Walking along the beaches.
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each, I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints; other times there was only one.
During the lowest times of my life I could see only one set of footprints, so I said, “Lord, you promised me, that you would walk with me always. Why, when I have needed you most, would you leave me?”
The Lord replied, “My precious child, I love you and would never leave you. The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
No mother I will not treat you right. Not while your drunk every night.
Grandmother.
My tears have now swollen my eyes, for the pain that burns in my stomach, and my heart starts to die. My makeup smears and I now confront my fears, and to give my hand out to you, for you to pull through.
But you know, happiness can be found even in the most darkest times. But if only one remembers to turn on the light.
What is a miracle?
A miracle is a single mother trying to sustain two jobs and still finding the time to take her son to soccer practice. That’s a miracle. Or a teenager saying no to drugs and choosing an education. People want god to do everything for them but what they don’t realize is that they have the power to be the miracle.
I know for a fact, I know for a reason.
I know he’s the reason I smile the brightest,
I know he’s the reason I choose to aim the highest.
I know for a fact that I am in love with him,
I know for a fact that I see it within.
I know for a reason i’ve gotten these feelings,
I know for a reason he has me believing.
I know for a fact that I can trust,
because he’s the one I want love with and not lust.
