Wrapping God's Precious Babies in Love
I love writing poetry, but I enjoy quilting even more.
Often my poetry comes to me while I'm sitting quietly and quilting, and is jotted down on my scratch pad for later entry on the computer.
Come see all my quilting projects

You are not alone.  We all have questions, doubts, and fears which try to weaken our faith. 

No matter where you may be on your particular life path, or what problems you are facing, you are not alone.  Someone else has faced the same or similar challenges. 

You CAN make it through the storm and walk into the light again with renewed hope and faith.

May's Lesson in Poetry Form

Sijo

Sijo  (the word is both singular and plural) also resembles haiku in having a strong foundation in nature, but its lines average 14-16 syllables, for a total of 44-46. For best results, poets follow these and other guidelines very closely.

Either narrative or thematic, this lyric verse introduces a situation or problem in line 1, development (called a turn) in line 2, and a strong conclusion beginning with a surprise (a twist) in line 3, which resolves tensions or questions raised by the other lines and provides a memorable ending.

Example:

Bandanas wave from cedar boughs; beneath, a pyre of stone.
On army land Geronimo sleeps, clouds pass over the sun.
This warrior cry inside my head, an echo or just a dream.

My alter ego folks (hehe).  What I might have looked like 15 years ago!
I guess we all like to hold onto a wee bit of yesteryear!

The Reading Room: 

God Came Near

By Max Lucado

You want to follow Christ, but at times you lose sight of him on a personal level.  You may rely on the vision of a pastor, Bible study leader, friend or spouse.  But God desires more for you than a second-hand faith.  He wants you to see him for yourself.  To be touched by his glory.  To witness his majesty.  To know him as Friend.  That’s why God came near.  To be seen.  Sit on the cold, hard floor of the cave in which he was born… Smell the sawdust of the carpentry shop… Hear his sandals slap the hard trails of Galilee… He is the one who can restore focus to your blurred vision, rekindle the fire of prayers gone cold, and steady your trembling faith.  In this book you can take a closer look.  You’ll be glad you did.  For once you have caught a glimpse of his majesty, you will never be the same again.
