The Ministry of the Trenches
Once again, sleep evades me. My mind works overtime, keeping pace with the steady, rhythmic whir of the fan beside my bed. My eyes are heavy, my body aches with exhaustion, yet my thoughts are consumed by the sheer number of people who are desperately struggling right now.The trials they are enduring are staggering.

Underneath the Shade
Underneath the shade tree,Where the children play,Their laughter drifts upon the breezeLike any other day. Their innocence we envy,They play without a care;They see no social barriers,With spirits full of flair. Hate is not an instinct;It’s a lesson they are taught.If only they could stay this way—But we know that they will not. When young, … Continue reading Underneath the Shade

Your Sovereignty
The lightening flashes in the sky, Your power seen so clear. A gentle breeze upon my cheek, to dry a falling tear. Vibrant colors of the sunset, a new canvas every day. Many hearts so full of joy, as we bow our heads to pray. So thankful for Your gifts, we so often overlook. Your … Continue reading Your Sovereignty
Beauty Amidst Chaos
I drove to work this morning, with the windows down. The radio was off, yet noise was all around. Cars were passing by, a plane flew overhead. An ambulance was speeding, to an accident ahead. A construction team was setting up, their workday to begin. A city bus was picking up, the passengers board again. … Continue reading Beauty Amidst Chaos
