God gave me a penny from heaven today
I found it on the floor
In the hallway
When I opened up the door
I was so surprised,
it was my first
My soul had been parched,
it quenched my thirst
it made me feel good
it made me feel happy
a calm settled over me
a peace that cannot be seen
Thank you God, for this gift from above
that proves to me, my Father’s love
One day closer,
to those streets of gold.
Days fly by,
and the nights have gotten cold,
A light in the sky,
all of heaven sang
shepherds didn't need
to wonder why
A miracle of
a virgin birth
the presence of God
here on earth.
God the Father,
sent down His Son,
so that we
could all be one
A gift
that Mary treasured,
a gift
that's without measure.
Jesus will walk with you
Jesus will walk with me
and together we will walk
right into eternity.
Lord Jesus Christ,
pour out your Spirit over me
I want to feel your presence
I want to know your way
Pour it out again
like you have done before
I want to feel your peace
Forgive me for my sins
help me begin again
Refresh my weary soul
and restore me
so, I am whole again.
A couple of years ago I had a dream. In my dream I was sent an invitation. The invitation reminded me of a very colorful wedding invitation. It had multicolored flowers on it with gold trim. The words on it said, “You are invited to be a maid’ and signed from God. It was an invitation to work for God. The invitation also said I would have Sundays for a day off.
When I woke up, I was so amazed by my dream. The invitation looked expensive and very pretty. In all my life, I have never seen such a beautiful invitation. It makes sense though because God is my treasure. I long for His peace and presence in my life, and when I don’t feel it, God feels far away.
I was depressed before the dream because I don’t work anymore and felt like I had no purpose because of it. I felt like I wasn’t having any positive effect on anyone because I rarely drive anymore or go places because of anxiety and chronic pain. I didn’t used to be quite this anxious until I got hurt during the pandemic. I couldn’t drive for six months because of pain I was feeling. During that time, I had a protestant Christian counselor that didn’t help me at all. In fact, I think he did more harm than good. But writing is therapeutic for me, and I feel better after I write down my feelings. It is a way I can heal my soul and mind from the damage that counselor did.
I decided to write a blog as my way of serving God and share God’s love. All of my poetry is about God. Thanks for reading.

When I think of You
I see a gentleness
a peacefulness
quiet kind of strength
I see the King of kings
a roaring lion
Lord of all creation
Blessing from above
I see love in You
whether Your eyes
be Green or Blue
it is love I see in you
When I think of you
I see myself as a child
someone frail and small
and You standing strong and tall.
I don't deserve Him,
with the sins I carry,
When I feel hate and anger,
I hate the way I feel.
It's a sin, and when I feel hate,
to Jesus I must appeal,
to be forgiven from the same old sins.
Why can't I change?
I ask myself over,
and over again.
Jesus said hate,
is just like murder
how will I ever make it,
to myself I wonder.
So much hate,
such a senseless war.
So many injustices
in this cruel, cruel world.
All the cruelty and insults,
will they ever end?
This isn't God's will,
this isn't God's plan.
He radiates power,
And when His presence enters a room,
worry is something you just can't do.
His presence brings peace,
His presence brings love,
His presence is tranquility.
I want to feel His presence again,
it's better than seeing a long, lost friend.
When I feel His presence,
I just want to praise.
He is power,
He is love,
He is peace.
That is my God,
That is my Savior,
That is my Prince of Peace.
He is the maker…
of the universe….
awesome in power…
Creator of the galaxies…
yet looks after…
the flower…
He is a God…
That is love…
and he made…
the heaven above….
He made me….
and He made you…
never think…..
you are unloved…..
It is in his essence…
He is the love…
of the Father…
incarnated in flesh…
Adonai
Yeshua
Jesus.
When I looked into your eyes, I saw a part of me
and when I’ve felt you hold me you made me feel complete
Why you love me I’ll never understand
I am a sinful woman, but you made me strong so I could stand
You shield me from the enemy and cause me no harm.
You suffered, were beaten and whipped beyond description.
You know what it’s like to be betrayed and despised
You understand what we are going through
that is why I treasure you, like a prize.

Angels watching over you
and angels watching me
God sent an angel to Daniel
and sent an angel to Mary
Jesus has an army
of angels to guide and save us
from the enemy
They keep us safe
and sometimes they appear to us
It’s such of mystery
of God’s great grace and mercy
Once God sent me a dream
of angel choirs singing
I didn’t know the words
I didn’t know the meaning
They are a gift from the Father above
He has sent them
to save me from death
time and time again.
