"Be Faithful."

I haven't posted in ages, and I am deeply sorry to my readers. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement and thank you for still checking in on here to see any updates. Busyness has overtaken me a little bit with a new semester of school, a few new jobs, and some big changes in my life. I will try to update as much as I can and as much as the Spirit speaks. 

Today though has been rough, and it seems that when these "roller-coaster ride kind of days" hit me, words just appear in my mind and I jot them down or type them up. It's not my best, it was a quick throw together, but I feel it has a message that could speak to more than just me right now. I wrote a short poem tonight. 

---------------

“Whatever you’re doing inside of me…”
The chorus rings through my mind,
I don’t understand the chaos within.
Its days when the earth feels motionless
Or maybe I’m just blind.

I don’t understand and it’s not that you owe me
I just wish I could visualize what lies ahead
To see what I feel
To feel what I see.
Please. Anything.

But silence instead.
“But I’m giving into something heavenly.”
A reminder constantly my purpose is higher.
My calling so true.
How could I doubt Him? I grow weary and tire.
Because it’s the way things go.
We hold so strongly to the blessings He provides
I tend to forget the blessings themselves will fade so low.

You give and take away,

you train and mold.

You prepare us.

Anoint us.

Carve us.

You care.

As a Father has compassion on his children, so you have compassion on those who fear you.

Our lives are shaped and held by you.

All we need is you,
Your promise will stand true
The world fades but you stand.
For who do we have in Heaven but you, O Lord.

You call, your voice brings peace,
a command, an exhortation,
It’s not much, but it brings release.
You speak, you reach down and whisper

in the midst of my struggle, my storm... 

Just two words:

“Be Faithful.”
