Hello Thomas:

I first want to say A Wonderful, Blessed and powerful New Years to you and all.

Also, thanks so much for this "powerful" message. It is just what I needed to hear to begin this brand, new year. I have been in contemplation mode since New Year's eve, when I was awakened to write 3 new pieces of poetry. I share one below with you. After a very trying old year, these are the words of my soul.

Blessings,

Elaine De Rosier

LET'S BEGIN AGAIN!

What is life all about anyways?

We step over one hurdle

To again face another

We learn lessons

Only to be

Challenged with more

We sometimes ask why

Only to be met

With quiet resistance

And even silence

We just need to be still

And patiently wait

The answers will come

And with God's GRACE go I

Rising above the storms

Soaring like an eagle

Lighter and stronger

To greet and embrace

A BRIGHTER YEAR, WAY!

 

Elaine my dear friend, so nice of you to post, its been awhile and it looks like your doing well by that awesome poem, by the way Your Welcome! Looking foreword to hearing from you more often. Happy New Year to you. God_bless you and your family :) Enjoy the weekend!!

Thank you Thomas, When I used to read bible stories, I would sometimes wonder how in the world people could "put up" with such terrible conditions for such long, long periods of time, seeing no resolution in sight-but keep on praying anyway.

My grandma used to tell me if you live long enough your questions will get answers.
I certainly have learned a lot in the last few years as I have watched my priorities change, the things I thought I wanted or needed change, the very act of survival rearranging the order of things before my eyes.

God has a way of whispering, then talking to us a little louder and finally shouting to get your attention.
Thank you for being one of his whisperers.

Thank you Joyce, im also often called a messenger lol among other things, when we think of things that we cant do and others can? its not because were so cluttered with things in our lives to make it a priority- its because its not what God wants from us at that time to do, we have to work through it as God wants us to do- all the time. All your answeres will be answered in due time and only when God wants you to know, we all have lots in life for each of us are wonderfully made differently than the other, in thought and in mind. Gratitude and Prayer to Him and Him alone will unveil those answerers. Your in my prayers Joyce. life isn't just for surviving from day to day it is meant to enjoy what you have that God has given you, don't settle for small things nor small tasks on a daily bases but set your mind on what lies ahead with a bigger picture. When God wants attention he surely gets it lol, natural disasters and blocked pathways, theres alot of people who still ignore the Truth so its obvious why. God_bless you Joyce and thanks for the feedback, it helps me too!
