Hi all, hello it is me! Surprise
okay so emojis still work.
Questions for you who know better than me!
1. On the topic of emojis, how do I bring up the emoji list on Eclipse?
2. How do I bring up formatting for Journals?
3. WHERE DO I FIND MY GROUP ADMIN/GROUP NOTIFICATIONS/FEEDBACK??? This is concerning. I assume we will all eventually be on this layout but I cannot figure out where to find this!
4. Do sharing thumbs/images still work in posts like these? Will stamps still work if I update my profile section on Eclipse?
5. I wanted to do a feature with this but I now no longer know how to get a thumb/image code to share on posts. How do I do this?
Send help. (ps. why is there no preview button??)
Broken Wings Amongst UsIn this world of always being told
What to do, when to do it
Everyone says to blend in
Mix your colors (you gotta change 'em)
With the color of black and white
Here we stand with broken wings
Torn apart because of the poison
Fed by those who believe
What's wrong is right and right is wrong
We're supposed to walk on the same
Ground as those who have chicken legs
Not say a word and zip our lips
God You know we're not meant to
Fall and break down like old and
rusty pieces of machinery
We're meant to fly high
In the midst of the storm and the rainbow
The rainbow of Your promise
Heal our broken wings
Stitch our souls back together
Remind us of Your grace
That always supplies
Shut the mouths of the lions
For the sake of Your Will
Give them the ability to listen
To the Good News the proper way
....
You see that little light in me
What's left of hope and confidence
That You'll deliver me out of
The trials that try to plunder
My body, mind and spirit
I'm in the hallway
Constantly telling myself
Hope for the Hopeless RomanticFragile and hopeless
As a beautiful lily
You claim yourself to be
Hopeless romantics we indeed are
We long for the best
Pray for no mess
The years to share with our
Beloved future spouses
From what I've observed
You look at the actions of love
I cannot see where your eyes
on what side of your face
I, however, can sense
Your deep longing for being
Able to provide protection for
The one whom you could share your passion
And dreams with
You long for a Juliet
I thirst for a kind Romeo
The Shakespearean characters
Who felt such a deep longing
For each others' souls
Your prose is nothing short of phenomenal
The poetry of an inspired artist
Who is inspired by others
Most importantly inspired by God
And all He provides for us
Even when we don't deserve it
So Gracious is He
What luck do I have
That I meet a beautiful fellow
One as kind as yourself
Your tender heart shows
With every reply to our comments
Surely it must be made from gold
Melded into the most rarest
And greatest of all jewelry
How
ConvictedConvicted
I am convicted.
My sin is unquestionable, my shame surrounds me.
I come up and around, but I find myself here again.
The things I’ve done, the words I’ve said.
What love do I deserve, what mercy could I ever be worthy of?
I work to improve, I promise to do better to get people to love me
but friends come and go, role models let me down
The morals I teach myself shows no difference to my heart.
I am lost and unexceptional.
I am convicted.
This life that I followed was to show love and life to broken souls.
It was to show them who I am.
I walked and I loved, it was not to please people.
For this path I was taken by them and punished.
I was beaten and laid down, I was tortured and cast out.
This happened for the people who taunted me.
These nails I received, this cross I carried.
This was all to find and redeem.
Innocent, yet condemned.
Crushed, but not destroyed
Killed, but fated to conquer death.
I am convicted
Peace on Earth!Peace on Earth! In those fields the angels declare.
They tell the world the Who, the Why and Where.
The banquet is made, the host declared
“All you folk, have you come prepared?”
It is not a king that forces people into line
An earthly kingdom that would last a short time.
We are not worthy to lay rich gifts at your throne
We only have our brokenness and our shame to own.
This foundational kingdom will endure for all of our days,
The Creator and the Created in what the lamb pays,
The first gift of Christmas, God perfect and pure.
“I can tell you what to do, I’m the Doctor with the cure!”
Such was this danger of our hearts being made free,
Satan sought to destroy it. His tool: Herod of Galilee,
He shed such blood in the Israel that he thought he controlled,
But the true king would safely journey away in the night cold.
His coming and return caused people to ponder
Would our land come back? Will the earth shake and thunder?
God on this Earth would be a man t
