Words are powerful
I started this blog because I have a journal full of poetry and I want to share them with others.
I will only be posting poems I have written. They will be about my life which involves God. Some of the poems will be about love and my life experiences. Other poems will be about the people in my life and the things in my heart.
I hope you feel something from reading my poems, something like joy and love… or that it may bring back memories of similar situations in your life.
I hope you enjoy!
I thought I was stuck.
Frozen in time.
I thought I couldn’t let go of the past.
Feared God wasn’t working in my life.
I thought.
But that’s not the truth.
I’m being pulled back,
like a slingshot.
I’m being held back.
To be launched forward.
It may feel like God isn’t moving.
But he’s getting ready to release me.
In some seasons, I have no words.
Some seasons I need to live before I can write.
Some seasons are short.
Some seasons are long.
Some are hard.
Others are easy.
One might be in God,
Full of God.
The next might lack God.
But no matter the season, I will return to writing.
This is a gift God has given me.
I will use it, grow it, and multiply it.
I don’t wish to be great.
And I don’t wish to be known.
What I wish is to speak to those who need to hear me.
Inspire those who need it.
I write because I love it.
I dream because it makes my heart jump.
I want God to use me,
To inspire, to reach, and to lift.
I want God to be great.
For God to be known
I am just a chess piece in God’s plan.
Sometimes
You must be alone in a cute cafe.
Sometimes you must reflect on life.
You can no longer silence your thoughts.
Some things are so uncertain, like tomorrow.
Will we make it?
Will I make it?
I must confront my circumstances.
Fear will not win.
It may win a battle or two.
But it will not win the war.
Tomorrow, fear will be powerless.
Love will win the war.
Fear will tremble before me and my mighty God.
Fear will leave without warning.
It will not win.
Not tomorrow,
Not the day after that,
Never!
Fear, your track stops here!
Hello, welcome back!
I’ve missed you.
Where have you been?
For so long I talked to a stranger.
The stranger kind of looked like you.
But it was scary, sad, and broken.
So I knew it wasn’t the real you.
I’m glad the stranger is gone.
I hope you don’t leave again.
Thank you, to whoever brought you back.
If any two words could describe,
Everything you’ve done for me.
The time you have given me.
The embrace at the right moment.
Your words of strength.
There are two words to describe
My love towards you.
My gratitude towards you.
These two words are…
Thank You!
That is all.
But that is everything.
Thank you!
Why can’t I find the words?
The words so you’ll understand.
But I don’t fully understand.
All I can say is I’m not okay.
I don’t know the words but I’ll try…
I’m not okay, I haven’t been in a long time.
Once the voices in my mind wouldn’t silence.
Now it’s silent.
But I’m still not okay.
I have no joy.
No laughter.
I’m not who I was.
But I have to act like I am.
Help me, hear me, save me from me.
Here in the unknown
I can’t see what’s ahead.
The light seems to be behind me.
But the Lord is also behind me.
He is ahead of me.
Here in this unknown,
He is known.
There is one thing I am sure of,
God is with me.
He loves me.
He protects me.
I am not alone in this unknown.
I will follow him forward.
Until I find the light again.
I thought nothing would
Dim my joy.
But I was wrong.
I haven’t seen my joy in weeks.
Everything puts its light out.
I know where my joy is,
But right now there’s too much,
Darkness surrounding it.
At this moment I need joy.
I need joy from God.
Everything is dark.
But soon my joy will,
Overpower the darkness.
It won’t stand a chance.
Joy will overcome!
