My God Is An Awesome God

My god is an awesome god

My God is an awesome God…my portion, my strength, my all.

I begin most days with prayer and meditation during my morning workouts.  The places my mind travels to while running those miles on the treadmill, set the framework for how I deal with whatever challenges I may face.  Recently, the verse from scripture below spoke to me and everything that it inspired within me, is what I’ve written in this poem.  May your day be filled with the things that inspire you as well.

“Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for The Lord God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6) Continue reading

A Quote to Carry You – July 29, 2013

July 29,2013

 

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

I have long admired these words; they have helped to bring me back to basic truths when I have gotten away from them.  Everyone has worth and a purpose in life.  I believe that we all have the responsibility to live up to what we were meant to be. May you always live in a way that honors that, no matter what the circumstances, let others see and know your best at all times.

Peace,

Felecia

Peace

Peace

What do you think of when you think of “peace?”  What imagery comes to your mind?  I recently went to a concert at the site where the original Woodstock Music Festival was held…the well-known “peace sign” spoke its message throughout that place.  At the burial site at my grandmother’s funeral, a flock of white doves was released into the air…I remember thinking of how “peaceful” they looked as they dressed the skies with their quiet beauty.  Sometimes, I think of it when the splendor of a breathtaking piece of music makes its way through my ears and into my soul, and I pause for a moment to let it serenade my heart with its melody.

Peace. It means so many things to so many people. Continue reading

Silence

I waited for you all day long,

but you would not come…silence.

My heart cried out to you,

but you would not hear me…silence.

My arms reached out for you,

but you refused my embrace…silence.

My tears are shedding, I am broken,

but you do not care…silence. Continue reading

Love, the heart of the matter

Love, the heart of the matter

“Tulips” colored pencil drawing, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

 

A dear friend of mine once asked me what I thought about God, as related to His creation…

Love, the heart of the matter.

In my opinion, the human body is the most incredible of all created things…for it was created in God’s image. In His image;  what an awesome thing to ponder. We cannot comprehend it, yet, we are wonderfully made. Continue reading

Dance…Poetry in Motion

Dance - poetry in motion

“Spring” graphite pencil drawing, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

“Move, dance, let your body write its own poem.”

Dance…Poetry In Motion
A body in motion,
A river flowing…
Connected, never far apart.
A figure swaying to her inner rhythm,
A trickling stream rushing toward the open sea,
Silence gives way to a single note,
The body awakens; the hint of a dance
The chord has been struck, there is no turning back,
Hear the music, breathe in the melody,
Linger there, let it guide you freely,
Can you feel it?
Take the first step, never regret it…
A promise never failed…live your dream,
Become it! Continue reading
