When it seems

The darkness will win in a time of hardship.

I always come out here and wait for the light to shine through the clouds.

And I know right then and there that everything will work out.

Maybe not in the way I wanted it to, but the way God wants and knows it should be.

But with free will, it’s hard sometimes to know I’m not the one planning out my life.

And I know now that’s a blessing even when I can’t see or believe it.

So like waiting for the light to shine through my dark days, is knowing hope is always around the corner for you and me.

This week we are “writing away, and having a play, with rhyming words for you today” with Rhyme Time.

Our rhyming words this week are:

  1. save
  2. brave
  3. cave
  4. wave (or waive)
  5. gave
  6. grave

She was saved by God

so that she could be brave

enough to go into that cave

and to wave

to everyone she loved and gave

her supplies to survive so that she wouldn’t end up in a grave

that day.

Do we

– Malina Rose

Always jump at every opportunity that is thrown at us.

Or do we take the time to think about it because at the end of the day we have to live with the decision we have made?

Do we try to just fit in just to get by because we don’t want to be an outsider?

But how long do we wait around pretending to be like everyone else?
