A Picture, A Blog—Thawing Moments Frozen in Time

A blog is like a snapshot
frozen there in time
all sweet and nice the post is fraught
pasted in sublime.

So it goes, the words are inked
stamped in black and white.
Perhaps a day or in a blink
stay the words I write.
There they freeze a moment came
what God wrote my heart,
still the skin I live in, my battle is the same.

Godly snaps of what He shows
I share for you to view;
yet what to think of faulty lows
before my post is “new”.

Like a picture upon a stand
it’s framed in written hand.
Yet in the words flung so wide
are captured this earthen clay,
noting not all goodness abides
my path along the way.


But to Him I look
and stay my course,
my life I have forsook.
Going beyond these posts you see
my words from a thought;
rather to know the Author be
the One for whom is sought.

--Tammy


(After going through many boxes, albums, and zip-loc baggies of pictures for a scrapbook gift to my parents, I realized how many of the “good” pictures I’ve saved over the years. Not many of the not-so-good, or even the i-don’t-want-anybody-to-see ones survived, but still a few remain. Regardless, each picture is only a snapshot of all the living done in between. Like a blog, I’m living life between posts. And even if my i-don’t-want-anybody-to-see moments don’t get “snapped” in a post doesn’t mean I’m exempt from having one (because yes, I’m human). Although I feel blessed for where God has placed me in my life, I’m not always a good steward of it. In the end it’s not about how good I did everything, instead it’s about finding His goodness in everything. May we forgive ourselves our failings and run to the HIS perfect goodness!)

Inserted pictures are a couple of the "good" ones,My Sis and I back in the 80's when we lived in Dallas, Tx. Also, graduation from High School.
