room to soar

a calling

I have been working on a project for church. I had ideas I liked but could not execute. Then the I figured out a new way to proceed. I still was not pleased but pushed on. I started creating and was pleased but near finished it still did not seem quite right. When I woke this morning, I knew what to do and what was needed. There was no cross in the piece. The cross needed to be there to make it the rest understandable. I know it was God who gave me this missing piece. I have felt or knew that art and creativity is my gift or calling for sometime. This was proven loudly to me today. I will share the piece later on but I am sharing the above piece now since I feel creatively empowered and justified. Praise be to God for His many gifts.

getting through the tough times

I can

I can hold it together

As long as God holds me

I can survive my own life expectancy

As long as God forgives me

I can do greater things

As long God blesses me

I can be of good cheer and gratitude

Because God lives in me

Message for your journey!

 

 

Spring-like weather in late February lifts my spirits.

God’s joyful blessings strengthen my soul.

A loving family fills my heart.

Careful living supports my framework.

God’s word saturates my mind.

I will forever lift my praises to God.

My prayers will reach his heights.

He will hear and honor them.

Life will be recovered.

Creative gifts

art and words calm me

 

 

My soul seeks quiet and peace.

My heart longs for love and joy.

My spirit needs serenity and calm.

My body needs strength and respite.

Prayer gets me through the hard days and long nights.

My mind wanders through jungles of thoughts.

My schedule is overloaded with everyone and everything but me.

My world is cramped by life’s troubles.

My family is sick in body and mind.

Prayer gets me through long visits and lengthy calls.

finding hope

life is foggy
days run together
forming years

mind is shutting down
thoughts overlap
causing tears

body is fatigued
escalted pains
losing energy

heart is weak
beating irregularly
growing lethargy

spirit is fading
perseverance is gone
dwindling hope

soul is lost
grace has disappeared
no way to cope

Balance

To find a quiet moment

and hear a message from within

leads to a feeling of balance.

To care for the soul

and nurture the spirit

leads to a feeling of calm completion.

To trust your Maker

and understand your blessings

leads to a life of joy and peace.

To share your resources

and knowledge

leads to finding your purpose.

To give of your talent

and use your abilities

fulfills your purpose

To lift another's spirit

and increase their self worth

humbles your own life

and gives it a sweetness like nothing else.
