I’ve been putting it off for far too long. I really need to take a blogging break, but I’d like to leave you with the poem below. It’s not only time for a blogging break, it’s time to fly in two senses: It’s time to kick the devil to the curb, and it’s time to soar. I’m not backing down. Never give up. Rest when you must, but don’t give up. ❤
I’m not exactly sure how long I’ll be away. The longest I’ve ever taken is three weeks. I’m going to aim for a month. We’ll see how that goes, but I will be back.
God bless and keep you. ❤
Tina
Rest
I’m tired of your lies
I’m leaving them behind
I’m not listening anymore
You have nothing good to say.
I’m tired of the games
I’m on to better things
I don’t care how hard you try
I know what tomorrow brings.
So I’m never looking back
I won’t ever miss that place
I’ve traded my sorrows for joy
There’s nothing better than God’s grace.
I’ve tasted and I’ve seen
There’s no one greater than my King
He guides me by the hand
He protects and shelters me
So don’t tell me all your lies
For I know the Prince of Peace
You can try to cut me down
But I’ll keep planting all my seeds
For I believe that God is able
And I know you’ve already been beat
So I refuse to feel defeated
And I won’t be losing any sleep.
