The me I was.

The me I was.
The me I was is past.
The me I was could not last.
The me I was is no longer me.
The me I was ceded to the me I am becoming to be.

We can't be who we used to be, but we can embrace who we are, and who we are becoming. Love who you were, but live who you are and love the you, you are becoming in HIM.

Dream a dream

Dream a dream of hope
Of hope in the deepest scope
Dream a dream of love
Of love divinely from up above
Dream a dream of peace
Of peace and soul at ease
Dream a dream of light
Of light that transforms the night
Dream a dream of Christ
Of Christ who sacrificed what sufficed

Dare to dream. Peace, love, and sweet dreams. #GOoDnight

In the rain...

In the rain

Falling tears are hidden
Young hearts are smitten
In the rain
Hopes are drowned
Refreshing joy is found
In the rain
Plans are doused
Opportunity is roused
In the rain
There is give and take...

Stir up love...

Stir up love... Love will grip you. Love will trip you. Love will flip you. Love will brighten, heighten, and some, frighten. Love will shaken, awaken, and fill your heart with joy at being taken. Love is powerful, pleasing, and prospering. Love will embrace whoever, hearten you to face whatever, and conjure up dreams of forever. Stir up love...

America

America~a people of self determination. A melting pot from a plethora of nations. A people pressed to push back against oppressive power. A self empowered lot, who seize their hour. A people that take the reins of destiny and fight to live and be free to be.

God turn our hearts unto THEE...
