Faithfulness...

There are times

when being still 

like a forest,

is a prayer

needing to be prayed...

To shut everything out,

concentrating

on the whispers

from The Voice within...

keeping

the faith...

Lately, my life

 is not unfolding

the way I want...

 Lately, my burdens 

feel extra heavy...

Some times

I feel like I am

lost in a forest,

bewildered and

overwhelmed by 

my surroundings...

Impatience,

disappointment,

and 

doubt

plague my joy,

stealing my focus...

As swiftly

as a sudden shower,

a crack of lightning,

a roar of thunder,

a change in attitude

through prayer

can come like a cool breeze...

on a warm day...

Reassuring me

I am on the right path...

walking in nature's glory

cherishing every step

filled with wonderment

and a sense of discovery...

My example

are the trees

stretching to the heavens

aiming for the stars;

faithful to soar above and beyond...

Faithfulness

is the ability

to believe

to know

to expect

without question...

depending

on the fact

God does not 

make mistakes...

God has a plan for me.

He knows

this place and time

may not be to my liking

but there is a reason

I am here...

learning

growing

being molded

and shaped

into the purpose

He has for my life...

It is important

I seek, find and know

what that purpose is...

but more importantly,

to be faithful.

Forests, like life,

evolve

effected by the elements...

as it is meant to do...

Tall, strong trees

fall,

if only to become

a bridge to cross...

eventually rotting

to fertilize the soil...

the rain falls,

moss spreads to feed,

animals take shelter,

gentle ferns

thrive within the mist,

every living thing

has a purpose...

He knows the all

and the everything.

Please fill me

with your Spirit,

Please fill me

with your peace.

I want 

to be

 faithful...

Amen.
