The More Important Stories

Follow the Compassion Bloggers in Peru

No words here again today.

Sorry.

It's just anything and everything

And nothing is forming into words.

I think they call this writer's block.

It's okay, though.

Really.

Because there are much more important words,

Much more important stories

Going on this week.



Take a step with me

Outside of this comfortable world

To catch just a glimpse

Through someone else's eyes.

Hello, Sarah! Thank you so much for stopping by! I'm glad God used my clumsy lack of words to speak to your heart. He's certainly been using it to speak to mine. God bless you!
