Inside

I used to think I was dead inside But I know I have a fire inside Fueled by an endless supply inside Of dreams and hopes and desires inside Things that come alive inside Awake all my senses inside Keeping me aware, not hiding inside Not dimming my flame or life inside Shining through, smiling … Continue reading Inside

Knowing

“And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.” Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭34‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Anyone can quote scripture. The devil knows the Bible better than most…this is what I find amazing. How many people saw the Son of God and … Continue reading Knowing

Mastermind

Watch me as I orchestrate,A universe of strife and hate. I pull the strings and let them go.Move the pieces along just so,Bending them against their willPushing them further still.I’m subtle in my determination;No inkling my goal is devastation.My puppets are bound by stringsThat to the eye remain unseen.They are completely unaware-They are trapped in my … Continue reading Mastermind

Happier

I’ve had some health scares lately… I’ve been advised that I need to go on a particular medicine, one that many people take. But, I don’t want to do it.  Three different specialists have suggested this medication, none consulting the other… Instead of outright agreeing, I have been watching my numbers, and praying… The three … Continue reading Happier

Selfish

I want to be selfish.I want to say what I think and feel.I want to put it all out there and get it off my chest.Damnit, I want to yell.But you know what? I can’t.I can’t say what I think and feel.I can’t get it off my chest. I can’t put it all out there and let … Continue reading Selfish

Face It

It’s hard to face our fears.  It’s hard to stand up when we’re under scrutiny.  But sometimes, you just need to face it.  When Saul was on the road to Damascus, he saw a bright light. I’m sure he tried to turn away from it, but he was blinded. The men with him heard a … Continue reading Face It

Fear

Hello? I’m scaredCan you hear me?Is anyone there? I’ve faced my demonsI’ve looked at deathBut this thing I faceTakes my breath.It’s nameless,I can’t put into wordsFeelings of fear,Shame and hurt. It’s taken reason,Logic, and so much more I’m a shell of the girlI was before. I’m frozen with fear,Paralyzed without,Thoughts can formBut not come out. I can’t moveOr speak,I’ve lost all,I … Continue reading Fear

Guilty of All

“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” ‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬ What a fearful thought!  This is the reason I do not like confrontation: I am guilty of part, therefore I am guilty of all.  Do you ever stop and think about what you might … Continue reading Guilty of All

Sure

“Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.” 2 Corinthians 3:5 (KJV) When we lay aside the things we think and focus on the things that the Lord says, we can find comfort. Our thoughts are often vain imaginations. We give ourselves far … Continue reading Sure
