Thank you Flora Jessop January 20, 2014
I am overjoyed and filled with hope to see the face and hear the voice of one of my heroines and inspirations over the last 10 years again. Many of you are probably aware that TLC has a new show called “Escaping the Prophet” about the FLDS, where Flora Jessop and Brandon Jeffs are profiled doing what they do best. Helping FLDS captives escape to freedom. Flora has been a fierce warrior against the FLDS abuses (along with many others) for so many years. It brings tears to my eyes to be able to watch this. Thank you Flora for your example to me. Thank you for your strength, for your encouragement, for your words of truth. Thank you for working tirelessly for so many years to expose this, even when people didn’t believe you. I have wanted to be like you “when I grow up” since I met you! And I know that I will be. The world is getting ready to do something REAL to stop all kinds of abuses, and its because of people like you, Flora, who never quit and never give up. No matter what you keep speaking the truth and helping as many as you can. I don’t know if you will ever realize the impact you have had on me over the last ten years, and how you have helped me realize that I too can help free the captives. Flora, you are AMAZING!!! And I am soooo happy that you and Ruby are finally together again. Victory!!!
Rebirth January 8, 2014
Rebirth, the life that comes
After death.
The changes, constant changes
Of my voice, my will, my strength
Struggling to break the barriers
of silence.
This journey is one of dead ends,
winding roads, twists and turns.
And heartbreak.
But heartbreak in the search for love
is only a rock on my trail.
For only with the deepest agony
The greatest joy comes.
I find my purpose!
To love and be loved
Sit on the snow-capped mountain
and look down on my life
To realize how far I’ve come.
My footprints have left my trail
I remember where I’ve come from,
And my triumph is my rebirth.
From Ashes to Fire January 5, 2014
My Big Brother sat with me on the bus today
I wept with the love He showed me
The beauty in the world around me
And the truth of who I am
How much I’m truly loved
My heart is indeed on fire now
And there is nothing I want more
Than to feel that kind of love
In everything I do
Everything I speak
Every choice I make
People may not understand
We are all human, all flawed
Abba, please forgive us all
And put fire in our hearts
Help us see through the “man”
In all of us on earth
Judgements, hypocrisies, lies and unbelief
You love us with the same fire
No matter how broken we are
Speak life to my dry bones and ashes
The wreckage of the past
Which my Brother took away
I know the truth now
And I weep with joy…
Man will always fail me
And I’ll always fail myself
Without You I would be dead today
But Your fire, Your fire
All I need is You, God
Its just You and me
Only You know everything about me
And breathe life back into me again and again
Only You, Only You, Only You
You’re all I’ve ever needed
Child of Truth January 2, 2014
To the children born to darkness
To the slaves waiting to be set free
To the ones holding on for dear life
Wondering if there’s hope anywhere at all
To the ones who’ve seen the lies
Since the days you were so small
They smile as they hurt
They tell you not to cry or you’ll be next
The hypocrisy, they put your Creator into your pain
They turn your tormentors into your saviors
Yet you still see the truth
Their world is lies, and you’ve always known
Listen to me, Listen, Child of Truth,
I thought there was no hope for me too
But you are not a slave, I am not a slave
And we are right, the world we were born into
is LIES, all LIES
And you are beautiful
And smart
And amazing
And your Creator smiles
At your questions
The questions that bring you punishment now
Will bring you freedom, Child of Truth
Don’t give up,
Don’t Die!
I am waiting for you!
There are many of us
Though we feel so alone
We will expose all their secrets
And freedom will be ours
Creator gave us a gift
To see through their lies
To shine light on their secrets
And bring freedom to the slaves
The generations coming after us,
Waiting for us, Waiting for Hope
Waiting for a hand to reach out to them
We have to survive this, Child of Truth
It hurts so bad we want to die, but we won’t
We won’t because Creator gave us a mission
We are going to free the slaves
Slaves, like we once were
We will be free one day, free for good
And we will bring hope to the others
I need you
They need you
Please don’t die
Stay with me
We will expose this together
Cherish Freedom
