"Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is everyone that retains her." (Proverbs 3:13,18)

It's all grasping
laboring for what isn't real
It's all striving
pulling at what we hope to feel

It's all futile
hiding from the truth
It's all wasted
digging to find proof

The evidence is lacking
the search ends in vain
All that we are holding
nothing but loss and pain

Why do we not get it?
Why do we constantly refuse?
Why do we dig through garbage
for the thing we cannot lose?

Lay upon the altar
let the fire consume
Until all is dust and ashes
the burning embers of you

When you are ready to be offered
When all becomes sterility
He will come and He will prove
to be all you ever dreamed that He would be...

    qUIET IN CHAOS

    Quiet in Chaos is a blog about nothing, everything, and all things inbetween…it’s a space, an ellipsis, a deep pause. Life can be chaotic, and often needs more moments of quiet…So join me as I share and give through the written word, the place I find my Quiet in Chaos…
