Today I Love
Today,
With all my heart,
I cherish you deeply.
Tomorrow,
Uncertainty may linger
and a discouraging knock
may resound at my door,
I will hold on to hope,
I will still dream forevermore.
Yesterday,
As it replays in my mind,
The memories echo in my head.
I will keep them close to my heart,
safe, forever, and always.

PILLAR OF STRENGTH
Lord, You are my healer and my unwavering strength.
You are the solid pillar on which I now firmly sit.
In times of trouble and weakness, I confidently
turn to You for the guidance and healing I need.
You are my strong tower, the source of my victories.
From the moment of my redemption,
my soul has been set free.
You embody the soundness and
fulfillment that my spirit seeks.
With all my heart, body, and soul,
I pledge myself to You freely.
I commit to serving and worshipping humbly
at the heels of Your holy feet.
This is my steadfast promise to You,
an oath I will honor for all eternity.

Sculptured Masterpiece
Lord, I am your clay piece,
hand-picked, sculptured masterpiece,
broken in places only thine eyes can see.
I come before my Lord and King
seeking wisdom and understanding.
I stand before your grace
as a warrior out of place,
fragile and lacking faith.
Again, Lord, I seek your face.
You are my protector,
familiar with all my ways.
I am here, Lord,
asking for the strength
to fiercely defend
the sanctity of self-space.
I am here, Lord,
seeking your face, inclining
your gentle spirit and kind ways.
I am here, Lord,
seeking your grace.

**FIGHT OF FAITH**
In my darkest moment,
the enemy sought to devour me.
As he attempted to take hold,
I shook him free.
I held onto faith
while taking hold of grace.
I didn't fear
because God's presence was near.
I stood strong
with the power of God before me.
Jesus! My rock,
my salvation, my everything.
With Him, I stand victoriously.
He is all the strength I need.
Where would I stand
if not for my Savior and King?

HIM I FOUND
I looked all around for my Savior,
whom I could not find.
With fogged eyes and an unclean heart, I cried out,
"Please help me!" I called aloud,
for my Savior was nowhere to be found.
They said, "Cry out to the Lord!"
I replied, "I did yesterday,
but He didn't come my way."
They said, cry out to the Lord again today.
For I have doubt, and I am ashamed,
as I have no justification to claim.
They said, "He's a forgiving God;
He is acquainted with your pain,
and He knows your name."
Once more, I exclaim,
for I have doubt, and I am ashamed,
as I have no justification to claim.
"Reach out to Him with a sincere heart.
He is the Father of merciful grace.
He will reveal Himself
at just the perfect time and place.
All He ever asks is that you keep the faith."

WHERE Did LOVE GO?
This roller coaster ride was thrilling and sometimes to no end,
but not the joy ride I envision for our vows to end.
You have the power to bring me the most joy and pain.
I can no longer differentiate between the two.
Loving you has left my mind jumbled and confused.
Is it wrong that I willingly endure the pain loving you brings?
Is it worth enduring such shame to proudly bear your name?
Is it wrong to lay humbly at your feet, to be throttled?
All so that our children can rightfully call you father.
Why should I even bother?
I've attempted to move on, declaring "No more!"
Yet, my frail heart betrays me, refusing to let go.
Why do I keep punishing myself this way?
Can I dare to hope to escape the bitterness I taste?
I've been told to stand tall and stay strong,
but I challenge, Lord, for how long.
How can I muster the courage to triumph in this battle
with a heart that's broken and shattered?
So Where Did Love Go? … I looked deep within.
Through the spiraling pain I experienced,
I found solace in a higher power, which led me to discover
the promise of a fulfilling life and a brighter tomorrow.
I will take this new path with or without you; it doesn't matter.
I now know I don't deserve to be mentally or physically battered.
I deserve to be loved, even if it is solely from God above.
Selfish, I am not,
so I encourage you to take this walk alongside me.
No longer shall I follow blind steps in front of me.
My pathway must remain clear of all debris.
To fulfill my calling fated by God, my Creator and King.
So Where Did Love Go? …I found it within.
I learned that self-love starts with me.
I now take ownership of my destiny. Love never left me.
I discovered it was I that confused love hierarchy.
After searching deep within, I found love and set it free...

