Strength

what is strength?

is it being rock solid?

is it being in top of the world?

is it being in control?

life has taught me that this is not the case

strength is being weak and going on anyway

strength is being humble enough to cry on the shoulder of a loved friend

strength is knowing what lays ahead will be difficult

and doing it anyway

strength is seeing that life is not easy

but living despite your fears

strength is seeing that not everything will be easy

but going forward all the same

its not about being big bad and ugly

its about being humble enough to ask for help

about knowing you are not alone

knowing that you can ask and receive

life has shown me much in the past few years

a lot of things i wish i could un-see

many more things i am glad i did see

trials and tests that have stretched me

hard times that forced me to grow

this is one of those times

but i know that in the end

my faith and my God are here for me

my incredible friends

my allies and my enemies

there are many people in my life to thank

for they have shown me much

most importantly there are many people

that deserve a well done

for they have faced trials and walked away

with new knowledge

my only prayer is that when God is done with me

i will be one of those people

As You Are

 

broken, hurting, searching

that's how he calls us

here and now

its not about being perfect

let the walls come tumbling down

open yourself to his power love mercy and grace

let yourself be wrecked from the inside out

let our God set you free

let him make you who he wants you to be

one step is all it takes

humble yourself

give it all to him

that's all it takes

sounds to good to be true i know

but that's how it goes

day by day, minute by minute

he will carry you through the hard times

worries fears problems and pains

he takes it all gladly

so that you can be his

he fights your battles

he is your all in all

come and be with him

through the good moments he walks beside you

with joy peace and love

be ready when you make that step

come to him

just as you are

 



devotion

how do you start your morning?is it the same old morning routine, day in and day out,ABC and 123, just a force of habit?not me,nope i cant do that. that would drive me nuts.for me its something different every day. now you're probably wonder how i do start my morning.simple,one word,DEVOTION!i start my morning with devotion.sure i hit the same website every morning

http://www.d365.org/back2school/ but i start every  morning with a new and very different devotion.

i start with worship. i start with quality time with my God. now some may say duh! its a routine but

not me. every morning i learn something new. i grow just a tiny bit more. i get a bit of something bigger than me, brain food but for the spirit.there is no better way,no other way.i challenge you to do it too.start your mornings in his word.i guarantee you will view the world differently. you wont even do it on purpose but i bet you will find yourself doing things a bit differently throughout your day. i bet if you start your day with even ten minutes time just worshiping and reading the word you will see changes in and around yourself. little by little you will see things brighten up, things will look, seem, act, and appear different. don't believe me? try it and try to prove me wrong. i can tell you now I'm right but you can try to prove me wrong... go ahead i dare you!
