Wow, I'm half way through 2014 and I have not published a single post. Crazy! I guess it's time for me to start cleaning out my journal. This year I've started writing some poetry again. I haven't written consistently in a while, so this is a bit refreshing. Just a bit of a warning most of the stuff I've written is not all "happy go lucky", and if you're looking for something that fits inside of what I call the "Christian Bubble" then I encourage you to stop reading because none of what I've written this year fits in that box.
I like to think what I've written is pretty relatable. I feel like the perspective from which much of what I have written is, what some would deem ,secular with just a touch of Christianity. The reality is, although we as Christians are charged with being in the world [which is very dark] but not being of the world, because we allow the light of Christ to shine through us many times we are indeed surrounded by darkness. So most of the things I've written are observations of real life circumstances that I've been exposed to.
At first when I started writing I would stop half way through and try to turn it around from the negative downfall that my words seemed to be taking so that it would end on a good note. This resulted in a lot of "unfinished" pieces. Now, I have decided to just write what I see and feel.
So with all that said, enjoy the next few posts you see will be glimpses of the reality that surrounds me.
