Re

Take from me all that is unclean
Restore. Rewire. Redeem.
Reignite this dream in me
Replace the desire to be
what the world expects
With the desire to please
the One whom protects my soul
Renew and make whole
the broken pieces scattered
Repair the wounds of this tattered heart
Reconnect the parts of Your divine plan
of which I have lost sight
Reunite from where I stand
these hands so idle
They long to do right by You
If only they knew how
Reveal to me
Your majesty once again
Release me from my burdens
Amen

Yours

As I sit here in His peace
I let these words flow free from me
Like that of leaves on a tree in the Fall
I awake to His call once more
I absorb the salt and light so pure that is He
Heavenly, I am Yours.

Keep it Open

We are all our own individual original beings with our own attributes, characteristics and style. If God intended for us to be boring and all the same, He would've made us that way. There are unique reasons why we are drawn to the things we like. They all tie into our intended purpose. So don't look down on another person because his or her views do not match up with yours. There is a lot of good to be had in an open mind and an open heart. There is a lot of beauty in the world that you could be missing with your eyes closed. 

True Forgiveness Is

I've learned forgiving someone doesn't mean that once forgiven, you must still allow them to be a part of your life. If they are toxic to your soul, keeping your distance is the best thing. Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting. Forgetting how they treated you so badly; it's releasing the resentment you held toward them for doing so, and moving forward, with or more often without them.

Im moving forward.

It's Time To Change

We live in a time where there are more Idols than Inspirations. More separation than unity. More love of Money than love of Love. More arrogance and self-absorbance than humility and awareness. The compassion for others seems to be withering away if not already vanished. Everywhere I look these days I am reminded of greed and how it seems to have consumed the hearts of mankind. The proof of this, there isn't even a middle class anymore. There is poverty and rich. Minimum wage is a joke. Your bills and cost of living is higher than what they pay you. So you barely scrape by, paycheck to paycheck, being out on the street is literally determined by whether you lose that employment. Your chances of starting a savings account are pretty much null and void. Then there are the homeless. They are what honestly break my heart the most. As I sit back and see people spend money to buy cd after cd of rappers/singers with enough 'money' around their necks and on their wrists to pay for the rent and buy an entire new wardrobe for a homeless man or woman for a five year period to help him/her get back on his/her feet. It's sickening to see such depravity. It needs to change. I am honestly praying that mankind will evolve spiritually and reverse their current moral foundations, that they would stand upon integrity, love, compassion, and selflessness; rather than oblivion, hate, arrogance, and greed. It's so hard for me some days to smile. To have hope in a world filled with despair but I will continue to try, to not give up because there ARE some who care and if there are some who care then they are teaching their children to care and they will then teach their children to care until we are back to a place of unity where we once coexisted peacefully, cared for our people, our earth, our animals. I have to believe that. That belief is the only thing that makes me want to keep trying to live in this world, trying to make a difference. My personal impact seems so small to me, but Im praying my efforts will be like a small rock when it hits the water, it makes only a 'tiny splash' but the ripple goes on for miles. I may not be able to change the world, but I can change the world of one person, and that's a start.
