Are like
Elbows
Everybody
Has one

No matter
What you
Do today

Will always
Have something
To say


Don’t let
Negativity
Rule the day
Mind over matter

A voice
A choice

As long
As
God
Is pleased
With what
You do
And say

Who cares
What people
Say
In the
Light of day

Live
God’s
Way

Convoluted
Something described as convoluted is very complicated and difficult to understand or has many curves and turns
Jennifer Weiss May 2015
If you really believe in something,
then friend...you better buckle up.
Because I believe so much in this one thing,
and the roads have never been more rough.
I have thought copiously about just giving up.
That my luck was over,
and that it wasn't half full or half empty with this cup-
No, it was more like...when did the cup dry up?

And that's the moment I realized what I needed to learn.
If this one thing is that thing for which all of me yearns?
If it is my destiny?
My heart?
What I am praying for in both light and dark?
Then why did I ever allow myself to give up?
Why would He make it happen if I didn't believe He could?
So now,
from this moment
I will no longer lack faith.
Because my God is the God
**who can do all things.
Even when it looks and feels impossible.
