Bookends                     by Clara Mitchell




On one end of my life,

I have found a deeper place

with God.

The deeper place

Anchors my devotions.

On the other end of my life,

It is like a dead end.

Two bookends to my life.

My life evolves into chapters.


The in between times of my life

Are found in these bookends.

The warfare is evident.

As long as I push against the dead end--

I will have the right outcome.



Turning the pages of the chapters of my life,

Is turning away from the old life. (II Cor 5:17)

The anchor goes deep so not to drift.

The changes will help me finish my life.

The new creation finds its place and prevents dead ends.


Simple child like faith in God's son-

Jesus will wash our sins away.

Repent and be made whole while there is time-

Step out of the in between life

And enter into eternal life.

  by Clara Mitchell   To be or not to be? Hamlet's question is still and remains very interesting. What if God had asked the same question at the start of creation? Instead of Light be, what if He had asked Light be or not to be? God was teaching us as our creator from the get go. Words can create what we cannot see. Words when spoken create an energy around us. The energy takes shape to form our world. Our faith in God's Word is activated as we decree it. Faith builds on scriptures and it is a substance. In today's language it is a controlled substance. Faith is in God's control and we wait for His Word to activate. God aligns us to His will for His glory. His plan is always higher than our own. Seeking God requires anyone one of us to believe. Without faith, we cannot please God. But with faith many rewards are given by God To those who diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

At the Beach by Clara Mitchell

  The sand is soft on the soles of my feet.  My thoughts are drifting into sand dunes.  One thought takes me back--  to my summer days at the beach.   Then I hear the scripture, “Time is short”. (I Cor 7:29 KJV)  This scripture is like a Clarion Bell calling all of us--  Single or married to serve.  Day dreamers will miss their turn to serve. Day planners serve while there are still open windows of time to fill.

Winds of Change Continue

Winds of Change Continue         by Clara Mitchell 4/21/2024 Am I losing my touch? I mean, am I out of touch? My mood moves like a child's swing, What is pushing me to go higher? Is it God or is it me, Or is it both? My life is going in many new directions. It is because of the winds of change set over me. The winds will die down soon- As soon as the changes take hold of me. Until that time, I am looking down from a whirlwind. What changes will God arrange That cause such mighty winds to blow? Is there a way to know my next? I am held in suspense by a spiritual whirlwind. The Holy Spirit calls me to deeper faith. I am no longer looking down from this whirlwind. When I grow in faith, I cannot remain the same. Over time, other winds of change Will remove more doubt and unbelief. Faith lifts me higher. Now I can move mountains. The Holy Spirit is my guide into all truth. (John 16:13) He sends the winds of change at the...
