Reflecting Over My Journey: Things Have Been Changing And More To Come

Every September is a new year for me. Also, it's the ending of Summer and the transiting of the Autumn Season. It's was a good transition. I'm coming along in my New Year.

Through the years, I've enjoyed the Summer months. Then the years come and go. Things change. We have to go with the changes.

Since the first Friday in June 2017 there was no Friday night gatherings at the church I've been attending. I loved gathering with the church on Fridays. Well, things have changed.

I've adjusted to the changes. It appears that my Friday nights has changed as well. I'm back to what I somewhat use to do on Fridays.

I will admit, I've been lazy on Friday nights during the months of June through September 2017. It took me a while to overcome the changes. I doing okay.

I've been doing other things on Friday nights. I rarely gone out. After 23 years of gathering with the Church on Friday, it' s takes time to want to do other things.

I have cultivated some new things over the months. I've been practicing things. I think I'm coming along with it. I used to not going. It appears that regular, Friday night gatherings is a thing of the past.

I would always look forward to Fridays. Sad to say, I don't anymore. Now, it's just another day. I have a new attitude.

I'm learning to enjoy my Fridays and everyday now. I look forward to the day that I'm in . Not just the certain day of the week. But, each new day.

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. I'm learning to do that every day. It's good to gather with the church on the set time during the week. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying my every day life.

May we reflect back over things in our lives.
May we see the good in changes that come.
May we make the best of what we have in the time that we have on earth.
Amen!

Thanks for reading.
God bless you.

Still Journaling On My Other Sites

I haven't been writing poems for a long time. I seen to have fallen away from doing so. I have my other sites that I tend to.

I'm coming along with my family connections. That was the mean reason why I searching blogging. I wanted to record what I find. I have been coming across other long lost relatives.

I had my DNA test done in 2012 or so. I have about 449 DNA matches on Ancestry.com. There are many who don't know there family lineage. It's hard to figure out where people match.

I think some of the people who are taking the DNA test are out to find out where there ancestors came from. There are some who are going beyond that. They are wanting to make family connections. That's what I want.

It's nice to know where I ancestors came from. And it's even greater to contact with relatives that didn't know that they were related. That great joy it is the make that discovery.

I still journaling on my other sites.
I have other social media accounts as well.

Thanks for reading.
God bless you.

Resting, Still Waiting

Resting, still waiting, Dawning of new day
Newness in coming, Healing on its way

Waiting and waiting, Believe that it's so
His rays of beauty, Ancient days of old

Jesus, the Healer, We're forever bless
On His promises, In Him, we find rest

All in due timing, His Word comes to past
Keep standing, waiting, From start till the last

Believe that its so, By faith not by sight
Resting, still waiting, Quite in His light

On This Quiet Day

Mind drifting away, On this quiet day
Trying to keep focus, Going on my way

Now catching myself, Wondering away
Try to keep awake, Yawning as I pray

Still in quietness, My mind on display
Happy thanksgiving, Being as it may

Trying to keep focus, Going through this day
Mind drifting onward, Hoping won't stray

Rethinking this time, What's past? as I lay
Awake, forgiven, On this quiet day

In Cluttered Thinking

In cluttered thinking, Needing to push through
These tingled feelings, Making me unglued

Needing some balance, Life's journey must do
Every day living, Learning something new

Got to keep moving, From what we foresee
Caught in His presence, Perfect place to be

Endure to the end, Those things set in view
In cluttered thinking, Learning something new

The Journey Begins

The journey begins, Sacred time now here
Picking up my cross, Jesus drawing near

As I draw to Him, Every time aware
Daily His presence, Believing He cares

Been known in lifetime, Hoping to press on
New mind set onward, Awakens the dawn

New beginnings flow, Look beyond what's next
Having to regroup, It's not in context

Shaking out the past, Pressing on ahead
The journey begins, Being Spirit lead

Stepping Back In Time

Stepping back in times, Separate as it be
Sacred and holy, We're drawn to our knees

Rethinking our lives, What the Spirit leads
Turning our heart around, Teaching us, plant seeds

Recalling His goodness, Due time in our days
Be thankful, be kind, God's beauty display

Hope for tomorrow, Expressing always
Stepping back in time, Taking time to pray

What To Do For Now?