“Letter Unto Thee”
May the words you speak…
Have the soft musical tones of a fragrant sweetness,
Reflecting your unique quality of humble meekness.
May your friends and family regard you as a blessing,
Not just for your deeds, but simply for the essence of your being.
Always Remember…
When life was less than kind to you,
Your love for others remained steadfastly true.
Your devotion to God never wavered.
Even when life's challenges made it less than savor.
In faith, you stood strong, and rather than abandon an unfamiliar life,
You knelt, looked to the heavens, and sought the fervent embrace of Jesus Christ.
Know That…
You are a chosen and anointed child of the King.
A beautiful, courageous, and extraordinary being.
One who embodies strength and integrity,
A compassionate and bold heart, with a tender spirit.
You are a warrior, a defender of God's grace, and a keeper of the familial space.
A champion, a guardian of love, a contributor, and a sentinel for God's love.
In Closing…
May your gentle ways and kind heart be your compass of faith,
Illuminating the path to guide others along this Christian Highway.
May you remain unwavering in your truth,
As God has purposed for you.

Power Over My Enemy
I live in the power of the Almighty King,
In the name of Jesus.
I speak against satan, my enemy.
You are powerless against me!
Your pebbles and stones cannot harm me.
Only! If I allow you into my head space, you can deceive me.
My disbelief will be my only downfall or defeat.
You forgot the promise of God to His chosen ones.
That is, Jesus Christ himself will be the Chief Cornerstone.
He is the source of my hope in times of need.
The foundation of my unwavering belief.
When I bend my knees in prayer, he is there with me.
He is the answer to all things, whether problematic or free.
I celebrate His authority and the independence it provides me.
Because I live in the power of the Almighty King,
I stand tall against the enemy.
I condemned him as powerless against me.
For I am a child of the living King.

Psalm 28:7 KJV The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped.
-GOD IN WHOM I BELIEVE-
My faith and trust in you for the things that I need
In your loving arms, I’ve found security
In your sanctuary, I am most content to be me
Surely, floods of life will come and go
And the love of men is sure to wax cold
But I am assured, your love for me will never faint or grow old
In your hands, you hold the rewards of refuge and strength
Somehow, facing life’s raging storms is made easy
Knowing you are in control and holding the key to my life’s destiny
God, you are so Mighty, Gallant, and Strong
Creator of all things
You could have chosen many people more qualified than me
With humbleness, I say thank you for the lesser choice in choosing me
I do not doubt that my heart and soul are at peace with thee
In the hours when my spirit is low, broken, and weak
It is you, God, that I seek
I know you will always be there to comfort me
You will stand by my side in defense of my enemies
Blessed is your name amongst all princes and kings
--You are the God In Whom I Believe--

How Can I ?
A Poetic Psalm - In Search of Strength
How can I begin to share the intimacy of my thoughts
Without it having a profound effect on yours?
How can I keep silent of the secrets that scream to be told?
How can I be humble when I have failed to be bold?
How can I speak aloud of the things that possess no voice?
How, how can I decide if I’m given no choice?
How can I say no, not me,
When yes on my lips is my permanent speech?
How can I stand strong against that which I am most weak?
How can I differentiate my strengths from my weaknesses,
When both are entwined like branches seeking sustenance
From the same root tree?
How can I continue to consent to bitterness
When I intend to receive only sweet?
How, how can I obey
When my ears are mute to the words that you say?
On my own accord, my heart, have I turned away.
How can I move forward if I cannot gather the past?
How can I hold on to love
When the appreciation of it doesn’t last?
How can I sustain myself
When the foundation beneath me fell away and the
Walls that once protected; now void space.
How, how can I survive if I fail to exist?
How can I find the courage to demand to simply be
When I have permitted others to manipulate me.
How can I give into fear and doubt and expect to be
Victoriously and retain dignity?
Am I, not uniquely me and without price reborn free?
How, how can I not
If I am to stand blame for my iniquities.
This walk of life is my God-given responsibility?
How can I not stand in command for a birthright
That’s been bequeathed to me?
How can I not for me, be battle-ready to fight for that
Which I know is right?
I must stand up strong even in my wrong?
For I am worthy to compete in the middle of the ring.
Only God, Himself, could have reached out and enabled
Me to be both fierce and free.
Yet to some, through blind eyes, I may appear weak.
For I am surely strong; a person of unique strength.
How Can I, How Can I Not for Me?
