Safe place

A place to lay my burdens down, at the cross.

A refuge from the storm, in your arms.

A place to lay my head, in your lap.

A place to worship, at your feet.

When I am with you, I am home.

Relevance

What is relevant?

What can I learn today?

There are new things to learn everyday.

Allow your intellect to grow and mature.

Take everything in that you can.

Absorb it and leave the rest.

High Esteem

Attributes that I hold in high esteem.

Integrity.

Dignity.

Respect.

Truth.

Trust.

Honesty.

These are attributes that a man with a great character possesses.

Whatever Until

I will do whatever it takes.

I will pray and immerse myself in the Word.

I will continue to look forward.

I want to see the purposes of God fulfilled on the earth.

I can't just walk away from the people and the promises He has given me in the past.

Nothing or no one can prevent His purposes from being fulfilled.

None of us know how or when He is going to fulfill them.

It is not up to us who is there and not there.

It is up to God and His timing.

Trail of Tears

There are traces of lines upon my face left by the tears rolling down my cheeks.

There are times when I feel like I am coming undone.

When I am crumbling inside.

My tears keep flowing.

In the midst of my grief and pain.

I don't know when it is going to end.

I don't know which way is up or down.

I don't know when I am going to reach the bottom.

The grief and pain overwhelm me.

Out of that grief and pain comes beauty.

Through the collection of my tears, I have found treasures that I will hold onto for a long time to come.
