Stillness
With a small voice you are calling
Soft, like to a robin at sunrise
who tells us of moons falling
and of the suns reprise
Gentle, we speak
of Love and Grace
of beauty crowning
of my mistakes
Silence I wait to hear your voice again
Knowing its the only thing that will satisfy
this stillness inside
Desires
I long to write with elegant words,
ones that move the soul,
that make mountains tremble
I long to draw with colors unimaginable,
Or dance with grace and style.
The desires of my heart are simple:
I long to make God smile.
It makes me uneasy sharing poems with everyone. They really truly just come out of me sometimes and it is hard to share things sometime so raw. But they are so much a part of me sometimes that it is a shame not to share them.

Decisions
So I wasn't really sure if I wanted to get too much into blogging. Hence the large gap between the first post till now. I have recently realized that it is much better for me to write...to get my thoughts out and share. So I have decided to jump head first.
I have been praying a lot about the direction my life should take for the next couple years. I am at a point where I could do anything. But with the job market currently flooded with people that doesn't leave the world like an oyster for me.
Thus I have decided to go back to school get my masters in Pastoral Counseling. And to take a supervisor position at my current place of employment. It will be a big commitment but I will be able to pay for school. Yes it is the responsible choice but I fell like I don't have much of a choice with the current economy. Two years really isn't that long...right? Hopefully I will be able to travel to my hearts content after the responsible season of my life is over... I do have trouble being tied down for too long.
"Simple Dreams"
You're always close enough to touch,
buy never quite close enough to hold
and its enough to break your heart.
When you chase a dream you learn about yourself.
What do you want to learn?

About the Name
A Beloved's Sojourn
"Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in Him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between his shoulders."
Deuteronomy 33:12
In my life I have only survived on the Love of Christ, which is why I call myself God's beloved. It has been something that He has shown me time and time again, just how much He loves me. I know that he feels this way about others as well. For me to share this with the world, was not a personal decision but more a prompting from God.
A sojourn is the reality of all our lives, that we are only here temporarily. A short stay before our eternity. This challenges me in life what am I going to do with today, because we are not promised tomorrow.
