After Visiting some blogs today, I resurrected a poem I wrote in 2009.. I know from experience how at times our Faith in Humanity can be shaken.. And how Faith in ourselves and in others can be diminished. Having come through some dark tunnels of my own.. I just want my blogging friends to know that We can overcome any obstacle if we have Faith.. Know we are all Co-creators we are All of us God and Goddesses..
Trust in the Universal Plan
And know the Power of your Strength Lies Within.
Love and Blessings
Faith
My life so far has been so good
Although at times I couldn’t see trees for wood
I’ve had my troubles and I’ve had my pains
But through it all more strength I’ve gained.
You see I have this Faith unseen
That is always with me, wherever I’ve been
That inner voice that talks me through
It’s there in all, it’s there in you
I’ve seen the darkness of despair
Where I would hide, and not comb my hair
I’ve cried until my eyes ran dry
I’ve raged and cursed, and would want to die
But even in those darkest days
I now recall in memories haze
My Faith was such, I spoke with God
As to why upon my road I trod.
I see it now, I see it clear
And as with each new passing year
I give my thanks to all I share
For richness abounds beyond compare
I just open up my eyes and See
That all God’s gifts are here for me
The Miracles of all new life
Of loving children, a much loved wife.
To cuddle close in firelight glow
Within the arms of love and know
That you are safe, secure and free
And feel the peace wash over me.
My Faith inside keeps me strong
To help keep love, to heal, and belong
All comes right, if you Believe
And with my Blessings,
I now leave..

Faith! One small word yet one giant step. And if mankind does not take that giant step with faith that there is a sustainable future then ….. I can’t even go there in my mind! (Sorry, too much book in my head just now!)

We all are one at the end of the day Linda.. A little Faith in one another is all it takes.. instead we choose to view each other in the world with suspicion as we mistrust motives.. Fear has been ingrained within us so our Faith has been eroded away. Once we understand what Real Faith means in life.. I do not just speak of religion.. but Faith in Letting Go of worry, Letting Go of limited thoughts of preconceived ideas and perceptions which have been ingrained within our thoughts system throughout the centuries.. When we really LET GO and TRUST and have FAITH once again within our own instincts our own Gut feelings as to how we should live in harmony and not in conflict.. Then dear Linda we shall see a great stride forward in Humanity..
Much love your way ❤ Enjoy your weekend

Faith has no preconceptions; it is a plunge into the unknown. Belief clings, but faith let’s go.

Thank you, Sue. No truer words have been written and this Heart really thanks you. Between my struggles with technology and trying to keep up with blogging, I am again taking a step back to relax. I was even contemplating on quitting everything last night due to bone breaking fatigue …. Petals and Photography. How can I cut out the Beat of my Heart? And how do I cut back somewhere so that I have more hours to me? I’ve started today with most comments directed to me at Petals, I just clicked like. Sue, so many are following me, and so many leave comments, if I am to have the time to apply to Family and Photography, I must do this. I do Love you! Love, Amy

I follow wait let me see Wow…. 333 blogs.. Didn’t realise it was that many!! 333 Another Magical Number for me.. 🙂 she says laughing.. as I have been seeing 333 and 444 all over the place.. including the amount of emails to read in my in-box!..
So what I do is take people in bite size chunks… I used to worry about not keeping up.. Its ridiculous because Blogging is a Hobby and as such should not be stressful.. So I have learnt those who are interested stay and those who are not move on..
I have a wonderful list of followers with more each week adding me to their follow lists.. But I Have learnt I can not follow everyone back.
So Amy… Just learn to Please yourself more and spend precious time with family.. Now I am retired I realise more and more how fast time is flying by.. And Family DO come first..
You know I will always catch up in batches with your own lovely photos.
This morn I was out taking some of my own.. Thats why I am here to upload.. so hope you can see a few of my mobile phone clicks 🙂 as I didnt have my camera..

If those who doubt faith is or is a necessary facet of hope , I don’t think they’ve reached the darkest of moments that life can give. For it is those dark moments that you take one more step for one more second of one more day, leaving the pain of yesterday and walking into the hope of tomorrow. It is that hope of tomorrow that gives us the joy of today through faith.
