So start some things new

Where God Can Use Us

Pressure in life comes
Within daily trials

Deal with what's at hand

The love of God brings comfort and warmth upon us all around.

There is a peace that we can understand in the storm.
There is a calmness that we feel.
Pray before during in and after the storms of life.

Pull Away From Danger

What pulls us to danger?
Those things not good for us

Seem to be drawn back to
What we should leave, not trust

Just cut loose from the string
Break away from old ties

Pull away from danger
No matter what, its' wise

Are we blinded by what we fear might happened?
Or is it we enjoy the thrill?

We need to believe God and move on.
We need to let go of the string.
and cut loose from old lies and ties of life.

Start anew.

Words Had Left Silence's Life

Silence listeners stay low
Behind the scene to read

Not uttering a word
Waiting to hear what's said

Just sitting in silence
Not a word that was said

Words had left silence's life
Without words to dread

Silence's life is silent.

We will never know how much we bless others.
Without commenting or speaking how will others know?

There's Something We Don't See

Trying to make things work
But, how can this thing be?

Like voices don't matter
Do others come to see?

Where we are coming from
Or how we might be heard?

Yet, listening not a word

So, what are we missing?
What is it we don't get?

There's something we don't see
May we all learn a bit

There was an issue that kept coming up.
When ideas and suggestions were mentioned....
It was like what was said was not heard.
We want things to be in unity but not hear what others say.
How is that being in unity?

What is the point in saying some things?
Do each voice matter?
We can learn from others when they don't see others' point of view.
It's not who's right or who's wrong.
It's working together as a team.
Or is it something we all don't see?

Do We Care About Them?

Do we consider others?
What we do, they can see

The good, bad, the ugly
Those mishaps we let be

No correction on them
Building up stuff that goes

Tend not to see what's there
In all see shame that shows

It's bringing deception
Such thoughts that fades away

Do we care about them?
OR let them go astray

We can do one thing for others but not for another.

How we can thank someone for our birthdays,
But not thanking another who wish the same thing.
Is it that we don't know that person?
Or just wanting the wish?

Still there should be some respect to people who don't know.
It bring hurt to others who are left out especially friends.

Do we care about them? Them the others who we don't know...
Or are we pleasing our closer friends to make them feel better?

We should be kind to all who are kind to us.
We are no lesser than another.
We should show some love.
We are all loved by GOD.

Life's Is Too Precious

There's no time too lose
When things fall too short

Always hurrying
Things there to abort

Slowing down the paste
So make the utmost

In all what's needed
For we shouldn't boast

Take each day by one
To treasure that day

Life is too precious
Keep up on the way

Let God Change Come

Feel the change coming?
Sensing things by sight?

Fear, worry comes near
God's wisdom shades light

Be still, calm down, rest
In the LORD, He cares

Cast burdens to Him
Have faith, so don't fear

God is in control
Trust in Him, His ways

Let God's change come
Work with Him each day

Change Mind Set, Let Go

It's strange to let go
Got to move on more

Before left behind
But didn't get sore

Change mind set to flow
Shake off what was there

All things become new
It's in who we share

Come, behold the change
Can you hear the call?

Change mind set, let go
See there's good for all

Shaping me brand new

For You have changed me

Poem: Come To Him Each Day

I forgot to post a poem for this day.

I have to come back with one.

April 21, 2010

Why do we keep going
When things seem to be lost?

Going through the motions
Remember the cross?

Jesus our Savior
Paid it all in full

Come to Him each day
Give Him no more dull.

How did I come up with this poem?
Just filling in this space...

God Has The Plan

There comes a time
Things we let go

Move on with life
So things can flow

Forget the past
See what's ahead

Life worth living
Not to see dread

Come up higher
Climb out of pit

God has the plan
Step out a bit

Changes Come About

Change how doing things
When the brook gone dry

Quit wearing self out
When things have yet died

Just choose something new
Enter in the rest

Changes come about
There will be test

God Forgives Wishes Not Done

Ever wished not to do
But still did it anyway?

Than wishing could ease it
Thinking it wouldn't stay

But only if we could
Hold on to what is right

Deep down in spirit, man
Where we can see His light

Reveal the wrong to God
Forgiveness from the heart

God forgives wishes that's done
As if wasn't from start

As I Began To Write

Looking over poems
Many things I can see

Page after another
A poem formed to be

Just how did I compose
Each word written from thoughts

Formed into a poem
As though those words were brought

Into my thinking mode
Perhaps there lies the key

As I began to write
Words flowing came to be

Feeling low inside
Brings sadness to soul

Crushing down the mind
Weariness that flows

Wanting to but lay
waste away in sleep

Thinking it will leave
While the soul still keeps

Consuming lost thoughts

How to cast away
Sorrow, pain that's brought?

Seek the LORD for HELP
Standing on His word

Don't listen to lies
Speak His word, Be heard

Sharing some burdens

By His Spirit feed

With wisdom to do

Some Of My Thoughts

I haven't been at this blog much. I have other sites that I've been keeping up on. I don't know what to use this site for.

I thought about using it to post some of my poems. I'm all most at 500 poems in about a year and a half.

Added: 20 April 2010:
I see that the purpose of this site has changed. I have come along ways. I do journal a lot on my other sites.

As I looked back on some of my postings on this Susan's Journal a lot has changed in what I wrote about on this site.

Life goes on. People change. People move on and do other things. I think it would be wise to record my poems on this site.

I see at some some point when I post my poems, I should add where or how I got the idea to write the poems. It could explain some things about my poetry.

Keep Staying On The Journey,
Susan

It's a NEW YEAR!

December 2009

Didn't blog here...

Blog Sites: Why Join?

On July 1st, I jotted down how many blog sites that I have. I wrote the dates that I jointed. I thought about why I jointed that site. Here's the list in the order that I jointed.

# Blog sites: Day Joined: Reason:

1. Xanga 13 November 2006 Friends there
2. Myspace October 2007 Family members there.
3. Blogspot 25 March 2008 Wanted another site to journal
4. ? 8 April 2008 Don't know why joined
5. Facebook 24 August 2008 Friends
6. My Life 28 June 2009 Asked or invited to join by a friend
7. Blogspot 30 June 2009 For Family History Recording.

Out of all these sites I am mostly on Xanga. Facebook would be second. The least would be the ? site that I signed up to.

Why do I think that I need to sign up to blog sites? Is it because my friends are there? Or is it because I like to be there and journal?

I can say that out all the sites, I'm here in Xanga the most. I like to journal. Here in Xanga there is no pressure. I can be myself.

I will admit facebook did give me some heartaches and depression. I have come along ways from what I have experienced. I see some things in a new light.

I know that I can easily just leave facebook. But that's not the point. I see a purpose in being there. There things that I do there.

I have found some friends while joining blog sites. Most of the friends leave and move on. Why join blog sites? I don't know the real reason. It might be out of curiosity to find out more about people.

May the LORD guide us in what to do with our blog sites. May what we learn and experience lead us into what God has for us. May we find our purpose in why we join blog sites.

While On The Journey
Blog Sites: Why Join?

I don't need to join any other blog sites.
I'm itching to have my poems somewhere.
I have well too many blog sites..

Blessings,
Susan
