Change

It is not because of who we are that we can change.
It is because of who He is,
And knowing it,
That enables us to change.

A New Day

So many things become clear,
In the light of a new day.

Sometimes we need rain to wash away,
All the former pain.

A new sun can bring so much hope,
And a blue sky,
Can infuse joy...

If you look forward,
If you refuse to look back,
If you learn from your mistakes,
And determine to do better
And have better,
Then anything is possible,
With a new day!

The Call of God

All of creation hears the call of God,
The sun raises and sets at the call of God,
The wind blows and rushes by,
The sea moves and the waves crash,
The rains come down,
Rivers flow,
The earth quakes,
Volcanoes erupt,
Snow falls and covers the ground like a beautiful white blanket,
Stars shoot across the sky,
The moon appears,
Flowers bloom and smile at God,
Trees reach for the sky,
Vegetation changes the landscape,
The whole earth is transformed at the call of God.

Regrets

The things we never do,
The places we never visit,
The people we never see,
The things we never say,

The secrets we keep in our hearts,
The love we hide or deny,

The anger we refuse to let go of,
The forgiveness we do not give,
These are some of the things
That will become regrets
In the end...

The Value of Time...

Time flies by,
It escapes us,
Our days are full,
Our tasks are many,
And time runs out...
It really waits for no man.

Hence the questions that should be asked:

1. What are you doing with your time?
2. Are you taking care of things that really matter?
3. Are you moving toward your goals daily?
4. When you look back at your life, do you have regrets?
5. What do you dream of doing?
6. Can you make time for your dreams?
7. Are you spending time with the people you love?
8. Do you make time for fun in your life?
9. Are you improving your self or your life daily?
10. And the big question...
Does God get the best part of your time,
or are you giving God your left overs?

My Prayer And Blessing For You...

That Life would not catch you off guard,
That you would always be ready,
For whatever comes at you.

That you would Know when and how
To fight and win,
That you would set healthy boudaries,
That you would protect your heart...
Your mind and body.

That you would remember how to love
With your whole heart...
Holding nothing back.
That the world would never change you...
That only God would transform you.

That you would always let the little child...
Within you...
Come out
to play,
To Believe,
To Dream,

And to create miracles for you.

Because I Asked...

I asked for more faith,
And I was stretched,
I asked for greater love,
And my heart was broken.

I asked for more wisdom,
And I had to go through many obstacles,
I asked for comfort,
And many were sent to me so that I could comfort them.

I asked for a teacher,
And I was moved to teach the needy,
I asked for a leader,
And now I have many who insist on following me.

God has an unusual way of giving us what we ask for...
Yet through it all,
I have been blessed,
Far more than I could have imagined.
