A Poem of Pain

March 1st – The Day After April: Today I wake and feel even lonelier, but I see positive potential. My heart shook much like the quake, then the pain was gone. The arctic breeze formed the fortress, barricading my fragile heart with pain. - Tupac Shakur
He wrote this after his divorce with April. Notice the despair and wound, yet there is a thread of hope here. He vaguely alluded to it, but it's presence kept him focused and moving on. Was it from God? From within himself? From others? We don't know, but we know this.. he got up and kept walking. I can relate to the subject matter, but my hope was in Christ and who I am in Him. Yes, I got up and kept walking as well, but knowing God has my back and and my future.

Fasting and Prayer..

Jesus said in his Sermon on the Mount, "when you fast, when you pray, when you give.." Jesus expected us to fast, pray, and give. God lead me in these areas of growth and discipleship.
