Fear grows out of the things we think.
Fear lives in our minds.
Fear keeps us from making the journey.
Fear can control us if we let it.
So we should be mindful to the messages of fear, they are not always true.
It is hard to keep an open mind, especially when fear is shouting it's messages.
So being in recovery is the movement from the darkness of fear, back into the
light.
At first, the light may scare us.
We just need to keep walking and grab someone hand.
We are not alone anymore.
So when fear knocks, faith answers; there is no one here...
This is one of my newest poem. I hope you like it.

We are a match made in Heaven by The Good Lord up above.
It's so right when we're together, we're a portrait of true love.
I keep you here inside my thought,s each and every day.
Before I go to sleep each night, for you my love, I pray.
I think of all my times with you, not just that spent in pleasure,
The Good, The Bad,and The in-between, every second is a Treasure.
I know everyone enjoys the good, they make us all feel happy.
Maybe I'm strange for saying this,"I even like the crappy."
Those troubled times in which we thought we couldn't make it through.
The fact we did shows you were made for me, and I was made for you.
You know we share a kind of Love that through all things
we will make it together, because we're a
Match Made in Heaven.

There are days that I just don’t know how I feel.
My head is having a war in it.
My heart is saying what the Lord is telling me.
He says, “stay where I tell you for now, you are not ready yet”.
Tears can run down my face just like rain.
Even though He loves to see my beautiful smile.
Please don’t be upset when you see me having a short moment of tears.
Just know that God is helping me to wash my heart, so that He can heal me
today.
I am here to learn that I don’t need to run from my feelings.
There are tools to help me survive this journey and stay sober in the process.
All I need to do is seek God on a day to day basis.
He is deep down in each one of us.

The more you let down your
Guard,
Take off your mask,
And
Share your struggles.
The more God will be able
To use you in serving others.
God will use you wherever
You are,
However He can,
Whenever He wants.
If we believe in God with all
Of our heart and soul.
Then we have made the
First Step…

The Devil enter’s uninvited
When the house stands empty.
For other kinds of quests,
You have first to open the door.
The Devil tries to tempt us with
Things of the flesh and of
Mankind.
So what will you do when you are
Faced with the choice?
I hope you will do like I did
And cry out in a loud voice…
“Father, forgive me…
For all I have done!
I ask in Jesus name,”
My battles already won!
I will pray for those out
There who remains, because
When the dust clears.
I will be on the side
With the Winners.

The baby steps we can
Take everyday that will add
Up to a peaceful presence life and
Lives of others.
So go ahead. Take one step towards a more peaceful life, and then another, and
another.
Creating peace is not
About making sudden, big
Changes, but about the
many tiny changes…
And it starts with us, but watch out!
Once you start down this road to peace,
Life will never be the
Same…

Have you ever felt hopeless…ready to give up?
Maybe you’ve already given up…felt that there were no answers and that you
were simply trapped right where you sit.
I have felt this way too.
Well, according to the Word of God you don’t have to stay there.
I believe God is with me by faith.
Without God comes hopelessness in the world.
The Almighty God is filled with hope.
If you need hope ask God today.
If you are already a believer ask God to cast hopelessness away from you.
Stand on God’s Word, His promises to you, and let hope rise up within you.
With God all things are possible to him that believes!

From the moment you make your prayer of claming the promise of God, you
Never pray that prayer again.
You never ask God for it again.
You have made a clam by faith.
You don’t see the thing you prayed for yet in the physical realm.
It hasn’t yet been manifested to your senses.
You have it by Faith.
If you really believe that you have received your need or desire, there is no need
to ask for it again.
To pray again would be to pray in doubt, and God cannot respond to doubt.
He is a Faith God, and it is Faith that pleases Him, Not Doubt.

Read Mark 11:24
Have you ever felt that God was not there and if He was, He didn’t care about you?
I believe He is always with me by faith.
He always watches me to see how I am going to react when I don’t hear His
voice, that inner voice.
I talk to God knowing that He is listening, but not always responding right away.
That is okay, because sometimes I just need someone to listen to me.
My every word is important to Him.
God is listening to me as I speak to Him.
He might not respond in the time frame that I wish, but He will respond according
to His will.

Lady’s you are Beautiful !
God didn’t make you to constantly go on an emotional roller coaster ride.
Nor did God make you to be abused physically.
Remember, God doesn’t make any junk.
I know that you are scared to be alone, but you won’t be.
God is there. Cry Out ,”HELP!”
He wants to help you.
God will heal the scars and the pain that you have.
He will dry up all your tears.
If you think you are going out of your mind. Just keep your mind on Him and you
won’t be thinking that way anymore.
Then after a period of time, you will found peace that surpasses all
understanding.
Remember, with out God you are nothing.

Showing attention to someone else,
Friend or stranger, through something
As simple as a quiet smile, creates an inner joy.
We feel good every time we make a kind remark
rather than a mean-spirited one. Then the next kind remark comes even more
easily. Joy is never far behind.
There is really no better action we can take on a
Daily basis than doing one thing that will inspire
Joy in the heart of someone else.
One day at a time, we can think differently, act differently, feel differently, and help
others have a different experience.

Well, have you tried “Jesus”,
He’s quite alright, He’s all that and more His game is tight.
This man named Jesus goes from city to city and place to place,
Just to change hearts so they can win this race.
Jesus is so bad and better than great,
He’s the only one who can get you through Heaven’s gates.
This man named Jesus wants your mind, body, and soul,
In other words, He wants to take control.
He stays the same always and He never changes.
He will give you joy when sorrow is all around you.
So taste His sweetness,
He won’t let you down,
He will turn your frown upside DOWN.

Being one of the Lord’s Solder is not going to be easy.
There are a lot of battles you are going to go through.
The Devil will use your children, family, and Friend’s as a lie.
Like they can do with out you around, and you don’t need to work on yourself, you
are fine.
You must know it is a lie.
Yes, they need you just not right now, because you need to work on yourself first
and follow the Lord.
The Devil is not gone all the time he is right behind you and He may some of the
time get right in front of you and challenges you.
So when the Devil tries to talk to you, know that God speaks louder and listens
too.
Anytime, ask God to help you and put the Devil under your feet,
Where He belongs…

You know what happens tomorrow
Depends on what you do today.
So watch the things that you do,
And watch the things you say.
God has blessed your life,
With so many beautiful things:
Sunshine, love, and laughter;
And joy that friends can bring.
With happy thoughts and smiles,
And nothing to bring you tears;
I pray for no-one to hurt you,
Or cause you any fears.
I really think that we are
Blessed everyday so,
Live a good life,
And be kind to others.

Those of us who read and study the Bible know that there is a spiritual war going
on.
There is a war against us and them, good and evil.
Are you going through life just living for the moment.
What about your future?
Life is not just for the moment, but eternity.
Where will your soul rest?
Where will you spend eternity?
Do you know to whom you belong?
You must be in position to accept your fate if you died this second, the next
minute, or an hour from now.
Are you ready to stand before the judgment seat?
If Yes,” then you must reach out to God now!”
