through seas of discontent,
pushing away from sin
and what is spent
may be more that what I've got.
who I've been
and who I am meet in a torrent
as once again
i tell the world to get bent
because I'm sure of what I'm not.
my family is a sea
that I fear to swim of late
as the tears I cry
destroy the lies of fate.
they churn, eddies that radiate their liveliness-
we're each our own little storm, I guess.

Hey Dan! I had been wondering where you were. Glad that you finally write again! You have an amazing gift Dan, and that is to touch & relate to people's lives through your writing and painting!
Just a little encouragement here : Please don't give up hope! Don't give up on Jesus! Try to dream about the possibilities of what will happen if you rise up beyond your circumstances and look forward to what is ahead instead of striving through the past, uncertainty and the norm of life.
There's so much more than the life itself! I would not dare to deliver a message like this, that had never delivered myself before! I've been through storms a lot, but as i continue to seek Him, i've seen His faithfulness and grace wherever I go. So often, it's painful and ugly, but His love makes it worthy. I've learnt if i feel He nowhere can be found, i will tirelessly chase after Him. I've learnt if wonders and miracles are not following me, i will continue to chase them until they follow me.
He goes before you, He shields your way. All you need is just to take a step of faith to trust Him again and move forward. And there is no condemnation in Christ. He has so much more in store for you! Go for Him!
Stay strong! :)
Thank you, Yenni. I am a romantic at heart, and I tend to pump drama into things. I have not given up on hope, nor on Jesus. Thank you for the encouragement. Maybe I am on a mountain, or in a desert, or a valley, or in the belly of a whale, but wherever I am it is not the easy, breezy road I had come to take for granted the first few years I sought God. Still, God is Good. God is Love. Thank you for your honest words of encouragement, and God be with you too, wherever you go!
