I can!!
Always remember that Jesus died for us because He loves us!
Peace and blessings,
Terri
A big labyrinth
it does seem
more a nightmare
than a dream
Where there is
great endless stairs
that increase worries
and your cares
For they go
on and on
where has the
time all gone
Feel you’ll never
find the way out
as your fear
gives way to doubt
But hold on
there’s an end
on this fact
you must depend
Don’t give up
you must have hope
or you’ll never
be able to cope!

“Do you think
you’re tough enough
to make it through
when it gets rough?”
And she said
“I think so
but you never
really do know,”
“‘Til you’ve begun
for yourself to fight
because you know
you’re doing what’s right.”
“Do you want
to take the chance
when first blood
you more than glance?”
“I’ll tell the truth
go for it all
when the time comes
my name they call!”
“You’ll have to be
pretty darn strong
but what you’re doing
is nothing wrong!”
Teresa Marie 10/21/11
God allows us trials
that muscles we build
to makes us stronger
and spirit be stilled
It may seem that
I am being absurd
but we need strength
here among the herd
When we are all
jostled and juggled around
without having any trials
where is strength found
With training for running
the heart’s made stronger
and the more we do
we can go for longer
So in your trials
remember it’s for muscle
and don’t let God be
lost in the hustle & bustle
Teresa Marie 10/18/11