What to do for now? Waiting on the LORD
Which way should we go? Stand in one accord

Harmony, unity, God wants us to be
Together as one, Reflections, we see

The image of God, Human, all mankind
Building together, What we can define

Fellowship in God, Who guides our today
What to do for now? Be still, Quiet, pray

In times Of Changes

In times of changes, Which way do we go?
Left or to the right? Or move with the flow?

Be in tune with crowd? Go another way?
Do as we are told? Get down on knees, pray

O LORD what? O what, Is Your will for me?
Keep me on Your path, Help me learn to see

Your will and Your ways, In life and always
In good times, bad times, Where times are dismay

Guide my eyes to You, To the left or right
In times of changes, Increase my insight.

Crossing Over More

Crossing over more, Into the unknown
Not able to bare, What's not being shown

Still filling the air, Not picking up sound
Silence lingers by, No words to be found

Awaken my soul, Not to be afraid
For God is with you, In Him, He has made

Making all things new, Better then before
Believe this is so, Keep believing more

Every single day, Into the unknown
Crossing over more, Live by faith, not shown

Issues In Life Comes

Issues in life comes, In ways we don't think
Comes by surprise, Quicker then a blink

Right now, all is well, Next minute it's not
Cycles of cycles, Tied up in a knot

Moment by moment, Things keep piling up
Like no place to go, Going to erupt

Into whatever, Things come in the way
Life journey crossroad, Brings us go to pray

More and more often, His presence appears
Issues in life comes, God is always near

Don't Know What To Think

Don't know what to think, Seeing some weird things
Strange in its doing, Moving like a string

Pattern as it may, Not straining in a line
But, standing, this way, Not as so define

Hovering a while, Yet, floating about
As though its glowing, And not going out

It's so amazing, To see what's to see
Strange in its doing, Thought come upon me

It's blowing my mind, Wondering, How's this?
Don't know what to think, It looks like a disc

Still Again, It's So

Still again, it's so, Not able to do
What's there to be done? Hoping to get through

Each session at hand, Waiting, still waiting
God, what should I do? In times of hating

Not able to do, In times of stress
In hardship, in pain, Choosing to do less

Of worry, less talk, Trouble in its way
Rethink, casting cares, Taking time to pray

Confessing my sins, Doing what I do
Still again, it's so, O God, see me through

Preparing For Lent

Preparing for lent, The season awaits
Fasting and praying, In all through those dates

Rethinking our lives, The sin that's within
Focus on Jesus, His cross, way back when

In His suffering, Paid the price for all
Enter this season, To our knees, we fall

Relive the journey, Jesus walked upon
Journey to the cross, Soul awakes the dawn

Drawing closer still, Sacred time been sent
On this journey, Preparing for Lent

Time Is Valuable

Time is valuable, sacred in our days,
Don't waste given time, Have some plans always

Map out what doing, Make the moments count
Our life, it's sacred, Every day time mounts

In some things we do, In the things we say
Awaken to life, Blessings of each day

Time is so precious, So let's learn to flow
Don't waste what you got, No matter what you know

Take time to rethink, Invest, be at rest
Time is valuable, Do your very best

Doing A Lot Still?

Doing a lot still? But, not much to do
For myself doings, Moving where it's due

Life will keep changing, Those changes we fear
Though new things coming, We got to get there

Be set on journey, Look! there maybe clues
Options to seek forth, Where if then, we have to

Start doing some things, Let's not pass them by
Doing a lot still? Need to say good bye

Need To Love Others

Need to love others, We should learn to be
Forgiving, gentle, In all we shall see

In others we love, Serving as we bear
Confessing our sins, Showing that we care

Honor, encourage, Offering to pray
Teaching what we know, And living each day

Being used by God, Kindness carriers
Hospitality, Burden bearers

Others doing life, Together always
Need to love others, God's love we display
