Seeing With Faith Eyes

Seeing with faith eyes, Things believing, come
Not know how it be, Nor adding up some

What's the difference? Between now and than?
Better I do hope, From way back to when

Things so challenging, As life came about
Not like use to be, Thinking of, no doubt

Change in attitude, Set forth new visions
Seeing with faith eyes, Making decisions

Turning More Away

Turning more away, Need not to go there
Have learned my lessons, Have to know to care

About what I need, And what I should do
Keep waiting on God, He'll guide me on through

Need not to worry, Trusting in the LORD
Not in what I lack, Or least, can't afford

Keep the faith in Him, Leave the past behind
Turning more away, Seeking peace of mind

About Reached The End

About reached the end, And not looking back
Coming to complex, Staying on the track

Journey long and hard, Lessons have been learned
Along the path trail, Becoming, discerned

Hard way in getting,  Is this what I need?                      
Not knowing the truth, Must move on indeed
                   
Having to rethink,  The longing, I want
About reached the end, Being bold and blunt

Tough Times Keeps Coming

Tough times keeps coming, How to make amend?
Tighten up a bit, Not knowing the end

How to pay the cost? Higher that I thought
Have to let things go, Can't afford what bought

How to make payments? Each month by the year?
Mind racing to, fro, Moving into fear

Resting, thinking, how, To get through this mess?
Tough times keeps coming, Lord, help me to rest

End Of An Era

End of an era, New things birthing forth
On the horizon, Seeing a new torch

Hand-off to future, Teach them how to live
Life experiences, Teach them how to give

Of themselves freely, To God almighty
Bringing them up to, Be all they can be

Guided by His Light, This generation
End of an era, God's inspiration

Celebrating Life

Celebrating life, In ways that should be
Full in abundance, God's love as we see

Those surrounding us, Expressing in ways
Going about life, With all in our days

Cherishing moments, Not to waste away
Treasure the time sent, Beauty, God displays

In the time we have,  With one another
Celebrating life, Sisters and brothers

Drifting Along Ways

Drifting along ways, From days pasting,gone
Distant memories, Don't know what with wrong

Forgiven, forgotten, Singing brand new songs
Believing, hoping, Faith being made strong

Jesus, trail journey, In lifetime we do
Awaken to bedtime, Along pathway through

Seeing, exploring, Discovering who?
Drifting along ways, Becoming anew

Learn To Be Quiet

Learn to be quiet, Not  a sound be heard
Resting be at ease, Muttering God's word

Medicine to soul, Partaking each dose
His presence therein, The more we should boast

On life's road traveled, God won't let us go
Whatever we do, He wants us to grow

In our life's struggles, In prayer by night
Learn to be quiet, Seeking God's insight

Move forward ahead, Search on to define

Not fake in doing, Nor what makes you feel

Coldness In The Air

Coldness in the air,  Like strong Winter wind
Setting inward, Like having no end

Strange as it may sound, This weather by far
More unusual, How we think, we are

Better in our ways, Adjusting to air
As the season comes, The more we may bare

Time and time again, The Fall comes Winter
Along Spring's trail, Summertime sprinters

Come along and rest,  What matter? reasons
Coldness in the air, Comes in all seasons

Feeling Out Of Place

Feeling out of place, Thing, where I'm at?
Different in doing, How to come to that?

Still wondering yet, Don't know where fit in
Hoping to become, Not blown by the wind

Aware of places, Where I need to be
Believe God will come, More than what can see

Beyond where standing, Moved by faith yet seen
Feeling out of place, Resting in between

Excited In Knowing

Excited in knowing, Info discovered
Searching through records, Yet, be uncovered
Think so, but not sure, Waiting year by year
Records are released, New info, now here

Though years have done passed, Clues later be found
Searching newspapers, Let there be a sound

Lost records alive, Living as it be
Excited in knowing, But long yet to see

Shedding more of old, Not going to last

This to will soon end, Days of yester-years

Surrounding our lifetime, We all tend to blend

In with the others, Stepping out in field
Going in some more, For God in our shield

Struggling Somewhat

Struggling somewhat, To get through season
Life being so hard, Questioning, reasons

Those things don't make sense, Too long in this place
Needing to move on. LORD help us to face

Such matters at hand, Keep us in this race
Not looking around, But keeping the pace

