Questions


most of the time I’m ok

then bang it hits me

and I wonder

am I really?


most of the time I’m ok

and then bang it hits me

and I wonder

is it really worth loving?


most of the time I’m ok

and then bang it hits me

and I wonder

why am I here?


most of the time I’m ok 

and then bang, it hits me

and I wonder

who am I?


am I really ok?

is it really worth loving?

why am I here?

who am I?


sometimes they come all at once

and I am left wondering

gasping, speechless

aching for more


slowly I’m seeing

that with life comes uncertainty

with uncertainty come questions

questions always have answers


slowly I’m discovering

that with life there comes a longing

a longing for more than what we see

longings that will be fulfilled


questions find their answer

uncertainty is replaced with hope

longings are fulfilled

only in Christ


earth will never fulfill me

Heaven will always give me hope

people will leave me aching

Christ will never let me down

I've been trying to figure out my writing style and have been coming up blank. I have no idea what my style is. It's weird. I'm not big on essay things. I love poetry but yet most of my stuff doesn't rhyme and is lacking in rhythm. . .  So I've decided that my writing style is half way between poetry and prose. A style as unique as I am. :) Like every artist and photographer has their own style of painting/photographing and seeing life every writer has their own writing style. Least that's what I've been discovering. And just in case anyone was wondering, I think photography and writing are every much as artistic as painting and sculpting. You have to be every bit as creative when you shoot a picture or write.  That's what I love about them. :) God may not have giving me anything as far as drawing and painting goes but he handed me a camera and a pen. So I shoot, and I write. :) That's my art.

And just like he handed me a camera and a pen, he handed you some pretty special gifts too. He loves to see you use them. He delights in it. He rejoices of your uniqueness with singing. Now I don't know about you but I find that REALLY cool. We don't have to fit in or have the same talents as everyone else. We were born to be different. And in our diversity, we find new things about God. Which I also find REALLY cool.

So, do a little happy dance. God made you to be you. Every little thing about you is there for a reason. Right down to the freckles on your face. (if you have some that is) It makes Him dance, it should you too. :)

{and sometimes the questions that always have answers seem to have those answers so long in coming...but be patient, wait...trust God...He will perform it! what bliss is that!?}

I'm so grateful that God gave me a camera and pen as well. In my capturing beauty and spelling out grace He allows me to see more of Himself and I realize that my existence is in the hands of a marvelously loving God.

I love it that God made me to be me. =)

Thanks for the encouragement, friend. You bless my heart. =)
