There Will Be Days Like These!

Reworked stanza from the Edgar Allen Poe poem ‘El Dorado’ Mark Schutter ©2016

Transparency
A moment of vulnerability my friends. I try really hard to be positive in my outlook on life. But every once in a while, yes every once in a while I fall and slip down into my own darkness. Lately, I have struggled with feelings of inadequacy and uncertainty. Hence, the poem above.

Life
This life on this side of the undiscovered, is not always easy. Things are thrown at us and we are left to deal with it. And sometimes we deal, or cope, better than others. We fall and struggle to get back up. It is then that we must persevere.

Grace
We must extend grace to ourselves as we hopefully would to others when they fall. We are all in this together, right? I encourage you, as I will do, to just believe that grace wins and hope lives. Even and especially in those dark and troubled times of life.

What do you think?

God in the Storm

Posted on by
Let the winds blow harder,
Let the rain fall faster,
Let the lightning slice the darkness,
And let the thunder crash the silence.
In the chaos and fury.
In the sound and passion.
In the strength and tempest.
Let yourself feel the power,
Let yourself hear my voice,
Let yourself know in the midst,
And let yourself believe that I am,
God in the storm.

When this life has you overwhelmed, and all seems lost; remember that you do matter, and it is then that you must:

1 – Continue to believe
2 – Be strong
3 – Do what needs to be done

The Spirit of the living God for whom all things are possible lives inside of you!

Your Heart is Enough!

You were created for great things. Now repeat after me,

“I am enough, I am enough, I am enough.”

Now go out and chase your passions, follow your dreams, seek your place in the world. Your heart is enough and you just might change the world. For if you make a difference and touch one persons life,  you just might touch the whole world. Who knows?
