Peace, peace, peace
It is hard feeling to grasp?
Security is hard to clasp
My doubt is astounding
So many times I doubted
I stopped counting
I look towards the heavens
Even though my heart was harden
I sit by a church garden
This feeling of hope comes
The church is a safe haven
A place where hymns are hummed

It’s crazy thinking about living forever! Isn’t it? Sometimes we reflect on existing forever. Spending forever with our Maker! And drinking in His love and worship Him forever! But you may think 10 years in Heaven will be a blast. 100 years will be fun, but what about 10,000 years in Heaven? What could we possibly do in Heaven for THAT many years?
Well, I never did extensive research on eternity, I can only speak from a personal relationship with God. But God never ceases to amaze me in this lifetime. There are always new facets of His nature and personality that surprise and astonish me. I feel like I have only scratched the surface.
So will we be bored or endlessly surprised in Heaven? I have read from people that have had Near Death Experiences (NDE’s) that beautiful colors that don’t exist on Earth exist in Heaven. Even the music is more vibrant! And the love they feel is incredible! 10 times better than on Earth!
Also I believe there will always be new adventures, fun, projects, jobs to do in Heaven. We will continue to work in Heaven but the joy will increase because of the Fall of Man, which brought toil, will be lifted! God is a creative God, He can always create more things for you to do in Heaven!
So we will be bored living forever and ever?
A.W. Tozer once said, “But there is more. God’s gifts in nature have their limitations. They are finite because they have been created, but the gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus is as limitless as God. The Christian man possesses God’s own life and shares His infinitude with Him. In God there is life enough for all and time enough to enjoy it.”
C.S. Lewis simplified it, “Once a man is united to God, how could he not live forever?”
But let’s enjoy our life to the fullest here on Earth! While we have much to look forward to, God calls us to be Earthly-minded. Prayer and worship can give us a taste of Heaven but let’s invite God to our Earthly space now!
It’s my pleasure
To enjoy life
A misunderstood treasure
Pain cuts and bleeds
But God still hears
And supplies our needs
It’s my agony
To choose to suffer
Why can’t I be free?
Sorrow leaves one empty and dry
It’s our decision what we choose
We are one step away from a laugh or cry

Dark corridors of the mind
Derbis in every corner
A maze of confusion
Where’s the way out?
I am afraid there is no way out
My mind is like locked up inside
Where are the keys?
There is no way to find
A way to warn her
Of this illusion
And fragile doubt
Another punch, another clout
I try to stand up to the fight and not hide
Will the door of my heart open with ease?

This isn’t my story but just an interesting scenario, FYI. I put myself in someone’s shoes for this poem. Enjoy! 🙂
A woman on a mission
Courage is her ambition
Hope is her intuition
Love is her transmission
She is no longer wishin’
Or in transition
But in compete submission
She has been through a lot
She used to smoke pot
Where her teeth would rot
And seduction to men she was taught
And numerous occasions she’s been distraught
Every guy considered her hot
Or so she thought…
Until she found her belief
It quenched her grief
And brought relief
It silenced the thief
Who withered like a leaf
Then love was layered around her like a wreath
When she finally met the Master Chief

Heaven, heavenly abode
Our bodies erode
But we’re on our way home
Jesus, God in flesh
Our spirits mesh
We are so blessed
Holy Bible, the Living Word
Sharper than any two-edged sword
Hope of the coming of the Lord
God, Creator of all
Let our knees fall
You, we extol
Holy Spirit, Divine Spirit
Filled with every merit
We should revere it
Church, body of Christ
Bonded by Jesus’s sacrifice
When He paid the ultimate price
So many things this world offers
But our hope resides in heaven’s coffers
Release your faith as you ignore the scoffers
We have faith, hope and love
We have God, Jesus and the Holy Dove
And the Bible, church and Heaven above

Hannah had a barren womb
But God heard in her gloom
And blessed her with Samuel
He was ordained as a priest
He took over Eli’s sons roles
And came to greatest
When he felt the least
Moses was surprised to see a bush burning
“Here I am” he replied to God
His curiousity forming
God told Moses to set the Israelites free
Moses felt unqualified
God said, “I will be with you”
Easing Moses’ questions inside
David didn’t feel like he could fight the Goliath
But God knew faith and sling and rocks
Would cause the fall of the giant
David honest tongue spoke truth
He said, “For the battles is the Lords”
Golitah thought David had no chance
But God struck the Giant down without swords
We all have a battle to win
It doesn’t matter where you gave been
Pray like Hannah for promises
And trust God like Moses did
And fight like David
And I can assure you that you will see
An awakening of blessings that you hid

Hello, here is my latest video from Carly’s Niche on YouTube. I sense God has a lot of blessings in store for us this month!! I hope you enjoy! And feel free to subscribe if you like what you see! 🙂
It is the end of the ride
But you’re still strapped inside
You don’t get many turnarounds
Mark my words
You’ll look back
And say, “oh snap”
“Why didn’t I enjoy it more?”
The announcer says the ride’s done
But you still want more fun
Can’t you see it for what it is?
You get many loops in life
A scary experience or a thrill
What you feel is at will
It’s all in the mind
Corkscrews can make you dizzy or free
Who do you choose to be?
You will feel uncomfortable at times
Can’t you just let go?
Tty to lean back
And relax
And enjoy the ride
You only live once
As my heart goes thud thud thud
I realize I can be an old stick in the mud
God change me from the inside out
Take away my shame and doubt
I have deep roots in the ground
But why I am still bound?
I trust You, God Almighty
Set Your heart free in me
I want to capture Your heart
Because You captured mine from the start
I am here, Lord, empty and available
With Your great Love that’s unexplainable
