inspired by verses:
Matthew 10:26 -
Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be
revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

2 Corinthians 4:7-11
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing
power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not
crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck
down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of
Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who
are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life
may be revealed in our mortal body.

WHERE FROZEN EMBERS STILL BURN When will periwinkle dreams entwine with my lifesong? deadly winter has blanket me? [Long, ah! so long...] Has bloody ferns swirl then froze me as falling snow for acrid critiques cold cloud? [T'was wrong, Oh so wrong...] Doubts and worries weaken my weary feet but teeming catalysts from a compassionate God activate talent embers, once frozen to heat-- telling: "TRUST, GO AND START!", an alarm from above. Bearing a faith anew, I spread my wings to fly; walking even over blitz agonizing talk for ply. Cracking myself from iceberg of fears-- twining myself to God's glory, a clear dear! Braiding faith and hardwork in cornerstone steel, spirits shoot hope that guards, a powerful feel. Unfolding gifts from long frozen hearts to burn, now mightily restored with heaven's love way turn... (c) 10:16am August 22, 2014

Dear Olive, This is an amazing poem that goes so well with the biblical verses. Don't let those fears invade your dreams. Too often we are consumed by petty worries. I especially enjoyed the line "Cracking myself from iceberg of fears." It does seem to take an ice pick to rid ourselves of depression. Love, Carolyn
