Sticker-Patch to Field of Flowers

This was a creative writing project I wrote in November 1998 while at Montgomery College as I completed my prerequisites for Nursing School. It amazes me to look back and see what I was thinking and going through even nine years ago. I'm in awe of how much God has been maturing me and turning my vision as He heals me and fuels me as I keep my face toward His. Step back in time with me and listen to the heart of a woman stepping forward into the next stages of her life...

My World

November 1998

My books and writing implements

Computer and modem attached to telephone

Connect me to friends and associates

Near and far

Connecting with others

Alike and different

To discuss, to laugh, to work, or to complete common goals

My writing informs

Puts into concrete form what is nebulous in mind

For further perusal and thought

To analyze what is real and what is confused

To come to a greater understanding of

How mixed up I really am

Coming and going to religious meetings

Of service and tradition

Are shaken oil and vinegar together

Never joining completely in my mind

But heels dragging, performing with trust

That usefullness will occur from my works

Showing the lost ones love

As I serve and show them the Way

My heart and spirit strive to soar with God

Above this sticker-patch called life

Waiting for the time we can be together

Biding time by seeking His face

Communing day by day

Enjoying His presence when

With transparency, I pray
