An analysis of trust : a poem

image credit: istockphoto.com

This poem is a journey through different facets of trust to create a synopsis

Oh achy heart with no one to trust

the weary soul with no place to call home,
The heavy head with no shoulder to rest on
How your internal war isolates you
It is indeed a hard decision to make
An arduous road to take
When you consider that words first be can sweet yet the truth about them is bitter
you travel down that road once more

Oh, naive heart,
look once and then again because the one you trust is not worthy,
it is one who reads from a well-written script,
listen more than you feel is necessary,
because the puzzle is solvable,
when the pieces do not fit it is not a mystery but a clue.

If only you could see the truth then you would soar over the isolation,
over the heaviness
There is but one that is worthy of all trust
God alone
But on earth, there are a few he has placed
Because the curious thing is we need each other
The creator did not make us to build walls but to build bridges.

The existential crisis of Job: The search for meaning

The phrase " existential crisis" may sound deep and far fetched to you so lets use Job's story to set it up. Let's introduce Job, a wealthy man with kids who do what most rich kids do, they party. He has lots of land. Set up a large farm in your mind and add some 7000 sheep, 3000 camels, 1000 oxen and 500 female donkeys. You need a lot of land to hold all those animals! He is a man with so much integrity that one book of the bible is dedicated to him. The question is why did he have so many trials? Everything went wrong in Job's life, yes e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. It all started with something he could not see in Job chapter 1. God boasts about Job and Satan tells God that the only reason Job serves him is because of the things God does for him. His proposition is for God to let him , Satan, switch things around so that Job would curse God. God agrees but states that Satan cannot take Job's life. ...

Emotional healing is a process

It is often said that time heals all wounds. I think it depends on what you do with that time and what your wounds are. Medically, a deep wound will not heal on its own with the passing of time. In the same way, an emotional wound will not heal if the work is not put in to go through the process of healing. The work could be reading the bible, listening to seminars by psychologists, reading books, listening to messages, therapy, being around loving people e.t.c, things that build your soul. "A cheerful disposition is good for your health; gloom and doom leave you bone-tired" Proverbs 17:22(MSG version ). The NLT version says " A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person's strength." A wounded heart leads to a broken spirit. Any wound needs attention. On, the other hand you could let a wound fester. You will not heal by holding onto unforgiveness or bitterness. It will only deepen the wound and keep you in a constant cycle of ...

Two Healthy Avocado Sandwiches and Homemade Ginger tea: A way to help Millennials "save for a home."- Sizzle Drizzle recipes

I remember the first time I told a college classmate that I loved avocado on bread. Her reaction was "that sounds weird." Some other people in earshot of the conversation also gave me strange looks. I actually had never heard of an avocado sandwich at that time but now eating avocado toasts or sandwiches is a major trend. Avocados are highly nutritious, containing 20 essential nutrients, so I consider their rise in popularity a good thing. According to the Washington Post, the rise of the avocado in America began in 2015. I have inserted a link here to the Washington Post article: " The rise of the avocado, America's new favorite fruit ." This year, 2017, avocados are still popular enough to cause an uproar on social media (read tweets here ) in response to millionaire Tim Gurner's statement during an interview on 60 minutes. He spoke about Millenial Australians not being able to buy houses because they are unemployed and spend "forty dollars a day...
