Psalm 23   for Monday's poetry collection   1.  The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want.   2.He maketh me lie down in green pastures for His name's sake.  He leadeth me beside still waters.  3. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.   4.  Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death I will fear no evil; for thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff the comfort me.    5.  Thou preparest a table before me in the presences of mine enemies; thou anoinest my head with oil, my cup runneth over.    6.  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.   The sections highlighted help me get through the not so good times. This Scripture always paints a picture of peace. It reminds me that it will be worth it all one day, helps a person have hope.     However, God is not the author of confusion, He is our helper so we must keep our focus o

Every Monday I will try to be posting a motivational poem.  It will either be one that I have written or one that really inspires me. The first one will be by Robert Frost, one of my favorite authors.     It tells about life and the roads that people take.  It is one of my favorite because of the way that Frost compares a long weary road to life.  It tells how life is up to us and the goals we set for ourselves should be attainable.  "The Road Not Taken," is told by the weary traveler in the poem and that is my favorite part in the poem itself.  He tells of how his dreams were unreachable because he chose to take the road less traveled.  Well, it really does not say that in the poem, but it leads you to believe that the traveler felt lonesome and friendless because he made the wrong choice at first and the decided to take the right path even though it was more difficult.  This poem is has always been one of my favorites and always will be.

   It is finally Friday again.  The Weekend is the time that people tend to free their minds of clutter.  It is a time for  family and relaxation.  Everyone needs to clear their minds every their minds  once in a while.  Everyone needs their eight hours of sleep, a time just for themselves.  A time to escape from their day to day routines.  The Bible says in Genesis that even God rested on the seventh day.  It is true that  our bodies need rest and a time by ourselves. We often times find things to worry about if we do not take a " time out" one in a while.      God knew that before we existed and made provisions so we need to take advantage of it. However, that does not mean to push our oxens in the ditch. Sometimes we make excuses not to be a servant.  Granted it is difficult at times, but then again, anything we do takes some effort on our part.  God knew that as well. He knew that there would be things that we could not accomplish on our own and that is why He creat

Did you ever feel like you were stuck? It is very, very, easy to get stuck sometimes.  It is what ya do to get out of that rut.  That is what matters.  My rut lately is reading my Bible.  I get bored easily. However, I haven been doing some journaling lately and that has helped.  I do not know how you feel about drawing in your Bible, but it has helped me stay focused on reading the material inside.  It gives my mind an illustration of the story that was meant to be told.    I used to not be fond of even writing in the margins of my Bible, but in the Facebook journaling groups some ladies have drawn remarkable illustrations in their Bibles.  They have inspired me to do the same in my Bible and it has helped me.  I love my Bible and do not ever want to just put it down and stop reading it.  It took me a while to even understand the Bible so I know how difficult it is to just sit down and read.  I have also tried those audio Bibles and they have helped as well.  However, there is someth
