Is it judgement or refinement?
Houston is getting back on God’s assignment
Hurricanes come and go
But you still reap what you sow
God, show us Your mercy
Don’t leave us
Send us waves of Your love
To reach us
To not grieve You
But to receive You
It’s not judgement on Louisana and Texas
But God’s grace
Not greasy but divine grace

Of all the challenges we have faced
Nothing is like being displaced
Being an evacuee
Because of Harvey
All possessions down the stream of water
It makes you question
Where’s your Heavenly Father?
But the community in Houston is strong
Offering guidance, protection, and shelter to the throngs
My heart grieves
I am in complete disbelief
I have been safe
But it feels like a bad dream
But it’s nothing in comparison nothing to the other people’s chafe
The heart can only take so much
Before we begin to lose touch
Lose touch with reality
By having to flee
Flee not just by your place of residence
But fleeing your spirit
Wanting to hold on to some sort of benevolence
But Houston, will regain momentum
And churches, organizations and others will give to hope to victims
It will take a while
Esp. when they are in a strange cloud of confusion and denial
The sun will shine again
Not just outside
But all around Houston people’s hearts will form an unbreakable chain

I am fine here in Houston. Please pray for thousands displaced from their homes. But seeing all the Houstians, National Guards, people from Louisiana bringing in their boats is just so awe-inspiring. God please bring your deliverance and hope back to Houston! Amen!

Just to let everyone know I am safe in Houston in this storm. Prayers please for the others impacted by this! Thank you.
Even when the heat and cool moisture starts to form
I will praise You even in this storm
Protect and oversee
Your children
Impacted by Hurricane Harvey
Waters may rise
But I am still hallowed in Your eyes
Even if the water dampens
You are lover of my soul
No matter what happens
Consider it pure joy and opportunity
When the trials come flooding as the sea
God has got your back
When you are sinking
And satan has you under attack
God will outsmart his wit
And throw him in the pit
Praise You, Father
I may be drowning
But I am immersed in Your loving water
You have the world in Your hands
And a heart for our destiny still stands
Praise You, Abba Papa Daddy
I know you will work this out for Your good
And Your word is necessary, not just handy
We must soak in Your word
As Texas continues to work together as one accord
People, pray for every Texas city
Even if it looks scary
The Lord gives you His love and pity
We must stand strong now
Giving prayers of supplication to Thou

This hurricane Harvey is just not moving like we thought it would. I am safe in a big house on the 2nd floor but it just isn’t moving. Houston may shut down their power for safety reasons. Please pray for peace, safe rescue missions, and everyone would not leave. Thank you! Depending on if they shut down power, I may be out of pocket a while.
Please feel free to comment and share this!! Thank you for your prayers!!
What a spectacular view from Your eyes, Lord
It’s a magnificent day
Children are eating ice cream like it’s a heavenly treat
Lovers are jumping off a driving board
Into a pool of trust and affinity
When used correctly
Free will can be so sweet
The fireflies are whirling around
They are penetrating the sky like a light show
They are buzzing like they are exactly where they want to be
Children and lovers are ready for the showdown
If we are made for this; it must be this unmistakable
That this love is elastic and unshakable
Children and lovers lift up your hands and make your plea
Children; the innocent bloodline of God
Lovers; the marriage of man to God
Take your stand in this tarnished life
Your unspoken beauty and dignity give the Lord laud
Oh, Your view Father, must be marvelous!
For children who show such contentment and fearlessness
And lovers who passionately and effortless rely on their husband or wife
God, You see the pain in the Earth
But You still ask for us to come to You
Because You created us for this moment in time, for always
Because it’s beauty when lovers kiss or mothers give birth
It’s the continuous cycle of life, you know?
Life is in full bloom after life’s snow
All because of children and lovers amaze

I live in Houston, TX and Hurricane Harvey, as you may know is heading towards Corpus Christi now. This is about 3 hours away from me, so the hurricane will die down as it gets closer to me. And so there is no evacuation set up. We are expected to get lots of rain and flooding. Please pray for the people of Texas right now. I am safe with my family. I just waiting to get back to sunshine and normal life but since it’s a category 4, it may take many for things to go back to normal. Now it’s just the calm before the storm. I will give you updates as they come and may even write a poem about it! Lol!
Beautiful poetry. Did I say beauty mixed with real and raw emotions? 😀 Check out this blog.
All their lives men struggle for food and recognition
Yet I tire and resign to a lifetime of poverty and idleness
Like a wandering cloud, all my ambitions have amounted to nothing
Now I grow old and frustrated by the day
Of all talents I lack the one I envy most
Pure regrets come anew in my sleep pillow
I just want to say Radiohead is an amazing band. Thom Yorke has the voice of an angel. Their lush musical overlays and ethereal vocals makes it so comforting like soup on a cold day. Every one says OK Computer is their favorite album but mine is the Bends. It’s nineties rock at its finest. No Nirvana-rip-off album. It’s an intelligent album with rollicking guitar. It took me a while to truly appreciate them and now I am glad I do.
Do you like Radiohead? What’s your favorite album by them?
Please listen to this if you get a chance:
On a site called Rate Your Music, I have some reviews with the username NewBeginning. I reviewed Radiohead’s King of Limbs.
I rejoice that you are close and lament that you are far; shed tears of joy and sing songs of sorrow. Looking deep into the night sky for the ever star, searching—waiting for the rays of tomorrow. My body in Babylon, my heart in Zion Sojourners boots worn weary from the cold. My present, cobblestone […]
