In my darkness
Both sides, light and dark, Jesus and Satan, asking for my attention. Darkness tugs at my body. Anxiety curls in my soul. In my weakness I'm so inadequate. I'll never be able to do this right. I'm too clumsy. It's too much. I can't do it. Anxiety places more items on my list. Not enough time. I can't do it on my own. When I'm here again Darkness hurls me down to my knees. I can't see anything but the floor. I'm trying to trust Jesus. I'm trying so hard. But all I can see is dirty carpet beneath my tired fingers. My shoulders weigh with everything. It's too much. It's too much. You find me. A gentle hand on my shoulder. Fingers slipping into mine. Eyes meet. He's on his knees next to me. Brushing my hair back. Helps me to my feet. I stumble, but I'm standing. One by one he pulls weight from my back. Spins me around. And he says two words. Trust me. Over and over again, your love and your mercy remain. No matter how far you find me where I am. Over again. --Over & Over Again by: I Am They

I don't have a lot of time, but I want to present you with a quick thought this morning.
Remember that verse somewhere in the New Testament of the Bible where Jesus was telling his disciples that if they stopped the people from singing, even the rocks would begin to sing praises to God? And lots of other parts in the Bible where it says that the earth praises God? I got to thinking a while ago and I jotted it down in my journal, that nature praises God just by doing what it's made to be doing. The rivers flow where their supposed to. The rocks provide foundations, like their supposed to. In Isaiah 6:4, a verse I was reading today, the seraphim shook the doorposts, singing like they were meant to. They do what their meant to do, no more and no less. Why should we do anything different? We are created to love others and God. You don't have to do everything. Something your friend was created to do, may not be the same as yours. Don't compare. Just be. |
About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
