Tragic

Its so sad to wake up almost every morning nowadays and read about another shooting, another terrorist attack, and another life needlessly taken. Where is the love?!?! Love thy neighbor as thyself!!! We spend so much time worrying about OUR agenda and OUR pride and OUR hate that we forget to love someone else for who they are, whether we agree with them or not! Having differing opinions is fine! If we all just agreed on everything then how boring and meaningless would that be? We can disagree without shooting each other. We can Love each other without nasty tweets and racist slurs. A person is a person is a person. I am trying (and would encourage you as well) to adopt the "hate the sin not the sinner" mentality (or the "hate what made them this way, not they who are this way") We are supposed to be a lighthouse for those lost souls. Instead, most of us just kick them further down the rabbit hole...

WAR ROOM MOVIE YALLLLLL

If you haven't seen the movie, "War Room"... YOU NEED TO WATCH IT!!! lol It really shows God's glory (even if the movie is fiction...) You can truly find God anywhere! He gives us the strength to carry on.

We and the Trees

We and the trees are alike, don't you agree? 

We and the trees grow, 

Sway in the breeze

We both have our roots, 

We and the trees.

Do we not too fear the winter?

Don't we and the trees?

Fear that the cold will expose our branches for all people to see?

Others seem evergreen whilst we shiver in the cold winter breeze. 

Without leaves to protect us from their gaze, both we and the trees.

We stand together, as a forest, we and the trees, 

barren for all to see 

stuck out here in the cold winter breeze, 

we and the trees!

Exposed, we, as the forest, stand together  in the cold winter breeze. 

We, who await the promise of spring. 

Hopeful that it's warmth will bring back the cover of leaves, for both we and the trees.
