I have found myself listening to
the rain drops from Heaven's reservoir.
When all else fails to attract my attention,
I find myself focusing on the blessings
that are locked behind Heaven's door.
The Great Dr. Maya Angelou knew this
all to well.
The key to her blessings are safely stored
in her spiritual relationship with the Creator.
She was fearless in her pursuit of promises made.
God has provided the armor for all of my wars.
When I get weary, I focus on the motivator.
The Great Dr. Maya Angelou knew this
all to well.
Biblical truths, prepared from the beginning of
God's creation, a road map for my journey home.
It was never said that there would not be problems.
God did promise to provide, protect and guide me,
if I was obedient, I would never be alone.
The Great Dr. Maya Angelou is a perfect example
of what can be achieved when you are lead by
your convictions, an unquenchable thirst for
knowledge and faith in the Heavenly spirit that
that guided her.
The Great Dr. Maya Angelou knew this
all to well.
In spite of all of her life's obstacles, she gave birth
to a legacy that will last for an eternity. As she so
eloquently stated in one of my favorite poems..I
RISE, I RISE..
Obedience to God's Statues and Laws are required
for (FOR THE JOURNEY)

The Promise Of the Rainbow, His hands extends Thru The Rain
Turbulent seas, we have to cross,
believing on our own we bare the brunt of the pain.
Unable to see the need for the extended hands
of the Creator that extends thru the rain.
The ship we sail on is frail and useless
against the torrential rain storms of life.
And yet we continue to pursue with such vigor,
that which lights up our eyes but is full of strife.
Onward we sail to distant lands in search of
earthly things, seeking carnal satisfaction.
Forgot we have, of the spiritual connection
to He that created us, we have no reaction.
Soon the end will come, He will let go of the sail,
because you have failed to honor your Creator.
Your ship will be tossed to and fro, it will disassemble.
Destruction will be your doom, and your cries will be greater.
You will be left reaching for the hands that are not there.
You will feel only the sharpness of his tongue.
His words will pierce your heart.
He will remove you from his memory, his will be done.
He will send forth His word into the world,
He will remove all confusion and only the pure
in heart will remain. When he sees the Rainbow in
the sky, he will remember his promise. You will
be able to see His hands as they extends thru the rain.

Where The Strength Resides
When the creative process of our mind
seems to loose its fervor. Where do we
look for refuge? Through the prism of
a lighted fantasy.
The challenge of finding our way in
the dark, gives us pain and pleasure. Our
mind is consumed with the idea of reaching
our goals and life's destination through the
easiest route of resistance.
In doing so, we loose the opportunity to
learn from life's struggles. Knowledge that
would improve our ability to survive. We have
been taught that less is more.
We refuse to believe that we are spiritual beings
rapped up in a physical body for the soul purpose
of doing the will of our creator. How long will
we continue to struggle before we realize where
the strength resides.
