"Why seak the counsel of a stranger, when you can receive the HIGHEST counsel of a Savior, who knows what you need more than the stranger"

My Own Personal Psalms Of Truth
Oh God Your word is clear and true.
Your ways oh Lord are magnificent in the end,
but the fight to understand them along the way deepens my faith and trust in You.
Your love oh God is of one who has never known my faults.
My walk with You changes me and molds me to be like You.
I read in Your word that You love the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
I know this to be true oh God.
For when my heart was broken You loved me.
When my spirit was crushed and saw no hope in the future You saved me!
You’ve taught me to be strong, courageous, and not to be terrified or discouraged during the most hurtful times of my life.
For You were there beside me when my tears were falling and my arms bleeding wanting to help, but I pushed You away when I should have reached out to Your hand oh God!
Then I couldn’t hear You over all the voices in my head!
But now I’m reaching arms wide open to You God.
For Your ways are higher than mine, for You are all knowing, and all powerful.
You have been here, for there is nothing new under the sun, moon, or stars that You have not already seen or have gone through.
Oh Lord You give me hope in the darkness.
So once again I give You my life to guide and to control, for You will carry me through the rest of my days!

poetry
People around me say the church is full of
hypocrites,
but that’s just not the case.
The church is the body of Christ.
We all have our mistakes, our shame,
but without God
we would be nothing but filth and dirty rags.
The people who make that accusation,
are the people who see us when we are down
and in the valley.
Church is where we come back to the One of
forgiveness and hope.
People have got to remember that Christians are
not perfect,
but forgiven people who were just like the ones
who think that we are
hypocrites.
But God knows your heart and where you
stand.
You may be a hypocrite and leading people away
from the forgiving
God.
Then again, there are the ones who try to be that
witness and show the
truth!
I want to be that witness.
God forgive me,
and those who try to be that witness but
fall.
Let us leave that legacy that You -the God of all - are
REAL!!!
