Too often my memory fails me, And I lose things all the time. One minute I know what I plan to do, … Continue reading “I Still Matter”
“In My Eyes”
In My Eyes by James A. Kisner He's rough and lacks in etiquette, Society would say. He has no classy attributes, To help him on his way. He's not a fancy dresser, And he's not so trimmed and neat. With simple clothes and simple shoes, He wears upon his feet. He doesn't belong to a … Continue reading “In My Eyes”
“I Bend”
I bend By Selena Odom I bend but do not break. I’ve been lost, but I’m not a loser. I’m a wreck, but I’m not totalled. I’m fractured but not broken. I’ve failed, but I’m not a failure.

I’m Pressing On ~
Keep pressing on…
CHRISTian poetry ~ by deborah ann
I’m pressing on,
till these problems are gone
I’m moving forward
with my eyes looking heaven ward.
I’m trusting God,
and the guidance of His rod
I’m letting go
knowing the way He will show.
I’m going slowly,
keeping my life before Him lowly
I’m praying that my Savior
will soon grant me His favor.
I’m believing in His leading,
and I’m practicing my heeding
I’m doing my best
and letting God do the rest.
I’m pressing on,
till these problems are gone
I’m pressing towards the goal
with all my heart and soul!

Philippians 3:12
King James Version
“Not as though I had already attained,
either were already perfect: but I follow after,
if that I may apprehend that for which also
I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.”
