A Dialogue with Motivation (An Older Poem I Wrote)

I am the storm that rages inside.

I am the fight swelling with intensity.

Perseverance calls and I answer.

Hardship demands and I provide.

I am motivation.

Heed my words and actions.

We will not fail.

We will not quit.

We will not be broken.

Fear will arrive,

Though it will not hold us.

Listen!

For I speak hope.

See!

For I show you triumph.

A better way has arrived.

Strength is being given.

Press on!

We will win!

I am motivation.

Glory is about to be known.

Note About The Piece: I struggled with weather to share this poem thinking it may have been a bit too bold (and maybe even blasphemous when considering the end line; cause glory belongs to Jesus), but I decided to post it to encourage someone; for glory can still be known BOTH through a person's life that overcomes something AND to Jesus as He gets the glory for creating us. May someone be encouraged by this today. :)

Roles We Play

          A place and a time, a story and those involved, and we are stepping into roles we play. From the waking of days to the evening goodbyes there's a calling that invites. Here we meet goals, fulfill responsibilities and roles, roles we play. Here we take time, to pretend and imagine, and we become something better. Men and women, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, all living out the roles we play.            At work or at play, we all make a way, to fulfill to our best the roles in new ways. At different times, in different amounts we all carry on, looking at how to best live our lives, and the roles we play in them. Always looking at how to be our best at our "craft" whatever that is, and however that looks. Parent or spouse, (perhaps even both), these are the roles we play in life; and we can always change them, for better when not done well, this is the grace given us all, something I'm looking at again as I enter th...

Making It Easier

        In an attempt to clean the blog up, add value, and make navigating it easier, I put several older posts together (below). Below is a mix of several different types of writing I've done, both new and old. Thanks for being here.         The Old Place On The Hill (Older Non-Fiction)        Sitting as one speaking stories of long ago, there remains the old place on the hill. The large old house of red brick stands steady yet worn, tired, though not enough to speak of it's long years long forgotten now. It speaks and none seem to listen....almost none. Years of lives lived there and it remains quiet, simply is, and this is it's final story.         Representing it's small "community" of dwellings, it stands to listen as they speak. I pass by and listen if they'll speak, though they never do. Only memories of old echo from their worn and tired frames, some old narrow trailer and a carport that seems to wan...

When I Feel Invisible

         When I feel invisible, I slip into it, walk through life and humanity undetected; sometimes. I revel in the lack of pressure to measure up, to be something instead of someone.            When I feel invisible, I embrace the grace, create in the quiet that is granted, and look again. Look again at what I value, what I believe, where I find my worth and identity. In the hidden there is room to grow and my soul rejoices.             When I feel invisible, forgotten, I reflect back again, speak back to myself, and remind me I'm not, I just feel that way sometimes.
