The Beautiful World of Myth

by:Eric Fulmer

Night, her cunning beauty enwraps us all
In the music of her mystery;
In the caress of her call.
That brings us awake, stirred from our sleep
By silence undisturbed;
By darkness too deep
For weak human minds to understand
What draws us to her side;
What leads us to her land.
Where reality is suspended, a world all its own.
A place out of time;
A place that has grown
Innumerable myths, imaginations creating
Stories of terrors;
Stories unabating.

But as for me, I dwell in her being.
Its dangers worth facing;
Its beauty worth seeing.

When Dark Seems to Fall

by: Eric Fulmer

All around where I stand, darkness builds and grows,
And I shrink back in sadness and fear.
No light show's my way in the darkness of night's shadow
I feel I'll always be here.
For all around, no help calls out
Just voices that mock and jeer.
BUT it is in this moment my heart has peace
For my God, I know, is near.

Just stop and breathe...

I'll try...but what if the air is poisonous?

"Sometimes it seems the world's unraveling around us..."

Have you ever felt that way? Like you are just moving through life at a speed at which you have no control, in a world that has no control? Too often we look inside ourselves for answers and reasons, and we're disappointed when none seem to show. I challenge you tonight, however, to look for answers, not around you, but above you. Look to God. Sometimes things don't seem to make sense. Sometimes it seems as if the decisions you make will lead no where, but then God takes you in His hand and tells you, "It's alright, child, you're with me." And in those few, simple words we can find all the comfort we need. Our burdens lift off of our shoulders and we find that we can face life and all of its trials head on. For we are not alone. Not only is He with us always as He promises in His Word, but He gives us friends and family to which we can turn even in the darkest of times when it seems there is no good ending. For it is in these times that we discover the true value of friends. I have been blessed with some amazing friends that have had such a great impact on me. I'm dating an amazing godly girl with whom I can discuss how the Holy Spirit has been working in my life and hear the same from her. I have mentors that I can go to if I have a problem. ...What I'm saying is, God gives us so many resources at our disposal, not the least of which is prayer, by which we can make it through a world that seems to be unraveling around us just as the song says. Because the one who cares for you and me is still there holding His hand out for us no matter the situation...and that's awesome. We get down sometimes, wondering if everything is going to turn out right...worrying that we've made bad decisions...and we worry needlessly. Trust God, the cross still stands alone as the way to freedom...freedom from worry, fear, ______ fill in the blank. Whatever you need God for, He's there. Just ask.

I don't know why I felt like I needed to post this. It isn't some spiritual high, or anything because as you can see it is nearing 2AM, I just finished reading a secular book, and I'm so tired I'm about to fall out of my chair, but I felt like someone else may have the same worries that I have. I hope this helps someone out there.

In Every Time and Every Season

By:Eric Fulmer

For each dream realized, another dies
And in the pain, we cry to the skies.
That maybe one day, in perfection surrounding.
We'll see the joy of love abounding.

No more heartbreak will we see;
For each decision, gives only glee.
And no more worry will we endure
As all our motives will be pure.

Know God....the better option

So, in continuation to my last post. I believe I have hit upon the right answer. If you have read the title, you've already seen it. What good does it do for me to know myself. What is there that I can do for myself...nothing. What can I do through God..."I can do ALL things through Christ which strengthens me." So, it seems to be a pretty big difference if you ask me. So, I have found who I want to know. Have you?

I think this more than anything sums up the Christian life...so powerful!
