Peace in Him
Too much noise
Too much noise
The music blaring
The voices raised
The tones shrilling
The tension thick
All this noise just makes me sick!
I just want peace
I just want calm
Will it cease?
I’m held in His palm
He lifts me up
Above the storm
I cling to Him
He is the norm
I bury my face in His strong arm
When I’m with Him there is no harm
When the tumult and chaos seem to win
I know that I can find peace in Him
When Dreams Shatter
Dreams can seem like mirrors at times.
You see yourself in them.
They are fragile.
Dreams can shatter.
The important thing to remember is that you are not your dream.
Wouldn’t it be ridiculous if everytime a mirror shattered a person shattered with it?
Dreams like mirrors can be pieced back together.
The dream may not look the same, but don’t just trash it all together.
Give Him all the pieces of your dreams, your heart, and your life.

Fear
Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond
measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves,
who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented, and fabulous? Actually,
who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve
the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t
feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within
us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated
from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
– Marianne Williamson
Courage is not without fear; it is the conquering of that fear.
Success cannot be known without risking failure, but it is never achieved if fear is allowed to prevail.
Failure
Is a failure the one that fails?
In a sense… Yes.
A failure is one that fails, but only if they allow that failure to define them and don’t overcome it.
Those that persevere and don’t give up will see their wildest dreams imagined.
