Just some thoughts...

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

The Steps

 

Step by step
the thing is done
Charles Atlas



That's the thing 
about getting

done


You have to know
what the
is
that is worth doing


And why you believe this
is meant for you to do
                                                                    

                                                                           
You have to know the


you really want to do
Because, in this life there is 
 that everyone needs to do
and that's poetiquejustis
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11

Star Light

 

When it is dark enough, you can see the stars
R W Emerson



Things looking bleak?


Having trouble finding that silver lining?


Maybe you need to refocus a bit.


Instead of asking for the light.

ask where you can be a light



And see just how bright your own life becomes.
and that's poetiquejustis
The people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.
Matthew 4:16

Being Who You Will Be

 

In solitude be a multitude of thyself
Tibulus
"When I grow up I want to be...."
Remember saying those words?
I hope you still say that to yourself!
Because you are changing and growing 
Finding new talents
Finding new strengths
Finding new paths
Give yourself a moment to think about it
Now that you are older and have a bit of a head start
What DO you want to be when you grow up?
and that's poetiquejustis
...Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
2 Peter 3:18

Actus Reus

 

Remember, a real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken new action. 
If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
Tony Robbins
You can think

You can dream

You can plan

You can imagine

You can ponder

You can have aha moments

until they are coming out of your ears


But until you do something about it

It is not real
 Life...
Keep it real
and that's poetiquejustis
“Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant.
 It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest.” 
~ D.L. Moody

Take a Look!

 

I can move both of my eyes separately in different directions
Corbin Bleu
 

Over here!
 
 
 
No- over here!
 
 
Do this!
 
 
Be that!
 
 
Change hats!
 
 
Change gears!
 
Enough already!
 I am calling the shots now
So take a number!
 
and I will happily be all you want me to be
when you want me to be
how you want to be me
as soon as I am finished
 
BEING ME
and that's poetiquejustis
 
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
 your works are wonderful,
 I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14

Give it a swing!

 

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing...
Duke Ellington



Swing in your step


Swinging on a star


                                                                     Swing Your Partner
                                                   
                                            Or just get your feet off the ground and swing!
                                 Somehow today, take heed of the words of Robert Louis Stevenson
                                               
                                                   How do you like to go up in a swing,                                                               Up in the air so blue?
                                                    Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
                                                         Ever a child can do!
                                                    Up in the air and over the wall,
                                                        Till I can see so wide,
                                                    River and trees and cattle and all
                                                        Over the countryside--

                                                 Till I look down on the garden green,
                                                 Down on the roof so brown--
                                                  Up in the air I go flying again,
                                                    Up in the air and down!
                                                We may have to grow up
                                                  But we do not have to lose our swing
                                                 and that's poetiquejustis

                 But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like     eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

Dare to Dream

 

Dreams are renewable
Dale E. Turner
My dreams went to sleep last night

and this morning, they hid their head beneath the pillow

"Wake up", I said.

But My Dreams just burrowed deeper, not wanting to face the day unfulfilled

"Wake up", I said, and shook them gently, because I need My Dreams to carry on.

Sighing, My Dreams followed me in to the day

and the day gets busy

and I forget about my dreams

and I fall in to a slumber of work-a -day busy

And My Dreams shake me gently and say
"Wake up- we need you to carry on"
and we begin again
 
and that's poetiquejustis
For the light makes everything visible. 
This is why it is said, 
"Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light."
 Ephesians 5:14
