Racing-CWWC

Here is my 4th entry for CWWC! It is a poem! I didn't try to cram in prompts this time, I just rolled with what I wrote. So I used 4 prompts this time! Here it is!! 

She ran along the railroad track, not once turning back.
She passed an old graveyard with the night turning black.
She clutched an old lantern, it’s light before her.
She raced on, for the sake of simply running.
She feared nothing for her eyes had been turned above.
To the one who saves all.
To the one who rules the world.
He saved her from the box, that hid all her falls.
The one marked with “bad memories.”
He saved her from the white creatures roaming the woods.
The ones that in a dream, had sabotaged her goods.
He saved her from her loneliness at her school.
For everyday, she sat alone at her desk built for two.
He saved her from all these things and many, many more.
She praises Him all the time, with all that she does.
Because she called out to Him in those times of loneliness.
She called out His name in the silence.
She thought He wouldn’t hear.
She thought He wouldn’t care.
But praise God she was wrong!
He did hear, He did care.
He saved her from her troubles, He saved her from her cares.
And now she praises Him all the time with all that she does.
For He saved her, and now He will save you.
She ran along the railroad track, not once looking back.
She passed an old graveyard, and the sky went black.
She raced on, for the sake of simply running.

She feared only God, for only He is worthy.

So there it is! I had fun writing this and I hope you enjoyed it!!

From Prison to Peace

It’s been quite a while since I have been able to write! I have had a wonderful, crazy summer! From dance camps to just swimming, I’ve had a great time. But I’ve returned, with more words that God has put on my heart. I hope you enjoy! The enemy is constantly trying to steal our peace. He is trying to steal our Joy. He is trying to keep us in bondage. Whether through deaths, broken relationships, or just day to day arguments, he is after us all. Tonight I realize why he does this. In Ephesians 6, Paul writes about the armor of God. As some of you will recall, this includes the shoes of the Gospel of Peace. When people trap or enslave others, they remove their shoes, to keep them from attempting escape. The Devil does the same thing. He has lulled us to sleep, and ensnared us in a dreary circle of apathy. Then, he removes our shoes, our peace, to ensure our detainment.  It is time to rise up and end our bondage! Even though Satan works to steal our peace, we can receive a...

Truth Over Lies

It starts as a small, still voice. Hiding in the back of your mind saying “is that REALLY true?” And just like that, the seed is planted. Even when you push it away for awhile, it still comes back, over and over. And one day, you realize you believe it. And that doubt, that lie, has become your truth.  You know what else starts as a still, small voice? Gods direction. You just have to stop and listen. Sometimes that means asking Him about your doubt or issue, sometimes it means simply focusing on Jesus and His beautiful power that surrounds you always.  Fear grows with attention. So does doubt. So does a 3 year old temper tantrums. So does your faith. Where is your attention going? What is clambering for your time, and what is winning? Because just as a 3 year old eventually gives up when he doesn’t get their way, Satan eventually stops trying. It may seem like a LONG time, and he usually tries to come back with something else, but you CAN win. In fact, we already...

Starting to Swim

“ …Your grace abounds in deepest waters Your sovereign hand Will be my guide Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me You've never failed and You won't start now.” Most of you have probably heard this moving song before by Hillsong United. It is a touching melody about allowing God move us into deeper waters. This theme, of going deeper into God’s heart, has been a recurring thought for me, and now I want to share those thoughts with you. The soft sand beneath your feet. The cool water at your fingertips.  The smell of salt in the air.  For me, this discribes one of God’s beautiful creations, the ocean. Though I am surrounded by land, I love our annual trip to Alabama’s coast line. It is refreshing to hear the waves crashing and just soak in God’s glory. But one thing is at the back of my mind whenever we go. Sharks. Although I know we will probably never swim far enough to actually encounter one, they have a powerful presence in the wat...
