my word

read and enjoy what God is teaching me everyday as I strive to be an imiator of him and as I long to live life to the fullest until the day that I will stand...no lie facedown...before my King, my Father. "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy." ~ 1 Peter 1:8

Stars and Us

Even the moon is not alone
it is surrounded by many stars
most you can't even see
They each have a part
in lighting up the sky for God

With my fellow
brothers and sisters
I too have the duty
no the privledge
of lighting up this world
for GOD!

"children of god without fult in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe" - Phil 2:15

I wish to be a tree - Abra

I wish to be a tree
In all of it's glory
Firm in stand
Not shaken by another hand
Either dressed or bare
It will always be fair
Stretching to the sky
And never living a lie
Identity as he see
God made him a tree
In a yard or countryside
That is for God to decide

A poem by me

I walked into a cave
Thinking it was a tunnel
No light it gave
Only into darkness via a funnel

Down, Down, I went
Into the dark abiss
No way to vent
Hoping to not miss

But everytime I closed my eyes
there my Savior stood
With all the tearful goodbyes
He will always be perfectly good

Life is now worth living
I now have a plan
To always be giving
Love received by a holy man

God Sent Me An Angel
by Tommy Q

I was walking along a country road one calm and cloudy day
Feeling down about the problems that had seemed to come my way
My pain was very great and my tears I could not hide
And was calling God to help me as I was hurting deep inside

I then thought about what I've believed and how I've rarely called
For sometimes I have wondered if God were there at all
As I lifted up my head and looked down that road a spell
I spotted someone coming - from the distance hard to tell

As he got a little closer I could then see all the signs
Of someone who'd been down that road quite a number of times
His clothes were old and dusty and his shoes were pretty worn
But there seemed a glow about him - at least I could have sworn

His face appeared real friendly as he peered up in the sky
He said, the weather is pretty calm today, hope the rain will pass us by
He first talked about the weather, but there seemed to be much more
That we both had in common, except for what we wore

He started talking about his life and the places he had been
And he spoke as if he knew me, like we were next-of-kin
From the problems that he had, to the happy times he found
Our likeness was uncanny and was becoming more profound

We had so much in common - I couldn't believe how much alike,
That I decided to tag along, we continued on our hike
He said he's from all over and his name was just like mine,
And hoped one day that we would meet as he had a real short time

I was feeling sort of baffled, as we went on with our walk
But he had held my interest, so I listened as he talked
He said, I know you're hurting - as your life has been so hard
But it seems today that you found God, where once you'd disregard

From the point that I was calling and was asking for God's hand,
Is the point where he had first appeared, as this was in God’s plan
He said to take more time for prayer - that I could bend God's ear
That He is always listening, and He is always near

God knows about my struggles but better times will be ahead,
As long as I keep believing and will no longer be mislead.
We then turned onto a sidewalk and now very close to home,
And it was then it struck me that I was suddenly now alone.

This stopped me in my tracks and I began to call his name
And it was then I understood, why to me that day he came.
I then realized God had heard me, as my Angel He then sent
To relieve me of my worries, and all my discontent.

Today I pray more often and feel blessed with my God's Love
As He was there and listening - and sent an Angel from above
