As a Christian looking back on my life before I received Jesus Christ as my Savior, I realize I was always searching for fulfillment. Looking for answers to lifes questions. Longing for peace, happiness, comfort and love.
The contents of this book consist of that journey. A journey that lead nowhere and left me empty in all aspects of my life until I started looking closer at some of the poems. I noticed a common theme that opened up before me. I saw that in much of what I wrote that I was calling out to God as a way out in my final and most desperate moment. I was using God as a last resort every time the going got tough. The funny thing is that he heard me. He was there. He loved me. He saw me through it all and wanted to do more but I wouldnt let him. So, as you could imagine, the road that I chose was full of pot-holes and overwhelming obstacles that I could have easily overcome if only I would have accepted this love, mercy, and grace.
Recently, Ive accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and everything Ive ever searched for, longed for, or questioned is being fulfilled through him. My testimony is one of complete and total salvation through our Lord, Jesus Christ. From a physical and mental prison to spiritual freedom-the God I cried out to is a God that is real.
I hope you enjoy reading these poems and I pray they will touch and bless, in Jesus name. Amen.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 (KJV)
Standing At The Door
Lurking in a timid mind just beyond the door Hiding underneath the bed lying on the floor
With shallow breath, hes listening as darkness fills the room Alone to fight his demons his imaginations loom
Silently listening for the knock like so many times before Afraid to look, for what hell see standing at the door
So I Could See Your Heart
Dear God my eyes are open now and my spirits drawn to you All my sins forgotten my life is made brand new
From the beginning did you know me before the foundation of the earth You knew my name and called me before I was given birth
You knew the path Id chosen and still you would remain To see me through and carry me and take away the pain
So many times I heard your voice but I turned away instead And followed he who meant me harm so many times mislead
And still you would call out to me and knock upon the door Of a heart that turned from flesh to stone and promised to restore
And I think you Lord for giving me a giving heart to give Unto this world my testimony the life I had to live
For I know now God this was your plan right from the very start You lead me through the valley so I could see your heart
