Americans be warned of the Lord Almighty

without comments

Americans be warned of the Lord Almighty
He fumes with furry over your boasting and pride.
Never has He poured out blessings
           as He has upon you and your fathers
Yet you continue to squander your gifts for worldly gain
Your backs have turned from your Creator
           Who is perfect in His righteousness
This land was to be the beacon of Light to His world
Instead that light was kept in selfishness
           Not shared with those we were told

Leaving You

without comments

it’s been so long neglected friend
since my hand held you
moving into your seductive curves
that won’t soon be forgotten
etched silhouettes upon my mind
wondering why we left this
leaving un-lived moments prematurely
there was promise with you
now fading from eternity
don’t believe you weren’t loved
you were, you are
I’ve been busy but that isn’t it
time can be made
I would’ve made time
flowers find time to bloom
opening themselves to the world
reveling fragrance and symmetry
inspiring generations to hold them
noticing their everything
my jealousy stems from this, my inability
remembering why we left this
unable to group words into fragrance
stanzas lacking symmetry
no on admires these words
not doing justice to her
so I left you, praying to bloom
at least for her, at least once.

Some Introspection…

with one comment

I just want to curl up and be gone for a while, to where is of no difference but to let time stop for just a while would be heavenly. In my life there can’t be a moment when I have felt so out of it, yet been so in all at the same time. I’m doing this, the Lord called me to go to France and I chose to obey him. It’s so unreal to me, and yet I find myself in the midst of scripture (Galations 3:3 “Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?”).

The Three Faiths (#3: Faith in Others Faith)

with one comment

Topic 3/3 (read the first and second)

The final of my entries on this topic involves others. I am not the Body of Christ, you aren’t, you and your four friends aren’t, we all are the body of Christ. This is so unique to Christianity, that we are dependant upon one another in such a unique way. Of all the things that have pained me the most (I’m in the process of raising a support network to go over seas for the next year) through this process is talking to people not embracing their roll in the body of Christ, and ignoring their responsibilities to their First love. This trust, is above and beyond the hardest for me to even desire to have. But in my longing to be a vassal for Christ it’s been reveled as an attribute of Christ that I must let Him work in and through me.

The Three Faiths (#2: Embracing your Creation)

without comments

Topic 2/3 (read the first)

How weird a topic, faith in yourself. Yes I am serious, and yes this is something that is not mentioned or often talked about. It’s over looked and thus, I believe, has caused a handful of problems within the church and the body of Christ has a whole. First lets look at some scripture to show that this is truly an authentic and genuine concern of Christ for our well being. Read the rest of this entry »

The Three Faiths (#1: You are Everything God)

without comments

When you hear Christians talk of their faith this is what they most commonly mean, actually it may be the only type of faith that had ever crossed their mind until recently. It means to believe in God, to have placed your trust in him, to have faith in the Father, Holy Spirit, and Christ… Of all three of these entries this is the one I’m having the hardest time to give insight to and actually waited till the end to write it (but you still have to wait for the next two).
