Three In One (Part Four) (An Essay, A Poem, A Fiction Story I Wrote in one post)

   It's been my hope ever since I started writing to not only express myself, but to make a greater impact through this God-given ability of writing (and maybe one day even earning a residual income through it; but I dream...and pray). May these works bless someone today; and thank you for your support! 


It'll Take (Non-Fiction)


       It'll take effort, but don't be afraid to take that effort. It'll take time, but it will be worth it in the end. It'll take discernment, honing how to recognize the way through and acting on the insight given. It'll take grace when it doesn't work out the first time (anything worth doing ever does). It'll take prayer, remembering to seek Jesus in (and through) the whole process; for this is the way to truly succeed in something GOOD. 


Keep going, it'll take perseverance as well; you can do this!



Again (A Poetic Experiment)


    This piece is simply me reflecting on learning a new way to write: with words all of the same first letter.


Again another angle,

Again another ability,

Again alighting arrows always;

Always arranging another avenue. 



Confident (An Older Fiction Story I Wrote)

        

        He didn't feel very confident in his abilities, still he knew he had to try, so he did. First water began spewing everywhere. Then he'd find himself forgetting the procedures to fix the problem, even failing to remember what each piece was called!

      

        It was a journey he knew he had to take. It was one that would pay off in the end, so he did. Months later he was still struggling to master his plumbing craft. Now, his training was truly being put to the test, as was his confidence.

      

       After several tries, he managed to fix it. It began working properly with no leaks and no clogging. The single mom thanked him over and over, grateful for this no-charge service that she couldn't have afforded on her own but needed. After some of the worst jobs (and results) done over those few months, he finally began to feel more confident; even if he was awfully wet.

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.
