God Says Yes to Me

I went away on retreat this weekend, and it was a truly blessed experience for many reasons, among them our wonderful retreat leader and my fantastic fellow retreatants :) You know when people say you can feel the love in a room? Well there was lots of that, literally. There were enough wonderful things about this weekend to fill several blog posts, but I'm too tired to get into details right now - I'll spread it out over the next few days. For now, I want to share this poem, which cheered me up immensely in the midst of all the serious thinking:

God Says Yes to Me - Kaylin Haught

I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I don’t paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I’m telling you is
Yes Yes Yes

I like the idea of a God who calls me "sweetcakes"...
