the death rattle
of the rain on glass
wind howling
in the eaves
i feel the earth
start shaking
as time's shuttle
loops and weaves

all that is within me
wants to turn and run
but i know that i must
stay here
and finish what's begun

within
three days of darkness
ghosts gibbering
ghoulish glee
i don't believe in
fairytales
but this wickedness
i see!

i'm hiding out
within the halls
of a fortress strong and tall
I would not have
been able to brave this
without these
sturdy walls

so, c'mon wolf!
just huff n' puff
try to ******* down!
squint your eyes
***** up your face
wear that bad ol' frown!

i await my destiny
with backbone
and with tact

I LIVE IN A
BRICK HOUSE!

and brother,

THAT'S A FACT!

My father is back from the hospital.
He doesn't have cancer
But there are other issues
It will require all the strength
within me to handle what's ahead.

But i have considerable strength within
I HAVE JESUS CHRIST

I must go to bed now
It's 3am. I've been up all night
assisting my dad

PLEASE PRAY

I Won't Forsake My Savior

Put me in a dungeon black
Put me in a jail
Keep me there with hunger, lack,
Hold me without bail
Stack the warrants, make 'em high
So tall you cannot see
You can pile 'em to the sky
But, brother, I'm still FREE.

I don't care about this life
This body, wrapped in chains
I expected pain & strife
Don't care for my remains
You can burn me at the stake
Break out the guillotine
I will die for Jesus' sake
Upon The Lord I'll lean
You may think this strange behavior
But ponder it... you'll see
I won't forsake my Savior
Because He died for ME

He died in greatest suffering
His pain was SO much WORSE
Vinegar the soldier's offering
When His lips were cracked with thirst
He was scourged 39 times
With whips with metal tails
They made Him drag a heavy cross
They pierced His wrists with nails
He died by crucifixion
The most painful death, they say
But HE HAD THE VICTORY...

... HE ROSE ON THE THIRD DAY!

(chorus)

Fear not the one who can destroy the body;
But fear the One who can destroy
both body and soul in hell

A DEAD WOMAN WALKING

=_=

I killed a woman
Years ago
She's buried away
On the low.

She was sick
From drugs and *****.
She couldn't win
For her chance to lose.

She was not
Easy to ****.
But i knew how
To find the skill.

I met Jesus Christ you see...
... the woman that I killed

was ME.

I'm a dead woman
Yet I'm living.
I died in Jesus
I'm forgiven.

My old self
Tries to rise
But i won't listen
To the same lies.

I'm in the Rock.
I'm in the cleft.
I am buried
In His death.

Now I LIVE
On Christ I lean.
I'm a dead woman walking

I'm REDEEMED.

I have BIG shoes to fill.

I just want to say I have
unconditional acceptance and, yes,
LOVE for ALL HERE.
Even my most vocal detractors.

I will be showing this by my actions.

Some may think I'm kissing up.
Nope. It's a reflection of my Faith
WHERE THE RUBBER HITS THE ROAD.

♡ Catherine

There are some excellent poets here.
I personally don't want to
cut off my nose to spite my face EITHER.

my brave little light

shines through the dark
through the sky
of blackness stark

my brave little light
beams far and wide
this small star
won't be denied

it's every planet
every star to flit
it's every fire
ever lit

it's every lightbulb
every moon
It'll shine
just like high noon

it's every candle
upon your sill
it's a city
on a hill

it won't go out
it won't dim
it won't be blocked
it exalts Him

it beacons out
through darkest night
it shows the Way

my brave little light

burdened

"Come to me, all you that are weary
and are carrying heavy burdens
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you,
and learn from me; for I am gentle
and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is light."

Mathew 11:28 NRSV

You carry heavy burdens
of options you have few
I know it is great hardship
for I was once like you
I had a weary heart and mind
walking in your shoes
but I found a Helper
In Him I was imbued
So take His yoke upon you
He will help with all you do

when the Word was written
two oxen used to plow
and were yoked to the heavy carts
great burdens to allow

two* oxen were used
held together with yokes of wood
one was inexperienced
the other understood

one was young and weaker
the other strong and hale
it would help the weaker one
who may slip and fail

it would stand by patiently
while the young one balked and grumbled
it would lift the weaker beast
if it fell or stumbled

this is what our Lord does
He helps when we slide
if we take His yoke upon us
and in Him abide

are you weak and tired?
under burdens groan?
Take His yoke upon you

and you'll
NEVER BE ALONE

harrowing

a song in 3/3 time

O, Lord, I've been in a prison dark
With jailers harsh and cruel
Searching for the smallest spark
This sentence overruled
I just hold to Your promises
Which bright and glorious be
I hold onto the precious light
Where I, in blindness, see.

Hallelujah!
Your blessings to impart
Hallelujah!
You're harrowing my heart

Though I am in the wilderness
I have no food nor drink
I hunger more for your goodness
I'm nearly at the brink
You put my shoulder to the plow
And I am weary, worn
But when a harvest you allow
It's then I am reborn!

Hallelujah!
You're working at the plow
Hallelujah!
My harrowing allow

Now I'm on the mountaintop
My hardships in the past
I look down at the growing crop
And I no longer fast
Abundant hope, abundant life
I bask in perfect grace
I've endured the deepest strife
But now I see *YOUR FACE.

Hallelujah!
Worthy is the Lamb!
Hallelujah!
Christ... the great I AM.

SoulSurvivor

During the times of deep darkness
Know God is giving you a deeper
Hunger and thirst for Him
But stay faithful! He is harrowing.
And will plant a more abundant crop
In your heart as a result!

I'm back... I went through the book
Of unforgiveness and have closed it
Finally and forever!

HALLELUJAH!

I AM TAKING A HIATUS
TO DO SOME
FORGIVENESS WORKS

I CARE FOR YOU ALL

See you soon!

~♡~♡~♡~

I have a lot of people to forgive
I have been a targeted individual
for over 20 years
the subject of slander
and harassment from the
"Church" of Scientology

I was on staff with them
back when I was 17.
I left without permission
(a major sin in their eyes)
they have a "Fair Game" policy
anyone who is a "suppressive person"
against scientology
is labeled a "degraded being" and only fit
to die a slow, painful death

for twenty plus years
I have been systematically tortured
physically, emotionally, mentally
and spiritually
they've attempted to induce suicide
that way they could commit ******
But THEIR hands would be "CLEAN"

THERE ARE MILLIONS OF TARGETED INDIVIDUALS WORLDWIDE

PLEASE PRAY FOR US ALL
