Closed Pockets

Pockets are closed
for this young girl.
She sees the stars now
she's running free.

No longer under constant perjury.
Her shackles have been cut
She soars to the sky.
No one to define her
but herself.

Pockets are closed.
for this young girl.
She flies high above
painting, writing, singing words of sweet solace.
A creative mind in a serious planet.

Pockets are closed.
Time to move on.
To believe.
To think.
To ponder.

Pockets are closed.

Sleepless Nights in Country House

Sleepless nights
in a country house
no parties here
for the country mouse.

sleepless nights
in her virtual cafe.
chained to her phone
till the break of day.
Chat. Chat. Chat.

What does this accomplish?
They all pass on.
Why should she even look.
Even talk.
Wasted time.
Wasted thought.

You Are Special - Max Lucado

If you Catch it Don't Let it Shatter

My heart beats
in rhythm with yours
you breath in
I breath out
You walk down the street
I walk down the road
You work in the office
I work on a farm.

During the holidays
we both watch
with grateful eyes
at our sister's
with their families.

We pray for families
of our own someday.
Will we be so lucky?

My heart falls easy,
so if you catch it,
don't let it shatter.

When No One has Faith in you but Yourself

"When you go through deep waters I will be with you" Isaiah 4:32

This is a good scripture quote to keep in mind when facing challenges in life. When no one believes in you but yourself. Self-confidence is a very hard thing to capture and let out to others. To accomplish great things you must believe you can. With the help of our good Lord and perseverance you can do anything you set your mind to.

Here is a video to help you with self-confidence

Battle for life #Prolifemovement

Who wins?.. Love obviously.

A game always has a winner. The pride of the game, the one who scores the greatest amount of points. I have heard many people say that life is like a game. And in some respect they're right, however, I somewhat beg to differ.
Mother Teresa says, "Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love." 
This has been such a revelation in my life. Life is what you make it. Everything has a reaction. If you feed yourself junk food you're going to get fat, likewise, if you don't attend church your faith life will be lacking. If you persist day in and day out in love then you will find happiness. Not greatness but happiness. Love conquers all.

When Storms Pass

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning how to dance in the rain."

-Vivian Green 

        This quote is such a good reflection on how we should be satisfied with what we are given and make do with what we have. The storm refers to all the troubles and strife we are dealt in life. So, if you dwell on, "when the storm is going to pass", and what you can do in the future, then you miss the best part of the storm.... dancing in the rain. Stop, smell the roses and enjoy life! 

You Don't Have to be Ordinary

                   You don't have to be ordinary but you have to be something. Everyone has their own calling card or something that differentiates them from the crowd. Growing up each one of us should strive to become a better person through our vocation, faith, and relationships. Religion is itself an intelligible and rational thing and is a key prospect in your identity. If you are diligent in your religion then you are capable of being. Have faith be strong and perservere!

Have Hope Through Deep Waters

Smoothing Out Misunderstandings

               Coffee is a unifying drink. Often, people meet their friends and aquaintances at coffee shops. Coffee shops are the places for dates, business meetings, family gatherings and other social events. Unifying friends and families with rich layers of froth and smooth whipped cream. Smoothing out past misunderstandings.

When One Door Closes Another Opens

                      In life we have struggles and depression: insanity and deliverance. As if many doors were opening and closing to introduce and dismiss new things into our lives, including: jobs, relationships and opportunities. When the world seems against you all the doors have been shut abruptly in your face, have hope for its here, in our most needy and vulnerable state that a new change occurs when least expected. Sometimes the doors are shut, but with patience and trust in God's goodness the door will be opened in the most unexpected manner.
9“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Anecdote of Spring

                A flower never looked so new and fresh on such a bitter cold morning. Its white petals sticking out paralyzed with the frozen grass. The apple is blushing a reddish-pink hue. Dried pine needles scatter across the earth carpeting what's left of the dried and broken grass. This is winter in the coldest month of January. Winter is a time of rest for country folk and for nature's bounty. Winter is silence, rest and family. A time when the earth is cold and barren. But, these flowers rest as small anecdotes of the sweet smell of spring's green hills flowing with bright dandelions and periwinkle clover.

A friend

My friend is caring, loving, maternal.
She is ready to listen to any of my little crazy adventures I've had.
My friend is a great listener,
teaches me the art of grappling
My friend is supportive of my endeavors
crazy for adventures
My friend speaks another language
listens to me as I fumble.
My friend is a sister confident and patient
Consoling with my thoughts, though she carries much baggage herself.
