Writing and God go hand in hand for me. I love inspiring others through writing to reach to a higher confidence in their faith walk. I hope my writing encourages you. I also love movies, vinyl, dancing, and I have fondness for dogs and mint chocolate.

Dying Beauty

Why do all my words seem empty?

Like stale bread?

Overcooked and needs to be thrown out

I tried reasoning with you

I open my mouth

And move my head

The words are few

There are no guarantees

I love you more than you apparently love me

I feel like a expensive painting in a deserted museum

The painting is peeling and ripping

I miss you as a friend

But did I cause your limping?

The exit is your only freedom

Is this the way it will always end?

I guess dying stars still have beauty

We are all Heaven-Sent

Fingerprints in your soul

As unique as your fingerprint

You say you aren’t paying rent

But aren’t you heaven-sent?

Your cells are fluttering like butterflies in your body

Don’t worry about your mortality

We all getting ready for the finale

When we will wake up to a new reality

Better Days are Coming

When life ebbs and flows to the shore
Like a caressing substance of hope
Do you implore?
Looking for the wider scope?
The wider scope of resistance 

Answers come and go
But why fret?
You need to go with the flow
Let go of regret
The regret of the past

I used to want to know everything 
Now I am happy in the sunlight
With evergreens and birds singing 
There’s a battle in the day and night
A battle for control

Will you hold to your self?
And forgive more easily?
Bitterness dries up the wealth
Do you believe me?
Believe me, better days are coming

Thoughts for Today!

Suffering brings fruit!

If you want victory surrender to God first!

The world is tainted with truth but the Word is an absolute


If you want to experience the Holy Spirit thirst!

Give to the unnoticed and misguided because Jesus did!

If you want freedom abide in Christ

Be mature like an adult but like love like a kid

Forgive 77 x 7 times not just twice

Soul’s Ache

Withstand

Every demand

With your head

In your hand

Feeling scared

Underprepared

If you trust God

Know He cares

Delegations

Uncomfortable situations

Be bold

Keep your ambitions

Jesus to the cross

Shows whose boss

It’s destiny

Not a coin toss

This world is ugly

Deepest black sea

A current

Of hypocrisy

Jesus says

To pray

For everyone

Esp. for your enemy

Trust your faith

The soul’s ache

The map of longing

To never forsake

Footsteps in the Garden

Idle talk 

Can you walk the walk?

Some days are strange

Can’t handle the change

Bad fruit on the vine

But I say I am fine

Pluck the weeds

To cover up my greed

And idle hands

And unmet plans 

God, where are You?

Will you make my heart anew?

I hear your footsteps in the garden 

I hope my heart doesn’t harden

But I am scared

And underprepared 

But You say, “I take you as you are”

I will be with you no matter if you travel far

More Christian Encouragement

My identity is found in God, not in this world!

As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. John 15:19 NIV

The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. 1 John 2:17 NIV

God is love and the greatest love you will ever know! Love can be wonderful here on Earth but it compares little to a Heavenly type of love!

Belief is so vital to God answering prayers and sometimes its God’s sovergnity to just answer prayers! Just look at Gabriel telling Mary she will concieve the child Jesus! It was God’s sovernity!

The angel Gabriel told Mary, “‘For no word from God will ever fail.”

”I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.”

Luke 1:37-38 NIV
