About atimetoshare.me

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

FORBODING

A pale glimmer of mauve glistens over the city as the sun descends into night,Leaving a path of darkened shadows and sparkling diamonds in its wake,Reflections cover a cobblestone street, mirroring the lamplight from inside,Some shops remain open, while others … Continue reading

BIRD ON A LEDGE

A wondrous sight sat on a ledge, his feathers he did flutter, His voice sang notes that reached to God like words he couldn’t mutter, Upon that ledge so far from earth his voice entered heaven’s gate, He hoped with … Continue reading

NEVER GIVE UP

I’ve used this image before, because it shows a sense of determination that we all need right now. It would be the easy way out for us to fall into the temptation of self-pity or depression. We have reason to … Continue reading

HOWLING AT THE MOON

Two lonely hearts stand tall against the moon so bright above,Proclaiming sounds unheard by men, of their undying love,They lift their heads up to the sky, yet keep their gazes locked,They plan a secret rendezvous, as hands move round the … Continue reading

SUNDAY MORNING PRAYER

Dear, Holy, Father, It seems strange to be coming to worship you virtually. Unfortunately this is the way of the world right now. When I think about our relationship, it really has nothing to do with the physical edifice of … Continue reading

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY ONLY SIBLING
