"I always find it funny how quickly the saved forget who they were when Jesus saved them, or even the way He continues to save them daily because we're human. We slip. We fall. We all come short but isn't that why we need a Savior? We are not our mistakes, we are what we learn from them. No sin is more egregious than any other in the eyes of God. 

It is unkind to cast stones.

They can be so heavy. Love is much Lighter and easier to carry." - Brianna Colleen Carey ©

The Search

Trying to dissect this information
Cutting the disinformation away
to display the knowledge I require
The wisdom I desire
is underneath all the mess
way beneath all the rest
of the excess useless things I've obtained over the years
It's time to clear away the cobwebs in my mind
that were weaved over time
Find the Me before time
The Me designed for a purpose
I know I'm not worthless
but my worth is covered in rust
My gifts smothered in dust
I want out of these desert sands
and into the Hands of The Father
Why bother with the map
when you can contact The Compass
The One that encompasses the Heavens and Earth
The One who raised man from dirt
That's Who I'm trying to reach
Who Ive been trying to seek since birth
And the search, its never over....

Hidden Scars

Death, by that of a broken heart 

comes silently in the dark of the night 

Teardrops fall at her bedside

But the cries go unnoticed....  

Sunrise Song

The moment the Sun hits the sky
The birds arise
and begin to dance and sing
their beautiful melody to the Most High King
Tis my favorite song.

He Came with Water

I'm peeling back these layers of sin
I've accumulated on my skin
Escaping this flesh
to reconnect to the soul within
Longing for freedom
It's the reason why I need Him
You don't know?
He's the reason for my reason
The reason why I'm breathing this very day
That last mistake, it nearly killed me
In a way, it actually reeled me back to life
That disguise had taken its toll
I grew tired of digging that hole to live in
I was so far gone
that I would've given my soul
If it weren't for the One who called me Home
I had become someone
I didn't even recognize
I started believing my own lies
Trying to rationalize my actions
In denial, I was lacking
Spiritually, mentally, physically...
I was absent
I'm not even sure I can recall just when it happened
All I know is I'm glad it's finally over
Todah to Melekh Jehovah
Thanks to my God, the King of Kings
Working behind the scenes
Caring for me
in my darkest days
In my desert haze He came
and gave me Water
to quench my thirst
A rebirth of His prodigal daughter
I return to my roots
Anew.
Praise I give to You.
Selah.

This Girl I Know....

There's this girl I know. She's so strong. She has the most beautiful smile. She's always going out of her way to please others, to make everyone happy. She smiles all the time which in turn makes others smile. She laughs at life's silly misfortunes. Makes lights of the darkest topics. She's the first one to come to someone's aide when they are hurting, she's right there with a tissue or a hug to ease their pain. People often take advantage of her kindness, and use her only when she's useful to them. If only they knew this very same girl cries every single night before bed and that beautiful smile she wears everyday masks the deepest sadness. She desperately prays someone could see her pain and rescue her, but her prayers seem to go unanswered. She prays for Peace that doesn't seem to come. She clings to the tiny hope that one day, she will smile without having to try so hard.
This girl I know her very well.....

Untitled

I stare at this blank page
and await the words to fill the space
between the lines
Searching for the meaning behind my trials
But this pen is often idle
when it comes to reason
And so a season of needing lingers
A longing to render my harvest before it succumbs to the harshness
of Winter
I have entered this place of The Unknown
Although, not on my own
I still find it hard to handle
seeing the candle
flicker in the distance
Yet being so distant
and not knowing the road to travel to keep it lit
Will it's wick diminish
before I can finish my quest?
It's a test of Faith I suppose
Only God knows
my intended destination
I take it Patience is my answer.

Today

"I get lost in my daydreams of my future, where I see myself, what Im doing, how successful I've become or how happy I want to be. All of which only make my current situation appear bleak and meaningless. Dreaming is fine but I need to stop living in my dream and live in today, this very moment. Tomorrow isnt here yet. I dont know why I always get ahead of myself, but I desperately want to focus on being present in the present moment. What can I do today? What do I have to be grateful for today that will let God know I will be grateful for more in the future. Do I even recognize and give thanks for my blessings today?  I truly need to work on this." - Brianna Colleen Carey © 

"Just like our gifts & talents that are unseen by the world, it does not diminish, devalue or make less important those gifts & talents. They still hold a purpose. They still matter. Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it will never happen." - Brianna Colleen Carey ©

"Look for the Good.
Hope for the Best.
Do your part.
