Download or read book Rock Bottom written by Sabrina Allen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-11-06 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed for those that desire a closer relationship and fellowship with the Father. As the reader reads this poetry, we feel once they grasp the idea to look at our Father and not the situation(s) they may face, they will find that God is a way maker and in his presence there is peace. So many times in life, we awake in a strange land; meaning, this is a new place in our lives and/or families, we are not sure how we got here or how to get back to that first love, which is God. We can have all of those things that God has designed; all we have to do is to ask. We communicate with our Father when we read, pray, fast, talk, and sing to him. Giving a total submission to God and allowing him to shine through our being, readers will find that when God has our undivided attention, how he turns a bad situation to a glorified project for his kingdom. When we dont communicate with God, we experience separation, and this makes us feel that God is far away from us and perhaps we may even feel that he has given up on us. This is the flesh and carnal nature talking to us, based on our emotions. God is with us even when we hit the bottom.

Download or read book How to Pull Yourself up from Rock Bottom to Success written by Dave Williams and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2010-10-27 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living a GOD–centered life is the only way to have peace, joy and “Success” on this earthly journey. GOD is an awesome GOD. This book will help you to not only hear the voice of GOD but persuade you to immediately start following GOD’s Words to achieve “Success.” As you may know or will learn, life is an amazing journey. It is full of opportunities, disappointments, excitement and the unknown. 1 Peter 1:13 states, “Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” GOD wants to help us achieve our goals and if it’s in His will, GOD will make your greatest dream a reality. So, never give up, keep on believing, expecting and declaring that good things will happen for you each day. I am still hopeful that eventually there will be peace on this earth if it’s GOD’s will. John 14:27(NIV) states, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Download or read book Clutching Bricks Poetry Without Apologies written by Tre LaVin and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Passion, as I have come to know it, is necessary to reach the pinnacle of true happiness. Without it, we would remain incomplete. After a long period of self-assessment, I was able see that life itself is fragile enough without us doing our best to damage it. Priority is precedence for direction, just as reflection is another chance at redemption. It is funny how a mirror can give birth to perspective. My own words opened the window that would come to allow me to appreciate the frailties of what God has given me, teaching me an ultimate lesson. Is it possible to fully comprehend what is seen? Not all the time, especially when looking through natural eyes. Often, we let our emotions block the clarity of what we see. As these words become real to you, may you find not only the strength to believe, but the conviction to make a difference! In this volume of poetry, there is much to ponder as I am reminded of just why I am here...and now, my purpose could not be more evident! Within the walls of this creative space I am clutching bricks that break down the very conventions of what I thought I knew, using these poetic pieces as cement and ink as the mortar hoping to leave an imprint on the mind so concrete that it will stand time’s test in the future of our generations to come. May this volume of poetry breathe fresh air into your life and help you shape your own vision as you begin to leave your mark on those around you. In these times, we can ill afford to be HISTORY, we must make HISTORY!
