What can

I say as you tear out my light

Today and yet I don’t question it

Because I don’t know what you are up to.

All I can do is pray that when this is over that my light comes back shining more than before.

Oh, how I need my light in a good place and it will get better soon.

I just know it, for God protects my light always and forever.

And the end results will be more than I’ve prayed for, I just know it.

Things have

Change and you

Realize the things that used to bother you

don’t anymore.

At least not in the way they did before.

It’s like they don’t stick to you anymore and so they don’t ruin your mood.

Or your day or week or month.

They just coexist with you

And maybe they get solved and you move on?

Or they just keep floating along forgotten this whole time.

But your story keeps going and the growth in your faith and your lifestyle.

Keeps expanding until doubt and insecurity no longer hold you back.

Your path is clear and your mind and heart

are open to so many more possibilities.

With so much

Going on around me

And well hiding isn’t an option.

For I want to survive

Well being cautious and aware about what is going on around.

And I want to stand up and say something and not just hide behind a screen.

I want to work hard and feel like every step i take isn’t like me tip toeing around because I’m afraid to make the wrong move.

For I know the danger is not just in the streets but inside the buildings.

But to speak ones mind and to believe it will all work out.

Takes an higher power and I know no one can take him from me.

So with him I will survive dead or alive for my presents will not be forgotten about.

But for now I will survive alive and continue everything

And hope he will deliver no matter what the outcome for me will be.

For when he comes and paves the way there will be no human that can stop his victory.

I thought

I had it all together

Only fall float on my back.

Looking up at the sky and asking for help.

But not waiting around long enough to receive it.

So impatient sometimes but right now I give all you as I can’t carry it anymore.

I’m a fool to have tried to do it all on my own.

For it’s you I always run too, and it’s you I will always depend on.

For God I am I am falling with or without you but the fact that with you I will fall into your arms.

Without you, I will fall hard on the ground, and giving up will be so easy to do.

Your light

shines brightly from with in you as you stand there in front of me.

Yes lately things have been overwhelming but your faith and strength has got you through it.

And no matter what has came or been thrown your way.

You allowed yourself a second to feel the frustration and then you prayed on it.

And soon that peace and calmness has washed over you leaving you with no worries.

For light has won the battle again, leaving the darkness scratching his head again.

Know going into the unknown

Would break the dam of feelings I’ve been dealing with.

The feeling of not knowing why or how to find my way out.

But allowing those moments of being lost to guide me to a path I didn’t see myself being worthy of.

But now, I realize this has been what I’ve always wanted and it was years ago that I let this path fade away.

And now it’s time to go back to what truly completes me and defines me for me.

I needed

This moment to appreciate all I have and may get later.

Tired is my body and hungry is my soul.

I crave the words that come from stories and books.

I crave the sound of music and can’t wait to hear the beat.

The words that stay with me forever.

I crave the sleep that I will gain once I lay down in bed.

I appreciate the one that helps me through it all and not just for today.

I know I’m ready to be near him and to know this struggle was worth it for I am worth it.

I can

 Not deny that things are falling apart around me.

But I am full of hope and joy because I know I did right.

They say wish harm on Someone else and it will most likely backfire.

So I let you try to stab me in the back many times only for you to see I am not going down.

I am not getting weaker but stronger and the anger and sadness in you begins to grow.

As the peace in me stands strong and attached to a path that is still unclear but slightly focused on an end goal.

That won’t be flashy but a place that is not just a settling but a true destiny.

To know

That what I want is not in front of me right now.

Doesn’t make things any easier to figure out and what decision is going to make things better.

I pray that I don’t mess this up and that I truly know what is right and wrong for me as the days continue to pass by.

I know that I’m trying to do my best to get it done but right now things aren’t adding up but I’m not giving up just yet.

Hopeful this year

I hope, more will become great moments for me.

And that I will live up to the standards that have been put out before me and those to come.

The feeling that this is not a repeat of anything I’ve ever experienced.

Before and so far and so the shift in my life has begun.

And where it will lead me is so unknown that I just keep walking because it feels right.

I can feel the light growing inside of me and the darkness is growing so small.

As I smile it grows so weak and tries to hide but I won’t lose this battle and it must go.

So I think about everything that makes me happy and whom I love and all I see for miles is the light in me shining so brightly.

And that is how it will be for now as long as I trust you, my lord, I will continue to win.

I feel

 as the cold wraps around me that I’ve been lucky this whole time.

For things could be worse but somehow even the things that should be sucking the life out of me.

It is more of a blessing for it makes me realize even though I am stuck in this storm.

There is a way out and if I just wait it will come to me and there is no point in feeling sorry for myself.

For this is only the beginning and there is always time for a miracle to happen and wipe away the bad of my day or my year.

Trying to

 Find that spark that made me feel so alive that words would just flow from me and all things big and small won’t that bad.

But doubt settles in for the winter and all seem lost again.

But I won’t lose faith as I see the bigger picture after this season that is not that great.

For I hope the next season will be so much better and the warmth will fill me up inside that the coldness outside will barely bother me these days.

Blinded

 by the pain and frustration

That I don’t see the change that is happening around me.

You see I’ve been in the dark with just a flashlight of light and when that window of light shined down on me.

I didn’t notice something had awakened in me.

For it felt no different than the Tuesday before.

But, somehow the energy I was feeling felt so pure and powerful.

It wasn’t until I saw his eyes what I had been trying to see in my owns.

The look was light itself shining back at me with no darkness around and as he stepped cross to me.

I swear I saw an angel in Him and what to come next was nothing short of a miracle.

Is always someone looking out for you because they don’t want you to be stuck like them.

They know how it feels to be stuck in the sand.

To be walking on thin ice.

To be in a situation that doesn’t look like there is a solution to the problem.

Or at least not one you are going to like or willing to do.

They know that you are trying but they want you to speed up the progress so that you can escape to a more affordable place.

Not just cost wise but time and energy and know that this is what you could see yourself doing for the rest of your life.
