He Is The Light

He Is The Light
Feeling as exciting
As being with
My soul
My heart
My eyes take
In the beauty
God hath
Gifted me
I thank him
For only he
Could make
The sun shine
When I am
Standing alone
In the middle
Of storms
Only he knows
My thoughts
My fears
My struggles
So to let me
Know he is
By my side
He gifted me
The color
Of the reds
The smells of
The earth
After new rains
He is the light
That I will
Use to continue
My walk today.

His Love Is Here to Stay
The night before you rose
The earth is silent now
Mourning the loss of you
Is only what we can do
You tried your very best
To teach and show us all
What is right and wrong
You didn’t want us to fall
Some of us listened
And others ran as well
Some cursed your name
And left you for an empty shell
But you let these things happen
You trusted your Father you said
You knew that your love for us
Was strong and in Satan‘s way
We get up in the morning
Our hearts still breaking in two
Coming to see you one more time
But you are not here what should we do
We tell all those around us
That the stone has been rolled a way
The glorious Father above us
Has risen you for this day
We fall on bended knee
And cry out to you above
We praise your name oh Father
Now you love us from above

Defeating the Devil’s Strategies
All of us make tracks through the valley of failure. Then the key question is, What we will do next? Sadly, many believers who stumble give up a vibrant kingdom-serving life for a defeated existence. But failure can also be a chance for a new beginning of living in Christ’s strength.
In pride, Peter thought his faith was the strongest of all the disciples’ and swore that even if the others left Jesus, he never would (Mark 14:29). Yet when the time of testing came, he denied even knowing Christ–and did so three times (Matt. 26:69-75). Satan hoped the disciple would be so wounded by his own disloyalty that his faith would be undermined by shame, condemnation, and despair.
Likewise, when the Enemy sifts believers today, his goal is for us to become shelved and ineffective for God’s kingdom. That’s why he goes after our strengths, especially the areas in which we proudly consider ourselves invincible. But if we’re willing, the Lord can use our failures to do spiritual housecleaning, as He did in Peter’s life. After the resurrection, Jesus met with the disciple personally and restored him, preparing him to become a great leader in the early church. He made it clear that Peter’s potential to serve was defined, not by failure, but by his unwavering love for Christ.
Peter laid down his pride, received the healing Jesus offered, and put on courage with the Holy Spirit’s help. He then risked his life fearlessly to further the gospel, and many came to Christ through his example. Failure was the catalyst that grew in him a stronger, more authentic faith.
I Believe
I know that I have Jesus living with me, and I also know that I don’t understand many things about life. I realize I am a simple-minded person, but I believe, and to me, this is what matters most. I don’t understand the whole idea of why others and my brother suffer, I don’t understand the reasons behind it, but I believe.
Here are some photos to help someone questioning if God is here among us. I hope you enjoy.
He Walked Beside Me
I wrote this poem for a local contest here in town, and received a letter today telling me it was now in the semi finals. I thought I would share it with you.
Shadows bouncing from the trees
Smell of earth under my feet
Darkness stands all around
I am not alone, for I am with thee.
I am forgiven, I am l loved
I live each day with his holy grace
When I sin, I look towards him
I ask forgiveness from above
He has a plan perfect for me
He wants me to complete
If I fall, he picks me up
And lights the path for me to see.
He came to me one peaceful night
And whispered in my ear
He told me, child you have done good
Now come with me into the light.
Had He Been Near By?
She woke up. She looked from side to side. She was out in the country on a lonely road, all alone. He wasn’t there. She got out and looked on the grass, no where in sight. She got back in her seat and pushed the red cross button on her on star, but no one said anything. She pushed it again, nothing. Over and over she kept pushing all the buttons, and all she heard was total silence. Stranded and alone. Think. Think. She had to do something. Her brother was gone, and she didn’t even know what had happened. She glanced down at herself and didn’t see anything unusual on her. She tried starting the car, but it would not start. She got out of the car again and lifted the hood. She didn’t know what she was looking for and didn’t know if anything looked different. There were no damages to the car that she could see, but she did have an awful headache coming on. She walked back to the car and got inside. She leaned her head against the steering wheel, and began to cry and pray at the same time. My Lord, you know everything that has happened here,and I know you are watching over me right now. I need your help Lord. Show me where my brother is. He has vanished. Lord, show me where he is. Guide me Lord for I don’t even know why I am sitting here myself. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want, Jesus Loves me this I know, she continue to pray and sing, and soon she drifted into a deep sleep. When she awoke the next time, she was safe in her bed. She got up and went straight to her brother’s room. He was there, sound asleep, and snoring away. She walked back to her room, and sat on the edge of her bed. She looked up at the ceiling and words were beginning to pour out of her mouth. Thank you Lord, thank you Lord, for,bringing him back to me. Thank you for watching over me. I love you Jesus. Everything was peaceful and she laid back down, realizing that she must have had a bad dream. Or was it……….
