~ ORDAINED ~
as the last day of 2011's minutes were ticking by i had the honor of performing a wedding ceremony
a gift i whole heartedly wanted to give
during my time away
one of my thoughts that replayed over and over
was about becoming ordained
first and for most
the seed was planted when i went to a celebration of one's life
and was saddened by the honoring of such
it was then that i thought
maybe i could do this
no...i wanted to do this
such a small gift i could give family and friends
and to those moving on from our place here
time passed...days...weeks...months...almost a year
and then a family member shared
they were going to the justice of peace
on new years eve
i swallowed hard
i remained silent
it drove me crazy
on thanksgiving it was brought up again
and this time i could not keep my mouth closed
"i could become ordained"
i glanced at my love and a smile he gave
i am no professional
not years of schooling behind me
or a decade of preaching or ministering
♥ ♥ ♥
just a belief that i hold in my heart
♥ ♥ ♥
i believe in love
to love and to be loved
there is nothing greater than thee
i am
EMERGING
from the shy quiet side
that has kept me from so much
and stepping out
i am
EMBARKING
on a new adventure
i am in the process of creating a page
for those seeking one who is ORDAINED
for their sacred day
i am
EMBRACING
my love of words
and celebrating them in the most wonderful of ways
