Romans 5:5

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Love Song

Dancing in the moonlight
to the sound of the breeze
Flying in the heavens with your love as my wings.

Your softspoken words
 caress my heart, and mend what has been torn apart.
Your beautiful eyes holding mine won't let go
for in them I've found a hope.

Dancing on the shoreline
 to the sound of the waves
Walking on the waters
in your love I can be safe

Your softspoken words
 caress my heart, and mend what has been torn apart.
Your beautiful eyes holding mine, won't let go
for in them I've found a hope.

My Soul Longs for You

My soul longs for You
My soul longs for You
And nothing else will do
Nothing else will do
(Jesus Culture)

This is the song that comes from my heart
I sing with words and struggle for the right ones
But this is what it comes to
All of my cries
All of my struggles
All of my joys
All of my fears
All of my passion
Embraced in this phrase.

So many things are put into my mind
I lose count
More than my soul can bear
My mind gets lost
Ache sets in and my faith
disappears.

I realize over again
You are the best answer
You are the only answer
Nothing else will do
No nothing.
My heart has room for one thing;
You are the love
That sets me free.

Now I come into Your presence
Silent words pouring out from my mouth
All I can say is
"My soul longs for You"

What do I really believe?

This is a poem that I wrote out of my own feelings at present. It expresses what I think most of us go through in our walk with God. We feel trapped, and then we find freedom in God's grace. We get passionate and our outlook changes. But then something happens that brings us back to selfishness...to looking at our pain rather than His healing. I hope that this helps you to recognize something about your own faith...what do you believe about your God?


I feel like a wound festering under a bandaid.
I feel like a rain cloud, heavy and depressing.
I feel like a prisoner of war;
 the war is between my heart and my mind.

It's time to end this war.
Time to set the record straight.
No more nestling into the lies
that I tell myself.
I have found comfort in the consistancy of pain
and self-pity.

But no more.
I am not without escape;
The cell door is open wide.
My rescue has come and extends His hand.
Now I must take it...
Yes! Yes I will follow You!
You make my heart feel alive.
You turn my walking into dancing.
My smile shines when I think of You.
You make me see beyond myself.
Together, we will take the nations for Your Kingdom!
You are my King!!


But oh...this means I have to trust You.
Can I trust You?
You are not a man that You should lie.
But they all failed me, and You made them.
You are powerful...but not I am so weak!

I am all alone!
My issues are so big and so many..
How can I go on when my heart is broken??
There is no one who will ever be able to help me.
I am obviously not lovable enough for anyone to stay.
I have burried myself too deep.
I am just not good enough.


WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!



Oh Jesus.
What have I become? That I would think of You this way?
How can I be so angry?
I am sorry Lord. Please...oh please forgive Me!
You are not like them;
You are not weak like them.
You are not showing me kindness
Just to get something from me.
You really love me.
Right?
