Cloudy days

Appear in many ways

They make you think of what’s to come

And count your blessings

Each and every one

Cloudy days will force you to look at your heart

And acknowledge what was present from the start

They’ll keep you strong

As you move along

Cloudy days are pure

And evidence of God’s love for sure

They’re meant to be

And that’s no mystery

Cloudy days have a purpose

They bring what’s in you to the surface

As strange as it may sound

They’ll keep you on solid ground

They won’t break you

They’ll carry you through

Cloudy days are designed to instill trust

Putting God first is a must

When you fall, rise again

Faith will help you win

On cloudy days

Random Thoughts

I awaken to the rising sun

I give thanks and prasie for my blessings

Each and every one

I’ve remained strong

While moving along

I’ve embraced my dreams

And there are more on the way it seems

I’ve tasted the sweet nectar of success

And the bitterness of failure

When others thought I was done

I held on to my principles

I’ve avoided fear

By keeping God near

One thing is true

God has brought me through

I know which way to go

And that’s helped me grow

Whenever I fall I rise again

Faith helps me win

I’ve turned around

Placed my feet on solid ground

I’ll never remain the same

I know my name

Challenges help in every way

I pray every day

My power I’ve sought

These are my random thoughts

Breaking Away

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

Time has moved swiftly

I’ve embraced it completely

I’ve changed

I’ve been rearranged

I’ve put away childish things

I’m basking in the joy that brings

I can truly say

I’m breaking away

I look back over the past to learn

I receive that for which I yearn

I proceed without fear

Because God is near

I gather the blessings granted

And water the seeds planted

It’s safe to say

I’m breaking away

Each day I look at something new

And see what God has brought me through

My voice I raise

In a song of praise

It’ll last long

Because God keeps me strong

It’s safe to say

I’m breaking away

I embrace life in its truest form

Prayer helps me face every storm

I thank God for it all

I heed  His every call

I’m precisely what He’s created me to be

It’s no mystery

It’s safe to say

I’m breaking away

Foundation

I’ve traveled great distances while on my mission

With grace and mercy, I’ve secured my position

It’s been a long haul

But I’ve heeded the call

I say without  hesitation

Faith is my foundation

I’ve been through the fire

Right down to the wire

I fall and rise again

God shows me where to begin

I say without hesitation

Faith is my foundation

Some have tried to shame me

And others have defamed me

I continue my journey

Cause it’s ordained by God only

I say without hesitation

Faith is my foundation

My purpose is clear

I hold it dear

I ignore naysayers

Instead I say my prayers

I say without hesitation

Faith is my foundation

I’ve come a long way and have much further to go

The trek will help me grow

I’m covered by grace

In every place

I say without  hesitation

Faith is my foundation

Dear God,

I sit quietly at will

Knowing you love me still

There’s no doubt

You always work things out

You are the essence

I’m blessed by your presence

I continue my journey as planned

With you holding my  hand

You cover me with grace

As I move from place to place

You are the essence

I’m blessed by your presence

You strengthen me when I’m weak

I take heed whenever I hear you speak

With you I’ll go far

As I reach for the star

You are the essence

I’m blessed by your presence

People wonder where my foundation lies

All they have to do is look in my eyes

My purpose is clear

I’ll always hold you near

You are the essence

I’m blessed by your presence
