and Purposeful Prose
Image by Dariusz Sankowski from Pixabay Here I sit again Not wanting to join in Scrolling through posts Words from good hosts Intentions of comfort, peace and encouragement But I'm too weary to read Ignoring their good deeds Convinced their words won't bring me peace Fraught with disbelief Could anything life-giving happen to me? Awash [...]
Image by LEEROY Agency from Pixabay Photographs won't tell the whole story Behind smiles can lay trials Hidden crimes Served time And broken dreams. Photographs won't show you the heartache Sharp focus is hocus pocus Where truth lies Behind twinkling eyes And well pressed seams. However, photographs never tell us the ending They don't predict [...]
(Photo credit goes to Pixabay.com user chulmin1700.) My heart wants to see you in heaven Perhaps you think me a fool Yet, I pray we'll meet in paradise May your heart be a well where He reigns and rules. Is it silly I care? My priorities must change Mine and my King's must became one [...]
(Photo credit goes to Pixabay.com user Pexels.) Tempted By false advertisements Fleeing Our course of defense Embracing I'm lost here without you Accepting That Your way is best. Resisting A world of distractions Rejoicing In all that is right Remembering The gift that was given Learning To persevere through the night. Surrender Is still the [...]
Clearly I'm not on the ball with blogging. Scheduling isn't working well and I'm struggling to read and comment on posts. Today's planned post will be delivered, apparently, at 7:30PM (Pacific Time) instead of 7:30AM. You'll be getting two posts today. That settles it. I need a full stop from blogging. I guess I'll get [...]

I won't chase mirages My soul's too thirsty for the truth Set my heart to flame Till I'm wholly consumed And if the earth should shake I'll be standing through and through I won't settle for tarnished trinkets I've found my treasure trove in You. Tina April 29, [...]

(Photo Credit goes to Yoal Desurmont.) I want to follow in Your footsteps, Lord I want my arms spread open wide I want to love with grace and mercy And leave behind my foolish pride. You took the thorns and scorned the shame You lead Your co-heirs to live this way To love the wretched, [...]
This isn't an ordinary F(L)ight songs. However, how God met me--when I needed Him to meet me--wasn't ordinary either. Sometimes Jesus chooses to meet us halfway. It's wonderful that He plans ahead of time exactly what we'll need. I can forget, too easily, that He goes before us and He lovingly hems us in. "Lord, [...]
