Glory in Him: May 2013

Hello Again :-)

It has been an incredibly long time since I've been on my blog. I've been itching to write, but somehow something else always takes my attention from it. As of late, my friend Vicki from http://victoriagaines.com/ has been posting some incredible quotes that just stir me up to write. And, can possibly be showing me some of the reasons I haven't written.

Some reasons: Fear of being transparent. What will people think if I write that? Will I be exposed? And so many other fears...Wanting the writing to be just perfect instead of writing from the heart. I remember reading in one of Vicki's posts something to the effect about thinking of writing something and actually writing it in my mind, but never putting it in print - ha! I do that all the time. I can come up with a story from one end to the next. I'll think, "I should put this on my blog. Okay, later...when I get a chance...in a bit...tomorrow...to finally end with why bother..." But the itch to write has never disappeared It comes back time and again. Then there's FB that has satisfied a bit of that itch. However, I still come back to wanting to write in a more story like, thorough manner. Not just a thought or tidbit or whatever. So I will attempt to embark on this journey of writing once again...

We will see where this takes us...so pull up a chair, let's us reacquaint ourselves and see where it takes us.

Poems

It’s sometimes very difficult for us to understand the wisdom and the love behind the things that God has planned.

But we wouldn’t have the rainbow if we didn’t have the rain; We wouldn’t know the pleasure if we never tasted pain.

We wouldn’t love the sunrise if we hadn’t felt the night; And we wouldn’t know our weakness if we hadn’t sensed God’s might.

We couldn’t have the springtime or the yellow daffodil if we hadn’t experienced the winter’s frosty chill.

And though the brilliant sunshine is something God has made. He knew too much could parch our souls so He created shade.

So God’s given us a balance: enough joys to keep us glad, enough tears to keep us humble, enough good to balance bad.

And if you’ll trust in Him you’ll see though yesterday brought sorrow, the clouds will part and dawn will bring a happier tomorrow.

"THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW"
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
