Miles

        It always seems to be the beginning of a thing that gets us. Sometimes we're excited, others we aren't; excited for the miles ahead of us most know as a day. We gather our resources, our plans, our motivations up and we set off. 

        The road can be a wild array of possibilities when traveling it and this is often where we find ourselves tested. In the roads we travel called days they can be smooth. Everything goes well, there is a near flawless commute and there is even joy. Other times the miles taken are bumpy. There may be potholes. We may even encounter flat tires or some sort of engine trouble. These are the challenges we all know in our difficult days, our tough miles travelled in living; ones where we sometimes even get lost along the way and need new directions for daily life and the living of it. 

          Miles of living are a funny thing sometimes; one minute all is well, and the next you just wanna pull over to the side of the road and stop for a while when the way has been too much. Whatever the miles you've known today have been, my hope is that you never stop wanting to "drive" again in those twenty four hour times called days and living, remembering if you're lost or "stalled" along the miles, you can always find help in Jesus when you ask (Matthew 7:7-8).

What Isolation Sees (An Older Poem I Wrote)

Once thought alone, this is no longer, this faulty thought process, for eyes look upon me in a pensive mindset. Not the Infinite but the internal are found here though, myself shrouded in dark invisibility, face to face with this mysterious entity, one called isolation. He looks on me in silence, a silence that speaks volumes though no word is uttered. Examination of self is impressed upon me, for such is his influence on my being. I dare to look again at myself, along with isolation, and here do I look upon it all, good and bad alike. What isolation sees he shows me: faults and found strengths, skills I knew not I possessed, failings I was unaware of, ones buried deep within me, ones hidden well inside. This mysterious one isn’t a curse, and in his presence I find myself again, I begin again to right myself, and here I am being made whole once more. What isolation sees isn’t always bad, nor is what he shows, these blessed ways from the Infinite, ways to make us better, better if we a...

Just Write (How To Create When You're Beginning And Feeling Overwhelmed)

               You’re stuck. You feel empty. Overthinking seeks to imprison you; you can’t be shackled though, unless you don’t try. Just write. Don’t worry if it’s perfect, or even how much you will be able to write. Listen as you do, listen as that “inner writer” speaks (for they will) and words will arrive to meet you. First a few words will gather together, one by one, making complete pictures; small actions to a bigger result of greater writing. The little will grow, and so will your confidence. Just write.                  Just a word at a time while remembering to keep writing. Soon paragraphs will be seen. One word will become two and sentences will gather together becoming paragraphs. Just write. You will encounter overwhelming perfection call out loudly on your journey, attempting to stop you….this is where you need to remember you can edit later. Just write. It will be beautiful, the complete...

I Will Stand My Ground

        Light breaks through as clouds of despair are pierced, as hope begins to shine bright again, fierce and unrelenting. Life enters with the wind where change casts it's welcome breezes, and here I breathe in this refreshing shift of resolve.         Small steps are taken toward the dawning of renewal, a faith restored again as a good to be is reassured and seen in parts with each movement to healing; healing to grace for the broken, direction for the lost...for us all.
