. Lord, Forgive me I have been so Wrong. Teach me To sit in the stark Realization Of a heart off course, Till I can learn To turn my life Into the roaring surf Of Your will. Of Your glory. Of Your grace. Of Your work. Teach me the Thrill Of You alone. Teach me the Rush Of laying down my life. Teach me the Passion Of dying to self, Day after day In perpetual Worship. Teach me the Joy Of painful devotion. And keep me Confessing My sin. My heart. My mistakes. Till I can stand Changed In form and action. Changed By You. For You. Amen . Today is day 50 of the 100 days project, but I’m sharing the poem I wrote yesterday, on day 49, because it resonates deeply with me. . I also pray, that I never stop praying this prayer. #the100dayproject #the100dayproject2019 #the100daysproject #100daysofpoems #100daysofpoetry #confession #prayerjournal
-Keep Talking- . Keep Talking . Pushing the words Out into the light Sharing your heart The vulnerable spaces . Keep Talking . And I pray the place Your heart lands Won't bring rejection But instead healing . Keep Talking . And all will be In time and care And openness Made clear. Set free. Healed. - Alesha Sinks .

Happy Mother’s Day to my Mama! (swipe 👈🏼) . Here’s a pic of me and my boys today, because I know you’ll want one. Also, below is today’s poem, which is for you. . Almost anytime I talk about you with someone who doesn’t know you personally, they say, “Your mom sounds amazing!” And I always respond, “She is! I’m so blessed.” Because you are. And I am. . I am so very grateful for the life you gave me. I was given such a sturdy life foundation to build on as an adult, and I’m overwhelmingly grateful for that. . So again, happy Mother’s Day. I love and miss you. . -Mama- So many pieces of me I take for granted, Mistake as innate. Till I stop and watch You live and love. Then with sudden clarity I see myself, All the pieces of me That aren't accidental at all. Instead they are hours And days and years Of you sacrificing, Pouring yourself into me. Yourself out for me. And most of all Pouring yourself out Before Jesus. Letting Him fill you So that you could pour Into me something better Than just yourself. I hope that I Can pour myself Out that way too. - Alesha Sinks #mothersday #thrivewhereistand #thrivemoms #1000gifts #100daysofpoetry #the100dayproject #the100daysproject
I wrote a long poem today. One of those poems that’s just for myself, just for my brain. No one else. . But I pulled the last stanza out to share with you, because as I reread it, I realized it applies to so many people in my life: most of all my Mama, my husband, and these two cuties on my lap. And I’m guessing, you might find that it applies to at least a couple people in your life too. If it does, I hope maybe you’ll screenshot it (swipe 👈🏼), share it with them, and say thank you. . So thank you @brooksblessings and @travissinks. I love you both so very much! . I should have said thank you For the things you taught. They are part of me so deeply I can't separate them from myself. And I don't want to. Thank you - Alesha Sinks #the100daysproject #the100dayproject #100daysofpoetry #sinksfamily #heysweetpeter #ohlittlejames #thankful #mothersday #mothersdayunplugged #motherhoodunplugged #thrivemom #thrivewhereistand #mademeamommy #getaftergrateful #1000gifts
I read today in Acts 4, about the arrest of Peter and John. They had healed a crippled man and the people were so amazed that Peter began preaching the gospel of Jesus and a mini revival started right there. . The religious leaders were so upset by this that they put Peter and John in custody overnight. The next day in questioning, they were asked, “By what power or by what name did you do this?” ‭‭(Acts‬ ‭4:7b ESV‬‬) . And Peter, full of passion and fire, answered, “...by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well.” ‭‭(Acts‬ ‭4:10‬ ‭ESV‬‬) . Oh the boldness in that statement. It inspires and frightens me. And I think it frightened Peter a bit too. But because the leaders couldn’t keep them in custody without severe political repercussions, so they let them go with a warning. Essentially, stop preaching the name of Jesus, or else! . And what did Peter and John do? They went back to their church, their fellow believers and prayed. . I share some thoughts that stuck me about that prayer in my Instagram stories. Feeling God stirring some things along these lines in my heart and I’m asking Him to help me lean in and hear Him clearly. . And because I’m still writing poems everyday.... . They prayed for boldness To preach His name. They prayed for Him To keep doing His work. They didn’t have to ask For Him to keep them humble Because they had seen Holy God Both crucified and resurrected. And there was no question in their minds As to where the glory, As to where the credit, belonged. - Alesha Sinks #the100dayproject #the100daysproject
Yesterday was a good day! . It was such a joy to celebrate my friend and her family and boy number three that I can’t wait to meet soon! . Also, Star Wars is a pretty fun baby shower theme! #maythe4thbewithyou #maythefourth #maythe4th #babyshower #starwarsbabyshower
The days have been long in motherhood this week, and Friday isn’t even here quite yet. I feel like every piece of me is sucked dry and it’s not enough...or maybe that’s just the clock talking, because it is after 10:30 PM and I am decidedly not a night person. . I snapped this photo for my husband when he texted to check in and I replied, “This exact moment...excellent.” The moment was short lived, but thoroughly enjoyed. . With all the struggle and frustration parenting has brought this week, I thought that I needed to focus on the good of it a bit. So here is today’s poem. . The Numbers of Peter & Mommy 1 sunrise, scrunchy-nose smile 2 top-of-your-head, lean-in kisses 3 head-heavy-on-my-shoulder, wake-up cuddles 4 head-tipped-back, playful-eyed grins 5 shrieking tickles on your baby belly 6 nuzzle-nose kisses in the soft of your neck 7 wheeeeees you into the air 8 squeezy pinches on your chubby cheeks 9 wobbling toddles to run into my arms 10 never-gonna-let-you-go, Alli’s-right-in-the-world hugs . I guess now I need to write on for James, huh? .
