A Change

I need a change,
like the wind changing direction
New seeds to be blown
New flowers to be grown
Like the cloud formations,
trying to show a story
Waiting for people to look up to see
To recognize what truly is,
and face the truth of reality
Why such denial?
Why hide from what is real?
How does anyone unite?
As facts are blown by the wind,
because people choose to ignore
and let them go somewhere else?
As if they were never real at all
All the while, people continue to suffer
Then others ask, why oh why?
When it all stems from a choice,
to close eyes and pretend, nothing is happening
When it is my friend....it is!

Sometimes, as I pray for healing and love, truth, and justice, I feel so concerned, why are things happening as they are. I know the book of Revelation doesn't put too much of a great light on the woes coming on the earth, but I know God will prevail as others said. He'll bring truth, justice and healing. He'll destroy those who destroy the earth. The gates of hell will not prevail against His children. Things are getting nutso so quickly, but chin up Heidi :) look up, redemption draws nigh! <3

A change is sure to come, God sees all and will bring relief at the right time, until then we pray for endurance and patience. I feel this one deeply Heidi!
