was my spiritual womb
for a long time
it always changed the pace of my breathing and walking
there a mother of young children
became a daughter of God
there a pastor of a congregation
became a follower of Jesus
there a full-time caregiver
became nurtured and satisfied by the Spirit
It was beneath this rose cross in the chapel
I became an adult in the presence of God
as I encountered God speaking to my heart
"you don't need to kneel"
there a sinner
became a friend of Jesus
*It used to be just a drop-down canvas without a frame, which I loved the natural look
