Keep swimming

We smile, we cry, we mourn, we rejoice. The ins and outs of life… Among all these things God is present and grants us strength to persevere.

Thankful

Have a blessed Saturday, Put God first in everything and always show thanks for the grace he’s shown. That’s all. I plan on uploading more poems/writing material this year. I’m still working on finishing up my next book of poems.

He who finds a wife

Proverbs 18:22 “He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord” As husbands we should take the time to slow down from time to time and truly reflect on the goodness of God. This goes for God’s grace In generally but in this instance I’m specifically referring to the gift of our wife. As husbands and leaders of our family we naturally set the tone for the direction of our marriage, whether we realize that our not. The everyday demands of life can way us down but we have to remember that love is an action, so even in the midst of being burdened with today’s responsibilities we have to be intentional about loving and supporting our wives. There will be days we don’t “feel” like it, not because of anything they’ve done but because we’re drained from the day. Even in this we should continue to pour in into our wife and remain thankful for such a beautiful gift.

Faith beyond our understanding

I just wanted to hop on here and remind everyone that God is faithful. Even when we give up on ourselves and fail, despite us giving up on faith. God keeps working. To everyone reading this I genuinely would like to say God’s faithfulness in the midst of our internal struggles and outward faithfulness is amazing. Love you all.

Forever and some change

It’s been about a year in a half since I published my first book of poetry. I appreciate everyone who made a purchase and supported. I am currently in the process of writing my next book, taking my time and letting the thoughts flow freely. As I spend more time in God’s word and write I am discovering many things.

October writing challenge Day 30: What we have done

Look what these hands have done
Destroyed and built things of worth
Rear view memories cannot distort the
Visions of today.

October writing challenge day 29: Peace

Lost place
Slowly we gain composure
Over what was meant to suffocate..

This too passes over
With the passing of the shadows
And many prayers

October writing challenge day 26: Things we see tomorrow

Settled here with a sentiment of contentment

The fading of things awoke us to the dangers of

Of seeking fulfillment in the weather.

How the sun shines today may be the duality

From a grey overcast when we awake tomorrow.

October writing challenge day 25: Still, the sting

Even in present
Mistakes make their way back and
Steal peace from the night.
