you call me a fool,
laugh at my hopes, now you sit
head in hands feeling
the weight of your displeasure
seeing all my dreams come true.

I Am Woman
What better way to start off the month of March, recognized as Women’s History Month, than with my favorite lyrics from the Helen Reddy song that birthed the phrase “I am woman, hear me roar!”
You can bend but never break me
‘Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
‘Cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul.

The Devil Is Defeated
Heavy burdens beyond control
That’s the devil trying to steal
Kill and destroy, attack with zeal
Leaving a giant gaping hole
Wreaking havoc deep in your soul
Tiny pieces left to rebuild
To find a way you must be willed
Just spread your wings, take flight and soar
Light of your life shines bright once more
No dreams deferred or unfulfilled
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
— John 10:10 NIV
