Of Frost and Faith

There's always just a little fear in the frost
Changes come and who knows
I could be one of them
Thing is - you never know
Who is thinking
Plotting
Determining your destiny

One thing's for certain, though
I serve one a million times more
Significant
And His will
Will be done
Ultimately

So, I feel the fear
And take a step in
Forward motion

Realization of the moment...
Bravery is not absence of fear

It is instead placing a hand into
The leading hand of my Saviour and
Walking on the water with Him
Past the storm
Beyond the shores of limitation

A dawn beyond my comprehension
Born of letting go
While clinging to My Creator's promise to
Love Protect And Raise me up

His glory is beyond all my understanding.

twenty one degrees and christmas

twenty one degrees and
four hundred seventy three
homeless schoolkids in my town
hanging 'round to sleep in cars
if they are lucky enough to have one

retail's looking up
we have our gifts
we have our heaters cranked
and blowing smoke
past egos to
disquised posteriors

inner peace in hues of visa
trees lit
songs sung
reason for the season
shouted to combat
the "war on Christmas"

still it's twenty one degrees
and four hundred seventy three schoolkids
are homeless in my town.
