The Other Side

I feel as though I am living in a bubble.

Dazed and confused.

Not knowing which way is up and which way is down.

I know that God has much more for me, even in the midst of my trial.

I must refocus my eyes on Jesus.

There comes a point where I must say to myself:

"Enough is enough!"

Where the warrior Spirit must be reawakened within me once again, in order to press forward.

The Moonlit Sky

As I lay down to sleep,

I gazed out my my open window.

My drapes fluttering in the gentle breeze.

The moon peaked over the horizon.

This white glowing ball, just barely lit up the backdrop of the night sky.

The light from the moon came streaming through my window.

I was mesmerized by this sight, it was so beautiful.

I looked away for a few moments, as it disappeared behind a cloud.

On it's way to take its rightful place to begin it's journey once again.

Elevated by Your Presence

I am elevated in Your presence.

Your presence quenches my thirst.

Your presence suppresses my hunger.

I feel as though I am upon a cloud, suspended in the air,
not wanting to come down at times.

I want to stay up there forever.

Your presence is everything to me.

It is indescribable.

When chaos is happening around me,

it keeps me grounded.

It brings me peace.

A Deep Groan

A deep groan.

I can't explain.

Yearning.

Longing.

A smoldering flame.

A flickering flame.

A rekindled flame.

A burning flame.

I am tired of being lukewarm.

I desire to spit it right out of my mouth.

I desire to burn red hot.

A raging fire.

A consuming fire.

For everyone to see.

For You and Your glory.

Rising from the Ashes

Thank You for lifting me from the ashes,
As I gaze into your beautiful face. 
Your piercing eyes of Love welcome me.

Thank You for lifting my soul up to the heavens.

Thank You for keeping me safe and holding me close in Your arms.

Thank You for giving me the tools to keep me occupied, although it was very difficult at times.

Thank You for surrounding me with people who cared, especially my mother who held me in her arms until the pain subsided.

This too is for Your honour and glory.

There is a greater purpose behind this, although it is not clear at this very moment.

You shine through me in the darkness.
