I learn not to lose control
By allowing fear
To cloud my judgment
Anxious, in a panic
What good is that
When you treat
Loves ones with disrespect
As the calm sets in
I feel guilty and ashamed
For letting the enemy
Have his way with me
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV

Hungry for food
And anything
With a soothing aftertaste
A daily boost
Is what I told myself
Knowing these things
Are not good for me
Considering the effects
Of the choices I made
Looking back
Just in the nick of time
God delivered me
Now strength and vitality
Can exist within
As I take care of this temple
Where the spirit of truth lives
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22 KJV

Living each day
Following the same schedule
An empty void
An unfulfilled life
It has to be more
I reckon
The feeling of stagnation
Draws me into a deep
Bottomless pit
Subjecting myself
Ignoring the call
To a life of meaning
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3 KJV
2/12/18
I tremble at the thought of going it alone
Persuaded through revelation
Surely this is not my home
While I live here biding my time
I must continue to fight the good fight
With the Lord by my side
He gives me courage
As I read His Word
Unwavering faith
Carries me each day
Cause I know
The victory belongs to the Lord
Assuredly
And we know that all things work together for good
to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 KJV
2/5/18
Awakened within oneself
To accomplish an unknown task
That leads you to a crossroad
On the right path
You recognize the difference
As you ponder in the mirror
Your demeanor has changed
The way you use to be
No longer exists
Who is this person?
Others have noticed
How well you communicate
Softly, gentle, with ease, and patience
I want to learn
To become
What you called me to be
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:9 KJV
1/29/18
You may have endured
Suffering, hardships, difficulties or afflictions
Why?
The question you repeatedly ask
With pain in your heart
A message came to mine
But you never received it
God loves you
He brought you out
He kept you
Now it’s time for you to acknowledge the truth
The plan God designs is only for you
You might become broken or dismantled in transition
This is when God’s greatest work comes to fruition
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. Psalm 34:19 KJV
01/22/18
Searching for love
How can it be defined?
Longing for that which embraces
The inner deepest part of me
It’s intense
How can I explain
He knows me
Who I am, What I need,
That which I thirst for
Fulfills me
I surrender
For this love
I will never let go
For my life is eternally yours
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:14 KJV
1/15/18
A feeling of being let down
Can leave a stain
That’s difficult to remove
You’ve washed it
You’ve dried it
But still
It was visible
Now let’s dig deep
Underneath the surface
By thoroughly cleaning
From the inside out
Removing and Replacing
The guilt, the hurt, the anger and the bitterness
With forgiveness
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. Psalm 51:2 KJV
1/8/18
All on my own
The struggles and rejection
That have come my way
Caused me to strive more
Each and everyday
No support
From my own family
When I fell off
A glimpse of reality
set me straight
Nothing comes easy
Dedication is what it takes
I learned that the hard way
The strength, courage and help I received
It had to be God
Who delivered me
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Hebrews 13:6 KJV
1/1/18
I look for you
When I wake up
While I’m eating breakfast
During my travels
At my place of work
When I’m eating lunch
When I arrive at home
When I’m greeted with a smile
At the dinner table
Before I say goodnight
To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, Psalm 92:2 KJV
12/25/2017
Can we start all over?
Put yesterday’s troubles behind
Mend the hurt
That’s deep down inside.
Too many years have gone by;
But I am here now
My apology
Will you accept?
It’s long overdue
I’ve come to realize
It’s not only about me
Your feelings matter too
This time,
We walk
Not by ourselves
But as one
With God
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Psalm 51:1-3 KJV
12/18/2017
Lost don’t want to be found
Carrying my own problems
Within myself
I make the decisions
Its my way or the highway
Is this what I’ve subjected myself to
Knowing deep down inside
This is not who I want to be
Pride
Has covered my insecurities
Enough!
You voice of condemnation
no longer control me
A message I received about
Jesus
Has set me free
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1 KJV
12/11/2017
Amped up
Ready to step in with both feet
Trusting God
Waiting patiently
In pursuit of someone
To pray for me
Not believing for myself
What the Lord has told me
Must remember
To believe
Prayer helps
God wants to see
That trusting in him
Begins with me
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:23 KJV
12/04/2017
Stuck in a rut
Unable to move
There I go
Thinking too much
Absorbing the everyday issues.
Oh, here I go again
Lest I turn away
Defy the norm
That continues to lead me astray.
Not this time
It’s so real
The truth
Staring right in my face
This is not a mistake
But on purpose
That I’m here today
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32 KJV
11/27/2017
In search of a day
Without pain
Without sorrow
Without suffering
Without lack
Looking for the strength
That my Father said is mine if I ask
It’s too heavy for me
The weight is unbearable
I fell to my knees
And looked up where my help cometh
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. Psalm 121: 1-2 KJV
11/20/17
Take into consideration
Your life was known
Before mankind
What you see now was written
In hopes that you would realize
He who has come
Will come again
This time His return
Will be your last chance
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2 Peter 3:8-11 KJV
11/13/17
An image I saw
It was difficult to describe
Standing from afar
Hearing deceit hidden in disguise
I’ve traveled this road
Unaware of the scars it would leave
Now
Foolishness is not the company I keep
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV
11/6/17
Oh Father, you touched my heart this morning
You released my thoughts
Of feeling dismayed
I cried and struggled
Instead of looking for you
I decided to take matters
Into my own hands
What good did that do?
Oh, what a wonderful Father you are
You saw me in my distress
As a Father your words of encouragement
Guided me through my own mess
I recognize what I took for granted
Is that
I am blessed
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. (Psalm 18:6 KJV)
10/30/17
Although it’s been difficult
I still hold fast to my belief
I trust you God
For you and you only,
Have been there for me
Regret, pain and sorrow
No longer live here
Because I forgave
I now have the faith to live in victory
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. (Matthew 21:21 KJV)
10/23/17
Sifting through the unwanted rubbish
Ridding oneself of the bitter taste of defeat
Torn between what is real or is it just disbelief
Pacing up and down unable to decide
What should I do
Helpless on the verge of despair
Crying out loud
I asked God, are you still there?
I am here
Nevertheless, I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. (Psalm 73:4 KJV)
10/16/17
What life brings our way
Stand strong don’t be dismayed
Another season heavier than the last
Though the enemy may be fierce
God has a plan
It will prove to be a blessing
To those who follow His command
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. (Genesis 50:20 KJV)
