sprint

Honk Honk!
Beep beep!
Boom boom!
Its madness!
"Move out of our way!"
It's what they all shout
While in their hurry to shove you aside and rush through life
Never take the time to think
Never take the time to stop
Breath
Never take the time to slow down and
fulfill the promises they've sworn
meet new people
try new things
or take the time to say "You know what, I'm here for you."
never take the time to enjoy life
never take the time to live out what they believe
every step they take
every mountain they climb
ends up in a sprint
to the other end
You don't have to rush through everything you do
so slow down
breath
take the time to think and ponder
to forgive and love
and to completely and faithfully serve the Lord :)

Her Big Brown Eyes

she approaches you with a welcoming smile

a warm heart

casual looks just like anyone else

she seems pleasant

some one you would want to get to know

you sit down with her

and suddenly her eyes meet yours

it melts your heart at this awe full sight

her eyes are beautiful and charming

loving in so many ways

they sparkle and show potential

but at the same time

these eyes are lost

ones that have had it all taken away

these eyes search for hope

these eyes search for grace

these eyes are consumed by the flesh

her big brown eyes are dark

her big brown eyes search you

to see if you are what she is looking for

“will you show me love?”

“will you give me hope?”

you stare into her eyes not knowing how to respond

for if you reach out your hand to help

you could risk your life

for if you tell her of God's love

there is a possibility for no tomorrow

you turn head but something draws you back towards them

God whispers to you

“This is what I have commanded you to do.”

“This is what I long for, this is what I desire.”

“For I will save this city

this country

and they will serve me forever more!

So go

for this is my mission in progress.

I love these people

they are my children.”

once more I lift my head up to see her eyes

her big brown eyes

that need the Lord.
