Take My Plans, Trim Me To You

Posted on February 2, 2023February 2, 2023 by Maria Huemmer

Take my Plans, my goals, my life

Trim them, cut them, mold them to You

Let me be weighed down, if it’s your will

Let me break under the weight

The icy weight in its beauty bears witness to the reality of nature, the cold apathy of physics and thermodynamics and precipitation and weather

Big concepts, small metaphor

Big changes

Big cracks, big displacement, big outages, big risks

But the foundation is firm on rock

The other side may try to freeze me in, ice me out

The other side doesn’t win

I will break where I need to

Melt where I must

Bend and sometimes not break

What’s left may not be pretty


May be a small, asymmetrical remnant of the original

But it is me, crafted by the great Author, and it is well, and it is good

Very good.

Journey With Me!

My name is Maria and I am a child of God, a wife, and a mother.

My mission here is to create a space to share reflections, walk and learn with others on the spiritual journey, our quest to seek out the purpose of our earthly life and spread the good news!

Everyone's journey is different, but I believe that ultimately the path can lead us all to the same place, which is peace, truth, and Love.

Thank You!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by! Never forget that you are a unique, unrepeatable, precious person for whom God deemed worthy to sacrifice His Son! God bless you! 

True Love

Love never fails. (1 Cor:13:8)
