Busy and Being


Busy

Every part of my life is busy

Running around makes me feel dizzy

Spare moments are a luxury

Will I have time for recovery


There are so many calls for my attention

I need some sort of energy extension

All the demands pull me in different ways

Truly sometimes, it leaves me in a daze


Where on earth can I find more space

 I can't keep up this frantic pace

No time for me, its intolerable

Finding quietness will be a miracle




Being

It's about creating an intentional time

Making it a priority of mine

Intentionally, find a regular place

Quiet, removed, away from the frantic pace


Each day commit this time to Father above

Be thankful to God for His constant love

Taking daily bitesize times each week

The heart of this time is to be still and not speak


It is a new rhythm and way of life

Our minds may wander but do not strive

Our Father will encourage you in this space

His heart is to meet you face to face


God's desire is to make us whole

Restoring and reviving our soul

His main passion for you and me 

Is desiring our company

    That has a rich thread of performance poetry in it Nick, love the feel of the rhythm and the call to stillness. You could really use it with percussion and gaps of stillness 😊
    Blessings

  Forgiveness Forgive and let go is what they say, Can past hurts wait until another day, This turnaround may not be quick, Words and wounds build walls that are thick Just saying I forgive, is so hard, Words don't  work when I'm scarred Try going deeper and process these things And then see what this new journey brings It starts with an intentional thought Changes in me that need to be sought Express your feelings as a start You can even try writing, movement or art Cry out for help to The Father above This will lead to a covering of love Loosen the grip around this hurt Be courageous and do not divert Holding on to hurt with a tight grip Only sees your inner peace slip Unforgiveness can only cause pain The choice to let go is what remains The injustice or hurt can feel so raw But starting to forgive opens a prison door  It’s hard to forgive and stay emotionally sound But don't be mistaken forgiveness can be found I forgive, is not just a word or two But an intentional cho

Breakthrough

Drowning in deep water brought on fear Now anxious thoughts appear I can't break free from these chains  Fear ambushes me again and again Trapped by strong emotions in my mind I'm tied up and walking along blind Fear causes me to be frozen in time Paralysed and fear sticks like grime I cannot break free from this cycle of fear I'm helpless to make it disappear its very real and part of my life Like being cut deeply with a knife I adapt and try to survive But this fear is buried alive It pops up in unexpected ways Hijacks thoughts and effects my days What can I do to escape this state I cannot leave it to fate Who can I turn to, to set me free I cannot see a solution in me The Psalmist writings of old Lays out the message of pure gold Cry for help to The Lord it says He will deliver you from all your fears  The Father above knows all things His perfect peace He will bring The fear will disperse and disappear  You will be set free and be clear Life will be open and be bright

Journeying Together

  Journeying together Walking along together let us see What will happen to you and me Choose to go beyond superficial chatter Open up to what really matters Open up with a friend It can bring a richer blend Trust is at the heart of this trail Let go the thought you may fail Its easy to stick with the status quo But why not learn to go deeper and grow This happens as we share our heart with a friend As they question, encourage and challenge Encourage and provoke with love Don't be timid but give a gentle shove Help them to go beyond the comfort zone Into a new place that is unknown  This unknown place, you may need to  go To Encourage your friend to go steady and slow Our Father above will help them discover He will protect them and provide cover Iron sharpens iron a hebrew quote Meaning love, encourage and provoke Deep connection is better than money True friendship is sweeter than honey
