Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is of my own,
Not to go to those that have done wrong to me,
Release the rope, their bad deeds done,
They will no longer hold grip on me.

I forgive to begin my healing,
To release my mental stilts,
To come crashing down so I can build myself up stronger,
Their pain no longer hurts like a crushing boulder.

To forgive is to make space in your heart for the new,
Use that energy on something just for you,
Create, dance, hobby, sing, write, read, bike or hike

That’s what forgiveness is about.
There’s no reason to be constantly down and out,
Sometimes a good cry is all you need,
But pause… Dont stay there, in the silent, for they are no longer there.

You’re free, once you forgive, to heal your wound,
Don’t rebuke that it’s not your responsibility.
Your new mission, find the tranquility,
To start a fresh in a new head and heart space.

So take my hand, and take my plead,
Please don’t grow the volatile seed.
A healing story is all you need.

So take my hand, come with me,
And you’ll find your story, hands tremblin’

….

Who can you forgive today?

My Spark

My Spark

It’s my time for me,
So this spark can be,
Something more I can share with the world.

My children come first,
And this is my hobby,
To be done for no one but me.

Time to think,
Let the words flow,
Off my mind and written as word.

Trace my silent thoughts as I travel this path,
And I’ve seen my audience grow.

Filling and following,
One then two now three,
My talent is beginning to bloom.

People take notice,
I use to think this childish and atrocious,
Only saying cute rhymes to my kids.

As the days travel on,
Whatever this form,
Flows easily out of my hand,

For my mind at ease,
My heart not to freeze,
I finally have an outlet to the world,

Presented to include and belong,
Some sing it as song,
This will be mine to keep,
For the moments we weep.

Growing Bravely

Growing Bravely

Not for me,
Back away,
Who am I to do this anyway?

I can’t do this,
No one will care,
Red alert, I’m gonna miss.

It feels uncomfortable,
But in a new way,
I feel very unstable!

This must not be for me,
Cmon, why can’t I just see,
This work won’t help anyone.

Hold up lady,
Is what you tell yourself true?
I know this is all new.

Change this, flip that thought,
Your impact doesn’t have to be naught.
What is it, here, I can be taught?

I am bold enough,
To try again,
All I need to do is write and hit send,

I can tell myself,
I’m a gal, trying her best,
To service my family crest,
And to heal others journey,
Through others I can see,
The places they need healing.

I can go there,
Through the growth,
Uncomfortable and ugly truth,

To help and to heal,
To find their zeal,
To see their own potential,
It’s a healing essential.

I won’t back down,
I won’t give up,
I won’t stay stuck,
Even if I feel a muck,
This is for me,
This is the way,
And who knows if it will end up where I’m getting paid.

I have my goals,
For my little family,
I can go with the rolls,
Even if I still feel full of holes.

I will not back down,
I will not give up,
I will not let your future make you stay stuck in the past.

For on your wall your story will fall,
Of all your experience and pain,
Your transformation will be anything but tame.

Because I was you, lost and alone,
My feelings put on the back burner.
Time to transition, time to move on,
From the pain that was caused in the last year.

Time to experience, time to explore
What new things life has to offer.
Heal your pain, it holds you no more,
Lets put your healing journey up on your wall.

Release the pressure

Release the pressure

Release the pressure valve,
I’m trying to breathe,
Overthinking, overthinking,
Can’t it just leave me be?

Brains got the foot on the gasket,
While my thoughts end up in the basket.
Breathe.

Tone it down,
Let it settle,
Make it feel right,
Until it sees daylight.

Little area of spark,
Little area of play,
Let my creativity come out today.

I settle my thoughts,
I talk to God,
He knows the way forward,
I’ll no longer be sad by these thoughts running round in my head.

Pressure released,
For anything I have in my heart,
I won’t depart,
From what is coming onto the page.

Intention, intention,
I let it flow down,
Quickly, without sound,
My thoughts are written down.

Flint & Mustard Seeds

Flint & Mustard Seeds

I can so relate to everything you’re saying here and thank you for sharing your analogies and the Bible’s analogies Nigel Woolley.

I was told I have a grumpy face
I looked unhappy growing up
Was told I couldn’t have fun or take the pace,
Little did I know I was practicing my flint face.

As a child I was told I was blunt
And had zero tact,
And when I couldn’t understand, I was shun’d.
Little did I know I was on the truth hunt.

Caz of Sunday Christians I left the church
I couldn’t see past their Sunday smiles…
I could see their hurt and was on a search
They told me to get off my perch.

This is my family, my loved ones
Who shut me down constantly,
They didn’t like it when I questioned their usual runs,
Little did I know I was fighting with The Son.

I questioned everything,
To the point of leaving God,
And expanding my knowledge
On every possible thing
Little did I know the end twist

Man can’t replicate.
Men will never know the depths of the ocean,
He will never know the magic of the crystal,
He will never know how to make the Dodo bird.

Man will never know.
He won’t know the creatures the sea holds
The depths of knowledge are far to vast for him.
The ends of the earth are never enough for man.
There is no end.
He will create an end.

Something he knows he can’t control.

The battle is spiritual. It’s a force. It is life.
And that’s how I welcomed back God.

Through fear and grief, Love overcame
Through heartache and disappointment, love overcame
Through the hills and valleys, love shines through always,
For there is nothing greater.

You ask and you will receive,
based on your faith the size of a mustard seed.
Faith grows beyond knowledge,
And it’ll do us good with the Word to read,
He’ll answer us in just what we need.

Today I prayed for God to fix my daughter.
Her teachers praise was no accident.
God spoke through her and gave me another light
I knew it was me that didn’t have it right,
I taught her good, I taught her well,
But I couldn’t rid of the lies about her my brain would tell,
He gifted me perspective,
Her teacher was the elective,
And now I hold a different directive.

She is smart, capable and clever.
And in a few hours my life changed forever.
Through asking for God,
Who has my back,
He fixed up the crack,
That was starting to untack.

He changed my mind in a 20 minute span,
All I needed was Lilly’s raving fan,
A shift in me,
From the size of a mustard seed.

Lords Love

Lords Love

The Lord’s love can’t leak out
Give our Lord the troubles, shout.
Be whole from the inside woman,
And soon your a woman bloomin’,
You ain’t gonna go without.

God’s words steadfast and true,
Girl you ain’t with God to be blue.
So have faith he’s got your mind,
He’s got your name signed.
You trusted him with your heart and it’s anew.

Your fleshed washed in his blood, baptize.
Hun you’re now made to rise.
Use your hands, your feet your voice,
You can pray, sing and rejoice.
Gods gift to you is his prize.

So fall down at his knees,
He’ll bless your heart with ease.
Give him your all,
He’ll bless your soul,
All your enemies he’ll appease.
It’s no joke, it’s his breeze
No foul play involved,
And you’re problems are solved
God will meet all your needs!

So let it be so,
Lean in and just know
If you bring forth your mind believe,
No matter what, God won’t leave
And to him there’s nothing you owe.
So take part,
Uncover your heart,
And give your life to the Lord,
He’ll be you’re safety board,
And from you he’ll not depart

For your kingdom come,
For your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven,
To us the bread is given,
In you temptation comes undone.
And our enemies will run,
From our voices your name rises like the sun.
It’s in you that we are livin’
For you the Lord has risen,
And unlocked us from this prison.

Let us forgive those gentiles that do us wrong,
And lead us up into great song,
Deliver us from evil,
For yours is the kingdom,
The power and the glory forever and ever, amen.
