Monocrostic (Birthday of Nerie P. Lontac)
Sometimes you have to find a new direction in life in order to lose what's caught on your shirt tail
As I lie here often I wonder wander
Often in my sleep I toss and tumble wandering
I pondered the direction of my life
I turn away for hurt harms and strife
Repenting of my sins
Throwing them deep within the ocean
And now I Rise
Covered in Grace so forgiving
And now inside my heart's beating
Now I'm truly, truly living
In earnest plea
My God my Savior has forgiven me
All my sins I have been relieved
I pondered my direction of my life
And I turned and followed your ways
Today
Heavenly Father I pondered my life
My direction and I turn from my evil ways
And now today
I come to you this way
Turn myself around
Now I'm having
All of this because I wondered wandered
I pondered
Those the direction of my life and I
Turned to follow your laws
My Lord, my God thank you Father from above Hallelujah
Psalms 119:59

Though a new direction is easy to talk,
it's a path you pave rather than walk.
Life’s New Direction
Written: by Miracle man
4-26-2020
Our days have now taken an entirely new direction,
each day comes with angst, without much elation.
Fear and anxiety are changing future’s complexion,
I pray that this pandemic will soon come to cessation.
In Hospitals and Nursing Homes so many are dying,
and our economy is stymied because of this vile thing.
To new rules, many are now reluctantly complying,
bolstered by their faith in what tomorrow will bring.
Government promulgates rules injecting fear each day,
our way of life has changed as we stay at home bored.
Those who believe it’s a hoax, with their life might pay,
by ignoring the facts while continuing to horde.
The media paints daily pictures of where we’re headed,
we’re inundated with news, without desire to hear.
COVID-19 virus has become the worlds most dreaded,
only God can cause its presence to suddenly disappear.
A new direction, more informative you might say
Still a silly old dude but in an educational way
As time goes by
Knowlege I'll apply
Spreading across the globe, now that's quite gay
Quite often, there’s a lot of speculation…
Regarding a person’s “orientation.”
As each day goes by… It appears to me.
Many are confused as to what they want to be.
Which direction one goes… Is “anybody’s guess…”
No wonder this world’s an “upside-down” mess!
The Bible says; “straight is the way.”
And “narrow is the gate.”
One needs to make up his mind.
Before it’s too late!
If one is confused. Let me point
into this direction.
It’s the word of God that gives
much needed correction
A “spiritual orientation” is
what needs to take place!
There’s a God who loves us!
And offers his grace!
If one is still unhappy with the way
they’re created…
We’re wonderfully designed by God!
This shouldn’t be debated!
Allow God’s word to orientate
your life today!
And listen to what your creator
really has to say!
Where there is emptiness… God’s love does
much more abound…
Allow the Holy Spirit to turn
your life around!
Jesus alone can change your
whole way of living!
His life for yours…
Is what HE is giving!

To focus on a goal you have,
And be not swayed by distractions,
Nor to chase every fleeting whim,
When faced with life’s attractions,
Not to say, we’ll never falter,
Within the body a war does rage,
The spirit versus fleshly desire,
A battle each time we turn the page,
As your weapon, its but the Word,
The Word that spans, time itself,
It has the answers, the help you need,
But its mostly left on the shelf,
Its not read, so it does not speak,
The resounding message there within,
Waiting to enter the cerebral realm,
A message so good, it has no end,
It’ll give you comfort, peace of mind,
It’ll show you love, beyond compare,
Your hopes and dreams, they could change,
The LORD ALMIGHTY, HE does care.
