Though my heart aches and I feel alone and abandoned,
Though others reject me and cut me with their words,
Though I am shunned by some who do not understand
my plight,
Though the daytime in my life has turned into night.
Yet I will rejoice in my God.
And not give up the fight.

Though my body ages and my youth fades,
Though I have no work or way to be paid,
Though my future is uncertain,
and loved ones walk away.
Though I lose all I hold dear in this life.
Yet I will rejoice in my God.
Who gives and takes away.
And I will trust His sovereignty.

Though my heart is filled with grief,
Though I see no evidence of Him answering my prayers,
Though my eyes pour forth tears.
Yet I will rejoice in my God.
Whose love is forever near.
The only Love which will last forever.

Is not an easy task
But it is rewarding
To do what Jesus asks

My father now needs me more
A new level of care
So I will look after him
I'll always be there

My mother is not able
Handicapped herself
And so it is left up to me
I put much on the shelf

I won't be on the site as much
I guess a rarer bird
But I will still share with you
You will read my words

I will need strength in spirit
I must find a way
If you find it in your heart

Please help me and PRAY.

I AM A SINNER SAVED BY GRACE. JUST LIKE YOU.
NOT THAT I CAN DO
WHATEVER I WANT TO
I AM SUPPOSE TO BE
A LIGHT AND LOVE TO
SHOW NOT JUST YOU BUT ME
HOW MUCH GOD'S LOVE CAN LEAD
HE IS THERE BEFORE HE HAS THE PLAN
YOU KNOW WHY BECAUSE HE IS THE GREAT I AM

The devil has many ways
to keep you craving for desire.
He's inside your thoughts,
Suducing you in what you admire.

First, your under his spell
Next, he lures you into the fire
Then, your heart burns and ache
Finally, you start to loose your desire.

This is when you realize that it wasn't love....
It was 'LUST'

Lust isn't love
It's temptation,
It's a drug.
It's like ecstasy
that you just
can't get enough.

Lust isn't meant for trust,
it's what we want
until our fantasies are crushed.

Flee youthful lust:
for God has our hearts
even though if temptation
seems tough and our minds
get rough.

Therefore, we must be careful for what we desire
Because it might be lust and keep you down
I'll admit the devil is a filthy liar
and he will try his best to come around.

Peace
      is
         flowing.
Like a river
         within me.

Casting
       every stone,
               every lie,
                       into the sea.

Peace
      is
          flowing.
Like a river
          within me.

And then
       the waterfall of joy
            meets the river
                      of peace
                               within.

And I realize I am complete in Him.

Don't approach a dog unknown to you
Holding out your hand, making eye contact
You may frighten him
Let him come to you

Don't write a poem uninspired
It won't work out
In good time
Let it come to you

Don't go out there seeking love
Like a child with a butterfly net
Live your life
Let it come to you

I know that life is tough, and getting tougher as well.
This is why we need to rely on Strength from God.
For it shall be the thing that keeps you from giving up.
For we are made into Great Warriors fighting for God.
Not in flesh but in Spirit with his words of truth and justice.
For this world justice is not the same as Christ justice .
For we fight with Love, Gods unconditional Love here.
While this worldly warriors fight with human understanding.
With human strength but our Strength is by far greater.
Because our strength is not of this world but from God.
