Holy Spirit Inspired

|
This page is dedicated to our Lord Jesus Christ, as His
Holy Spirit speaks to my heart and becomes the author of these poems and
thoughts.
I believe all that have a personal relationship with Jesus
have an awesome opportunity to take the time to listen to God as He speaks to us
through His Holy Spirit that resides in each believer. This is not to say that
He speaks to me audibly, but to my heart and in my thoughts. He inspires
me to share my heart with you.
I hope you enjoy these writings, but most of all that all
praise and honor be given to my Sovereign God, the creator of all.
Christ servant

This Season of Life
Seasons, yes they come and
they go.
Some hang on and don't let go,
Like winter time and all it's snow.
Yet as the seasons turn
from hot to cold,
There are seasons in life from young to old.
We wonder where the time all went,
As half our life is nearly spent.
And did we leave our family
With thoughts of love and sweet memories?
Did we live our life as Jesus would,
Or did we just say, wish I could.
I pray we showed integrity
And left a worthy legacy,
That honors God in every way,
This is my prayer I often pray.
This season now is tough
for me.
Mom and Dad are not quite what they use to be.
Much older now, can't move real well.
The Golden Years?--that's a real hard sell.
With Mother in a nursing
home,
Each day's a challenge on it's own.
Yet God has brought them here to stay,
With family visits most every day.
To say I love you with a warm hug,
And remind them of God' Eternal Love.
This season of life it to
is good,
For God keeps His promises
Like He said He would.

Life's Journey
When your time of need does come,
and your life just seems undone,
When your schedule goes a rye,
and you need to react on the fly,
When it seems there's no one there,
to help you or really care,
When you have no answers to explore,
just more questions to endure,
When it seems you have no control,
all is on a downward roll,
Remember how our Savior dealt,
with all that was done and how He felt,
He went to His Father and sought His will,
and knew the Scripture He would fulfill.
So don't be weary and do not fear,
our Lord Jesus is right here!
So take life's journey as it comes,
grow your faith till it becomes,
So powerful a motivator,
then you'll be one with the Creator!

Danger is Near
So I start another day,
Little sleep, not much pay
My time planned out ahead
I have no choice
From what I've read.
The schedule is very clear you see,
There's certain tasks
That keep us free.
I'm not at home with family
I'm with my friends
and they with me.
As I approach this crossing here
I know there's danger very near.
Behind every building,
Near every tree
the enemy is there
Waiting for me.
Yet comfort exists
in my head and my heart,
That Jesus will guide
every step, direct every part.
As I walk through
This life and the one beyond,
Each field that I pass
And across every pond.
I'm a soldier you see
And I stand for what's right.
I fight for your freedom
All day and at night.
I do it with honor though danger is near,
My God my Lord Jesus
say's do not fear.
One day this will end
No sorrow, no sin.
I'll look back at life
And see where I've been.
It will all make sense
Now that I'm here,
With family and friends
And nothing to fear.
So please pray for me brothers
all that are home.
He hears all your prayers
The One on the throne.
And Don't forget the warriors,
my fighting brothers,
As we start out each day
To fight and free others.

Lets Rap!
So here it is another day
My mind it says "it's time to play."
But lets get real, with my first cup
Reality hits, it's time to get up.
Go to work that is, no time to play
Gotta work that job so I can pay
Those bills are due, can't hit the hay
So off I go doing what I can
Knowing I'm not alone, but with the Man
Jesus is who I'm talking about
Who loves me, so no time to pout
He's gifted me so I do well
Yeah, that's right, I got a story to tell
So you do the same, put a smile on your face
Just rap with Jesus and live in His grace!
