You Can...

Bend so you can break.
Stretch so you can squeeze.
Bleed so you can heal.
Laugh so you can weep.

Love so you can hate.
Choke so you can speak.
Fall so you can walk.
Toil so you can play.

Remember so you can forget.
Hold your breath so you can breathe.
Empty so you can overflow.
Cling tight so you can set free.

Submit so you can conquer.
Dream so you can have.
Follow so you can lead.
Fly so you can land.

Die so you can live.
Doubt so you can prove.
Stop so you can go.
Win so you can lose.

Fear so you can live confidently.
Capture so you can release.
Wander so you can go home.
Compromise so you can

Stand so you can jump.
Plant so you can weed.
Open so you can close.
Listen so you can see.

Learn so you can teach.
Teach so you can learn.
Hide so you can seek.
Wake so you can sleep.

After so long I finally have something worth writing about...

Sing me a song     
Of memories to come
When promises
become more than a dream

Paint me a masterpiece
of that time suspended moment
When by love's virgin kiss
two pure hearts were bound together

Write me a poem
of years spent
When love was true
an all consuming fire

Tell me a story
of eternity forever
When with out dying breath
another promise is fulfilled

Its been a while...

Many tounges, troubles tell

Many eyes, tears held

Many hands, folded tight

Many hearts, defeated fight

 

His tounge, answers all

His eyes, watch in awe

His hands, tears dry

His heart, victory buys

____________________________

I wrote this poem this summer during a prayer meeting I visited while teaching a Bible club. Seeing all the church people pray to God was really moving.

Beauty

Lord, I am beautiful.

You told me so tonight.

Snuggled up beside me

and whispered in my ear.

 

I couldn’t quite believe you.

My reflection disagreed.

I tried to pull away

yet you beckoned me.

 

You said I’m captivating

and nothing can compare

to the beauty of my heart

that came from suffering.

 

The seed of suffering

was planted long ago.

It grew into my heart, you said

and made an empty hole.

 

A hole is nothing lovely.

I’m ugly deep inside.

Still you call me beautiful

and call me to your side.

 

The hole was meant for love,

You said, gazing back at me.

Love that comes from me alone

that cultivates true beauty.

 

Now I understand I’m beautiful.

You created me that way.

Beauty comes from God alone.

Beauty is not seen.

______________________________________

God has been teaching me a great deal about love, marriage and what it means to be a woman created by Him. Women have a desire to be loved and to be beautiful. Yet God made it so that no man (even a woman's husband) could fill that need.  I'm not saying husbands cannot make their wives happy so they should give up. I am saying God is the only one who can COMPLETLY fill a woman's heart. The desire to be found lovely and to be loved is designed by God to bring women back to God. Husbands complement , God completes. This is a hard concept to explain in text.. but I think I've covered the jest of it. ~Rachel

...

Things are changing,

rearranging,

making room for you.

 

You are yearning,

discerning,

coming near to truth.

 

Truth is kneeling,

revealing,

moving trust to youth.

 

Youth are waiting,

creating,

feelings that are new.

 

News is coming,

proclaiming,

crying out proof.

 

Proof is aiding,

persuading,

trading doubts for you.
