Welcome to the Healing Our Brokenness Podcast Episode 27: Simply Grace. The intro and ending song that you hear on the podcast is entitled “Valley of Grace” and is song by Timothy Horton. Today is a special episode. Why is that? I will be ready poetry from a book that I published back in February entitled, “Simply Grace”. It is available on Amazon. Simply Grace is a compilation of simple, healthy recipes that are mostly non-meat, along with poetry that tackles tough issues that we face every day. However, these issues are seasoned with grace. I deal with truth, so that the truth brings healing. We are set free by true. I also deal with raw emotions.
The first poem, entitled “The Quench” deals with Approval Addiction/Perfectionism/People Pleasing:

The next poem, entitled “The Source of Self-Worth” dissects our need for self-worth, and not just the need, but the struggle to get it from things, rather than the main source.

The next poem, entitled” Coat of Favor” deals with the Life of Joseph, his trials, and his redemption.
Reading of the Poem
Have you ever taken matters into your own hands, instead of waiting on God? The next poem deals with just that. It is entitled, “Oh, The Pain of Waiting”.
Reading of the Poem
For those of us who have been through abuse, we must relearn what love is. That is what” Abide My Love, Dance with Me” is all about: God’s love poured out on me to reshape my thoughts on abuse. Secondly, it describes how I danced with my Heavenly Father during a period of trials and financial despair, and how God “showed me his back” as his showed Moses, so to speak, by allowing me to feel his presence for several hours.
Reading of the Poem
The last poem, “I am the Vine, And So Is It Time?” deals with a combination of things: the Crucifixion of Jesus on the Cross, John 15, and the Clematis vine that I attempted to tie to the trellis last spring as I was getting bit by mosquitos. The first time that I attempted this adventure, there were too many mosquitos out. The second and final time I was finally able to do it. However, just within the few days of break in between, the clematis vine had completely wrapped itself around one of the heucheras. It was a wonderful way to see the scriptures in action.
