Showing posts with the label artists

little bits of light

Today, as I’m starting to feel like I can breathe again,  I  went to the mailbox and there was a little white bubble wrapped package waiting for me. My heart stopped for a moment. Hand written on the back it says, “handle with love.”   A little bit of light. Just when I needed it.     I can’t remember meeting Kyra , but my strongest memory was going to her house, to pray. I evolved from my youth group upbringings, and there are few people from then or from my school years who I keep up with, even in the typical social media ways.