To focus on You, The quest every day
Help us to just do, as long as we pray

What You've have called, From darkness to light
Struggling somewhat, But, getting insight

At Closure At Rest

At closure, at rest, Shaking off the dust
Cease thinking of past, Moving on, a must

Dealt with the pain, Can't say any more
Allow God to heal, Don't open up sore

So let the Lord guide, You on through the end
Keep pressing forward, Faith soar into wind

God is guiding you, Be calm and relax
At closure at rest, Making an impact

Shift In Some Doings

Shift in some doings, Make room for the new
Got to let go of, keep moving on through

Each valley below, Every mountain top
In believing God, Hoping not to stop

Keeping in contact, In what all be done
Doing all you can, Through Jesus, God's Son

Coming up higher, God's making things new
Shift in some doings, We all must pursue

For the Lord to come, This longing, not late

Believing, He's here, In Spirit and truth
His Word ever stands, Holding tight, not loose

Been stirred up inside Keep looking ahead
Believe in His word, For what He has said

Be open to hear, Awaiting the wait
A turning inside, Sensing, don't set dates

Letting Go What Passed

Letting go what passed, Pressing; moving on
Beyond the sorrow, Lingering upon

The years passing by, Holding on, what's good
Times treasured in heart, For though as we should

Have strength to follow, Broken yet singing
Joy within Spirit, A voice that's bringing

Praises to the LORD, In Spirit and truth
Breaking mind set forth, Turning some things loose

From bondage once held, Mind set to be free
Letting go what's passed, Praying, let things be

All things, possible, Keep going His way
Be encouraged on, Having faith to pray
Wisdom will come forth, Listen with your heart
Having time to come, Just learn, where to start

When wanting my way, Selfishness got through

Looking for the good, Planting some more seeds

Selfless in doing, Interested in who?

So ever indeed, Becoming on through
Going beyond self, Those things use to do

Having to adjust, Looking what to see

Rethinking what's now? Not the end of line
Moving up farther, Emerging sunshine

Having to let go, What lays behind here
It's all in the past, Stretch forth doing near

Next level in live, Having to adjust
Time to keep moving, In all we just must

To do what's needed, In life come to be
Feeling more changes, Looking what to see

Memories Linger

Memories linger, Yesterday now past
By days in moments, Heart felt that will last

That brought impressions, Upon our thinking
The changes us inside, As though we're drinking

But, come to senses, In who we could be
Or become in life, That person we see

New way of living, Brings us to our past
Memories linger, As long as they last.

Beyond Where Going

Beyond where going, Needing to step back
Look at where headed, Focus, keep on track

Shake off things, let go, Have to keep going

Making a difference, Give a helping hand

Set goals, awaken, Aside life's doing
Beyond where going, Life in pursing

A country stood stock, Nation came to pray

Such a lost for words, Not much more to say

On the right pathway, In Him we must trust

No matter what comes, Keep the faith in Him

Stopping At Crossroad

Stopping at crossroad, Take another look
So where am I at? Think, what's in the book?

Recorded last year, Made notes of those things
What came about way? What joy did it bring?

What's set before me? What to leave behind?
What need do I share? What shall become mind?

Thinking, just thinking, What chooses to make?
Stopping at crossroad, Which way will I take?

Stepping Out The Box

Stepping out the box, Trying other things
Feel not interested, What life has to bring

Withdraw, holding back, Don't fit in the mole
Like an outsider, Not completing whole

Feeling kind a lost, In the crowd, amidst
Stranger, an outcast, Yes, not on the list

No need to worry, No matter who's who
Get mind set on God, In all that I do

Turning the pages, Making room for new
Stepping out the box, Pressing onward through

On a brand new trail, Left others behind
Looking on ahead, Ready to come dine

With Jesus, our LORD, at the table of love
Communion with saints, What can I think of?

Each time with Jesus, On this journey road
With me as I past, Over heavy loads

Weight me to the ground, Out my thinking mind
Sacred time holy, God in whom we find

The way we go back, To life, death to start
On a brand new trail, Moved to do my part

People's opinion No matter insight

No matter who thinks, Be slow to answer
Quick not to anger, Words spread like cancer

Be open to hear, Listen with your heart

Daily guarding heart, No matter what think
Keep your cool inward, Don't speak words at stink
