scarlet letters....and 5 minutes

From Lisa-Jo's "On Fridays around these parts we have a little tradition. We throw caution (editing, revising, and worrying) to the winds and just write. Without wondering if it’s just right or not.For five minutes flat. You’re welcome to play along. The rules are easy. Write your heart out for five minutes and show us what you’ve got. Tell your readers you’re linking up here and invite them to play along.

And most importantly, go visit, read, and encourage the fellow five-minuter who linked up right before you.{Pretty please turn off word verification for the day to make this easier!}

Easy peasy. Oh and there’s always a little fun something-something in it for one five minute artist. Last week I got to give away my very own DaySpring Mother’s Day card (how cool is that?!) to random winner Dancing Joyful. It’s not too late to order your own right here.

This week there’s a totally cute All Things Are Possible Water Bottle by DaySpring up for grabs.

OK, are you ready? Give me your best five minutes for the prompt:"

If I Knew I Could, I Would…

GO:

If I could, I wouldn't wear a "D" for the divorce of my past. The way I lived thinking like the world and living any way I pleased.

If I could I wouldn't wear "P" for prodigal waste. Making choices, so many wrong ones that all led me straight back to the only right One.

If I could I wouldn't wear "F" for failure. To be a Momma and have a daughter far from you and know how it feels like failure many days. But knowing deep down, only He makes successes.

If I could, I wouldn't wear "H" for hurt. All the pain I inflicted and scattered like debris' of my past.

If I could, I would wear "L" for how He "L"oves. The only true thing which filled all my wandering days with hope, this Love. Beloved "L"over of souls who wooed me ever so gently in my darkest hour of need. "L" for "L"ovely in all His ways,"L"ord of my life who gave His very own. "L"ife. And more abundantly than I'd ever known.

If I could I'd wear "L" that letter drawn in scarlet.

And I'd look to see if you wore one too. If not, I'd hand you mine.
