touch my ugly

touch my ugly

let Your love light up my coffin

be with me & the cobwebs

 wisp away, my heart remembers

its song

again

& everything new—

from my piano key toes

 to garden brain.

I want to walk with You in the

cool of the day, going forward

together

that’s all I desire:

together.

have my ugly. I let

You in—to my basement

of dark & spiders & dust

fix me. find me.

only You can

make it better

the pain like cabooses crushing

my chest

yet normal

because it’s all i’ve known

yet You

yet, You

touch my ugly

wash my wounds

i’m ready

100% seen

all the way

known

I welcome

You

I’m done

hiding

behind my leaf loin

 cloth

find me

have me

i’m Yours

The Encouraging Mom

Hi! I’m Annabeth, your internet mom. Everybody needs more fun, more color, more love! I am here to lighten your load—to listen, help, and of course, encourage you! I create painting songs and drawing dances. May my art soothe like tea and help like a hot bath. When it’s raining in your life, come take refuge in the cozy sweater I knitted you, and enjoy this little corner of internet cozy cabin, where the coffee’s on and you are safe. I love you, person reading. More than any person though, the Answer to storm is Jesus! He’s completely transformed my life, and any good you see in me, is truly Him! I want to pray with you—come into the Love who is Son, and who can breathe life into every cell of your soul. He’s the God of hope, caterpillar-to-butterfly, and He works best with mess! Come to Him as you are. You’ll be surprised! God is love.💛
