Romans 8:28

And now we know

All things work together for good

To them that love God

And are called according to his purpose

I love feeling that I have a special purpose

Beach

Beaming sunlight prickling my skin

Looking out to the horizon

Wind blowing through my hair 

Feeling peace in the air

Challenge
The Neverending...Y'know... now THIS one is really a continuation/chain challenge. I shall start the story and then tag the next person to continue. That person will then post the previous writer's lines along with their own and tag the next person (don't forget to tag me as well!) hashtag #OnAndOn

it leaves it's residue

against sagging soggy eyes

and pours like hurricane

even when the weather's fine

Finally dry eyes but only due

To having no tears left to cry

Still the sadness lingers like fog

On a day with a clear sky

Challenge
What does worry feel like? Poetry or prose. Make it as honest, brutal, and painful as the truth.

A Version of Fear

The fear that you will fail

The fear of rejection

The fear of leaping over the rail

Into unknown land

Afraid that when the ship sails

You'll wish you had

Vulnerability

Keeps us afraid of the result

Worry brings us to a halt

Making a decision?

Thoughtfully considered

Mistakes crushing our ambition

Over-analyzed?

Of course it is

Faith keeps you alive

Living and not just existing

Hoping it works out

Getting rid of all doubt

And in the end we say

"I don't know what I was so worried about,"

Challenge

That Depends

The side of me you'll see?

That depends on who I see you to be.

Loosen Up

Why so serious?

Most memories are made from laughter

Why so serious?

Keep a smile plastered in the face of disaster 

Why so serious?

Life was meant for fun 

Why so serious?

On your list of aspirations a good life should always be number one 

Challenge

The Heart’s Happiness Flower

In the seasons of cold the flower is hidden

In the seasons of rain the flower grows 

In the seasons of sun the flower blooms

The flower is strengthened 

The flower truly comes alive

The flower shines bright among the grass 

The flowers within are controlled by the seasons of our minds and hearts 

The happiness stems from the heart 

Only in the season of sunshine can true happiness bloom
