For Such a Time as This

-

“For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your fathers family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14
            Esther’s story is one of faith and courage. She was taken from the only home she knew along with other girls her age and was taken to the palace of King Xerxes against her will. But the King saw something in her that he did not see in the others. He found favor in Esther and soon she took Queen Vashti’s place as queen.
God placed Esther in the right place at the right time. God’s purpose for her life was more than just being queen; it was to save her people. So I ask you what is God’s purpose for your life? What is that dream he has placed in your heart, the one you cannot stop thinking about? I encourage you to step out and begin your journey, the next chapter of your life that God has destined for you. You may be fearful and that what he has called you to do is too big. But nothing is too big for God. Trust in him. Let him work through you. We are all born for such a time as this.
For such a time as this,
we are born
our dream, that desire,
that burning passion,
that God given dream.
We sit, we wait
possibly waiting for that right moment
only when that moment
is now.
So step out
take that leap of faith,
leaving all fear
behind.
Be that light in the darkness,
that flower in the desert,
trusting in the one who made
you to guide your every step.
For such a time as this,
we are born.

How Beautiful Is The World

     On a warm and windy day, Ella was sitting up against an old oak tree when suddenly, the leaves began to rustle above her and a dove landed  into a pile of leaves next to her.      “That was quit a landing,” he said as he got up, shaked his head and brushed away the leaves with his wings. Ella grinned, trying not to laugh.   She reached out her hand to stroke the dove on its head.      “Would you like to hear a story about God’s beautiful world,” he asked. “Yes,” said Ella.      The dove extended  his wing, Pointing. “See the butterflies, the birds soaring amongst the clouds.” “See the sun as it shines light upon the world. “How beautiful is the world.”      “Can you hear the wind whistle through the trees? “Watch as their leaves dance with the wind.”      “Can you hear the cricket’s melody, the frogs croaking as they keep up with the beat?”      “See the ripples in the stream, the fish swimming beneath. Watch as they ju

Breathe

Breathe As a mighty wind   Upon me Let it calm   my soul, sooth   my aching heart. Like rain   are my   tears.   They flow as   of a rushing   river. Stopping only for a spilt   second. Stop the rain   O’ Lord I pray Let it pass so   the sun will shine   in the morn. Let there be a   new song upon my heart   so that I may sing   unto you.

Untitled Prose

-
This is a little prose I stumbled across today that I had intended to be part of a much larger work.  My thoughts wander to every moment of my life. It is like flipping through a photo album, yet each photo takes on a life of its own. They’re a wormhole, sucking me in with nothing to grasp on to, so I have no choice but to endure the ride. Now as I travel back to reality, I find myself sitting back at my desk with a pen in my hand. I tap the pen onto the paper, hoping it will spark some inspiration, but still the words remain hidden. They’re somewhere in my jumbled mind, behind a door with no key. Frustration is my worst enemy. The words won’t escape from their prison to roam free on the page. A part of me wants to toss it aside, to keep my words imprisoned. But another part of me knows that this is the work of the one who is set to destroy and letting him win is not an option. My heart needs to spill out onto the page.   I pace my dimly lit room, letti
