About Me

Aka: Pat Kashtock. Mother of three, wife of one. BA in Social Work and Biblical Studies. Graduate work at Virginia Tech interrupted, then derailed by oldest child’s brain tumor...

My life has not followed the course I planned. But I am not complaining. Pain is to be expected in a world broken apart from its Creator.

The miracle resides in the ability to find joy when least expected...

For What It's Worth

Each life is a journey. The voices of many guides try to direct us, saying, “This is the path – walk in it!” Yet each one leads in a different direction.

I believe only one Voice can be true. That Voice will lead us in ways most unexpected, into worlds yet undiscovered. It will lead us up the hill, around the river and through the forest. And sometimes, it will lead without mercy.

Or so it seems.

I have made listening for that Voice and following it, my life’s quest. I will share some of what I have heard that Voice say with you. But I am not in the business of telling people how to think or what to believe. Each has to decide for himself. Only you can decide if you find the truth of the Voice in these words. And only you can decide how much it is worth to know the Voice, and follow.

But for me, it is worth the whole world.

Dusty Pictures: Heidi Elizabeth Kashtock

Dusty Pictures

 

verse 1:

I dusted your picture today

and I remember

when life was full of promise

and the dreams we had

were something yet to be known

I look at you, your picture

with eyes of brown

a heart of gold and I remember,

I remember…

 

Chorus:

Oh, where did the time go

the child go

when did she leave?

I want to know

what happened

how did it happen

is it real?

 

Verse 2:

I reach out to hold you but all

I hold is a picture

your picture with the smile

that always warmed my heart

Must it be that I will never

see your eyes again sparkle

the way that they sparkled

in the sunlight? and I remember,

I remember…

 

Chorus:

Oh, where did the time go

the child go

when did she leave?

I want to know

what happened

how did it happen

is it real?

 

Bridge:

And I’m left here

askin’ all the questions

never hearing the answers

never hearing your laughter…

 

only the falling of dust

onto the rug

 

Chorus:

Oh, why did she go

must it be so

I will never…

I’ll never know

what happened

how it happened…

what might have been…
