No words today.
I’m ok.

Blocked

I’m
Pulled
And pulled
And pulled
And I’ve
Pushed
And pushed
And pushed
My Bible away.
Is that what that feeling is???
I posted
And posted
And lost my way.
Again.
I’d be tired of me
Exhausted
Trying to deal with me
Status to fb
I’m blocking me
Report me
as spam.
So why doesn’t He?
Then I get this
AFFIRMATION
Of who He is
To me
For me
With me.
Then I know
What it is to be me
And only
For Him.

Went grocery shopping today. I love how they almost look like a fist with smooth knuckles.

The NEED
To create
A photograph
At times
Is palpable.
There’s an itch in my heart
God scratches
With photography.
It’s solitary in creation
But can bless many
Like God’s creation
Of His most prized possessions.
And sometimes
There’s no hidden meaning
Just a thing of beauty
To be fostered
Created
And shared.

Evan had a tough time in the children’s ministry in church today.
Sometimes he knows when he’s been bad.
Today he had absolutely no control of his emotions.
Daddy just held him.

Treat

I know I’ve strayed from Him
And my soul feels the departure.
When my soul can’t take any more
It commands my flesh
To return to His word
And feel like I never left His
Arms.
Is that all love?
If it is there’s no room
For self loathing
Because it will always die
When confronted with
The admitted and unabashed
Proclamation of His love for me.
Then why do I do it?
It’s almost like a dog
Chasing it’s tail.
And evil loves that chaos.
It eats it up.
His word puts me in line
In order
With His love
And direction.
Which is boring
For evil.
So
When it fixes its eyes on me
And sinks it’s teeth in
Spit me out.
I don’t have the taste you want.

The pic:

My poor son sick
But asleep.
Finally.
He’s doing MUCH better now.

These images
Are Thank You notes
To my Lord.

Taken today with Instagram and Pixlromatic apps at Mines Falls here in Nashua, NH.

Medicine

I have not
Because I ask not
But He gives me
A soft spot
To land on
Even though
I hurl myself out of
Buildings
I built
Without Him.
And I don’t know why
He does it
Or when
He will
Except
In spite
Despite
And for spite
Will not stop
Him.
And damn it,
That’s exactly
What I need.

The pic:

Me when I should be sleeping.
Wide awake and needing to take a picture of SOMETHING.

Pool

Lord can we talk a minute?
When You bless me
With little things
I cry inside.
Which is cool.
When You bless me,
And exceed my expectations,
I weep openly.
AND I WIND UP
LOOKING CRAZY LORD!
AGAIN!
Mascara runnin’
Eyes red and puffy…
Can you make me look
A little better
Next time you bless me??
I’m just sayin…
PLEASE BLESS ME,
By all means,
Just make me look good
When I receive it.
Hmmm? What’s that?
Uh huh…
Oh.
I see.
So…
if there’s nothing different
About me
Who would want to know
About You?
*pause*
Touché.

Kenya Support

March 11, 2011

Dear Family and Friends,

I am writing this letter to request your partnership in an upcoming ministry trip to  Nairobi Kenya with my church, CrossWay Christian Church.  We will travel to the slums of Nairobi in June/July and will be working with The Hope Partnership serving in the Mathare Valley slums.

The Mathare Valley slum is approximately 3 miles long and a half of a mile wide.  Roughly 1 million people live there.  They lack the basic necessities of life, including adequate housing, clean water, and sanitation services.   Educational opportunities are negligible.  Complicating the problem is that there are very few jobs to provide the income needed for families to improve their lives.  While many diseases are prevelant in the slums the effects of AIDS are devastating.  There are countless orphans and vulnerable children throughout the slums, where the infection rate approaches 40%.

The Hope Partnership serves the community in these ways:

1). Provides education, clothing and nutritious meals for the poorest children in the village

2). Teaches HIV/AIDS awareness and education, as well as information on caring for those living with this disease.

3). Sponsors a microenterprise loan program for launching small businesses.

4). Offers basic health and wellness education.

5). Plants churches, offers family counseling and religious education.

Here is the website for more information on our partner and the mission trip: 
http://www.cmfhopepartnership.org/

We will be doing home visits in the community, installing skylights in shanties with no electricity, taking food to the sick, and teaching simple ways to live healthier and better.  I will be documenting the trip through photography.   You can see my images from my previous trip to Nairobi on my website:

.

I am wrting to ask for your support.  Please keep me and the team in prayer as we prepare and as we go.  Your prayers and encouragement mean a great deal to me.

If you are able, please consider supporting me financially as well.  The cost of this trip will be approximately $2,500-$3,000 per person for travel and expenses while in Kenya.  This certainly is a lot of money.  That is why I am asking for your partnership.  Whatever you feel led to contribute would be very appreciated.  No amount is too small (or too large  J).  If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me.  I would love to tell you more about our trip.

If you elect to support us financially, please make your check payable to CrossWay Christian Church and put “Africa 2011” in the memo line.  For tax deduction purposes, please do not place my name on the check.  Place the check in the envelope included with this letter and it will be credited appropriately (feel free to copy and paste this post into Word to print). Mail to:

Crossway Christian Church

Nashua, NH 03062

Attention: Kenya 2011-Kym Scott

Please understand that all gifts toward Short-term Ministry Trip costs are non-refundable, and the church will make the final decision for allocating all donated amounts to each team member.  If for any reason a particular team member is not able to go on a trip, funds initially allocated to that team member will be used to support other costs of the ministry trip.

Even if you are not able to contribute financially, your prayers and encouragement are very appreciated.  Thanks so much for being a part of this adventure.

Sincerely,

Kym Scott
