If all of the ......God's beauty is everywhere

I decided to have a bit of fun. When I think of God's creation and how much He loves everyone, I am filled with joy. I wanted to get in touch with my inner child and use my imagination to illustrate a way we can enjoy God's love for us. It follows the song "If all of the raindrops...." Enjoy and remember God Loves the World.

If all of the raindrops
were drops of Heaven's dew  
What a rain it would be
I'd stand outside 
with my face to the sky so blue
If all of the raindrops
were drops of Heaven's dew 
I'd be soaked

If all of the snowflakes were 
The Mighty Eagle's feathers
what a snowfall it would be
I'd stand outside with my arms open wide
to catch all that I could see
If all of the snowflakes were
The Mighty Eagle's feathers
I'd have one warm blanket

If all of the sunbeams
were God's love for us
what a sunny day that would be
I'd stand outside naked and free
so the beams would tan all of me
If all of the sunbeams 
were God's love for us
I'd truly be sunburnt

If all of the winds
held God's kisses
I'd stand on a mountain top
to catch each one and 
be sure He never misses
If all of the winds 
were God's kisses 
I'd want to be blown away!

When Dreams speak ...


One night I had a dream that was so real. I can still feel the touches and breaths. It feels like I was really there in the moment. I have tried to capture that here.

He Spoke in My Dream

Warm, late summer breeze
feeling not at ease
Out to the meadow I did go
where I was going I did not know
My heart burned with desire
My soul thirsty and dry
Just kept walking and gazing
toward the sky
There's something out here
Oh my Yahweh, I cry
 Wish You'd come down from the sky 
to talk this out with me
Out from the shadow a figure I did see
dressed in white top, blue jeans 
red running shoes 
His sparkling blue eyes caught my gaze
as I shook myself out of a daze
he reached out his hands, my heart jumped
No words spoke just smiles
we began to stroll for miles
down the hills we would roll
as we laughed and talked
serious then silly, like life long friends
then on to the ground
we fell with a bound
head to head we lay
in the heat of the day
his breath I could feel
his touch so real
it seemed like time stood still
the clouds they rolled with the wind
as we lay gazing at the sky
we named each one as they passed us by
After what seemed eternity
we rose to our feet and this is what he said to me:
"Trust in Me, Lean not on your own 
understanding, I am with you always"
then with a hug and kiss on the cheek
the light of day into my eyes did peek.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in The Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding
Mathew 28:20 And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age

Full of despair? Try this?

I am trying to work on some new ones, in the meantime, I thought I'd repost this as a reminder to many and a wake up to others.
The inspiration for this came from some messages I was getting while reading my daily devotionals and reading plans the one day. The thoughts of being broken and lost then being saved hung on my heart until these words poured out. I know of many people personally who are like the person talked about in the first and seconds stanzas. I pray for them everyday that one day they will be like the person in the final few stanzas. If you know someone today who doesn't already know The Lord, why not have them read this with you or some of my other ones.




Was and Am because of Him

I am broken,
dark and bitter,
guilty and full of shame
fit right into the evil one's game

I am scared
alone and discouraged
hopeless
don't know where to go from this mess

Day in and day out
I have lived without
joy and peace
wanting and needing more.

Then you walked through my door
You told me to follow you 
You told me the enemy lied
following him, I'd have died
You placed in my heart everything I had to do

Under your wing I did go
rescued by your grace
no more would I be broken
no more would there be bitter darkness
Gone would be the guilt or shame
You've helped me beat 
the evil one at his own game

I am forgiven
free and humbled
rescued
washed clean by My Savior's blood

I am purified
saved and loved
 grateful
that I've been chosen from God above





Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves; 
it is the gift of God

Our God, I Trust!

With Easter approaching, The Bible series premiering this evening, I thought it most appropriate to post this poem. It's time to reaffirm your faith and love for Jesus Our Savior.




God of the Earth

He is God of the Earth
The God who gave us hope 
through His son's birth
for his death and rising 
we must keep praising
I trust El Shadai's plan
He has me in his hands 
He is my vessel in the storm
to my heart he will give form

Trust in him I will
to my cup overfill
with blessings from Heaven 
for me to share
with all those who care
join with me in a journey 
to the greatest place
one could ever dream

My God has room for you and me
but a change of heart there must be
lay down your sins at the cross
lift your hands to the sky
your heart may He emboss
in His mercy by His own hand
Be washed in the blood of His Lamb
Let yourself be clothed in His righteousness
and accept His forgiveness
For to live without my Yahweh
I would not even dare.




About Me

My photo
We all have gifts given to us by The Lord God above even before we were a glint in our parents eye. The Lord designed each one of us to have a gift. What we choose to do with the gifts he gives us is what matters. I chose to share my gift with the world. I'm not a professional. I have had no educational training in poetry writing other than basic english that they teach you in school. All my poems are inspired by God's word and the desire to have a better relationship with him. I have also been inspired by life events that God has led me to healing for. I am a mother of 2 boys trying to do my best to please the father and raise my boys to live the same way.
