Peace that comes around this time as everything calms down this morning.

Oh how I wish this peace could cover me and protect me from the ups and downs that may come today.

To witness

This city in the morning after a storm is breathtaking.

It reminds me why I came here in the first place. So much I wanted to see but not all on the list have been seen just yet.

I know these last couple of days have brought on so much that I’m not the only one growing and reaching out.

Hoping things will continue to improve and expand.

So let’s all have a little more faith that things will look up if we just do a little more work.

And maybe one day our city will be the way we want it to be!

To stop

Expecting the unexpected things into your life as if it is what you want or desire?

How can one get help if one keeps expecting someone else to come along and do the work you know is expected of you.

Stop saying yes when you have the feeling you should have said no in the first place.

It’s time to accept you have to do the work with the time you have and to stop overdoing it over time.

Your pushing too hard for something that might be yours later on for the hope of all the answers to be delivered to you now.

It may be your time to shine, but you will never know if you will if you stay in the shadows for too long. For it’s time to step out where others can see you and shine as bright as you can and hope that at least one person notices you.

At that, my friend will just be the beginning of it all.

Week 279 of Three Line Tales

The world more than black and white would be nice to see all the colors together and embracing for once.

For each color to have it say and for it to be written for all to see and for the hate to be no more.

For all we will see would be strength and love and peace with no worries that things will go back tomorrow. For this new way is here to stay for good.

You give me

grace and the space to step out of the noise and into the light

You give me clarity when I am stuck and in a corner of doubt, and the ability to get out is not something I can do alone.

So there you are, always helping me out and pushing me back in the right direction.

So when the right words just aren’t coming out, I want to say I pause and call to you every time.

But I don’t, but when it’s piled up so high I can’t see the mess beyond, I call to you and then the words come to me.

I know I should call out before things get bad and sometimes I do, but I am only human and sometimes I forget to do what’s best for me first.

Just know you ‘re always on my mind and I feel I’m getting better at reaching out to you for the pieces of me that are good is because of you Lord.
