Just some thoughts...

Every day, as I write Poetiquejustis, I pray it will be a blessing to someone.
Today, I hope it is you.

Looking for questions

It is not the answer that enlightens
but the question
Eugene Decouvertes
You can learn a lot about yourself
and others
by the questions being asked
Some questions are meant to move things ahead
Some simply weigh you down
Or stall you in your tracks
Today- listen to the questions
They can be far more revealing
than the answers
and that's poetiquejustis
Test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good.
I Thessalonians 5:21

What's It Going To Look Like?

How am I going to live today
in order to live
the tomorrow I am committed to?
Tony Robbins
There are no days that do not count
There are no moments of unimportance
Whether you  are working
Or dreaming
or simply being
your ship is sailing toward tomorrow
And that tomorrow will look like
Whatever you are committing to
today
And that's poetiquejustis
You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.
Isaiah 26:3

Is It A Date?

What are the things you want to do
You know you should do 
Just for your soul?
Where are the places
You know you should see
You've wanted to see
-places to go?
Be they near or far
Or as close as your heart
Life is telling you, 
"My friend! Today make a start
from the normal, the ordinary
Is that really you?
GO!
Take just what you love
and your courage with you."
and that's poetiquejustis
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland
Isaiah 43:19

Winds of Change

It's going to take some time this time
no matter what I planned
But like the young trees in the wintertime
I'll learn how to bend
The Carpenters
Storms of life
Winds of change
They come and they go
I know I am in the eye of a storm 
when all is quiet long  enough 
for me to hear those lyrics
blowing through my mind of their own will
"It's going to take some time some time this time... "
so I try to be strong
by bending a bit to life
when I see the storms are on their
It always takes time
but then
with any luck
 
I grow
 and that's poetiquejustis
But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever. - See more at: http://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Trees#sthash.FnwtRMRI.dpuf
But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; 
I trust in the loving-kindness of God forever and ever. Psalm 52:8

Just the Start

All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast
John Gunther
It used to be this
Or at the very least this
Now it is this
Or this
Or this

You may not have a lot of choices in your work day
But you sure should be able to make a good choice
about where it begins
Carve out a few moments of peace
to start your day
It is the first step in being in control of your life
and that's poetiquejustis

.....but in the morning there is joy.
Psalm 30:5

On The Mend

Time is a dressmaker specializing in alterations.
Faith Baldwin


Time mends


Time hems us in


Time embroiders our memories


Time patches where life has left gaps
They say time heals...


But I think it is best at
and that's poetiquejustis
A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak.
Ecclesiastes 3:7

Just Deaming

Dreams don't have deadlines.
LL Cool J
" Hustle it up!"


"You are running out of time"


"You are running out of ideas!"



"Hustle it up!"


"Someone else is going to think of it first"


"Someone else is going to get there before me!"

Hustle it up."

If that sounds familiar
The you must be living another person's picture of your life
because 

Your dreams have no deadlines
and that's poetiquejustis

"And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, 

                                            your old men will dream dreams, 
                                             your young men will see visions.  
                                                            Joel 2:28
