DESERT SPIRITUALITY
TO TRAVEL THROUGH FEARS AND DOUBT
TO SEE THE TRUTH OF MY INNER SELF
THE JUDGMENTAL HEART AND UNKNOWN SIN,
IMPERFECTION
AND UNFORGIVENESS WITHIN.
THIS DESERT WILL NEVER BLOOM,
THE
DARKNESS OF MY SOUL CONSUMES.
THE SILENCE OF MY HEART ALONE,
BEATING
SOUNDS OF SORROWFUL GROANS.
I WILL NOT RUN. I WILL NOT HIDE,
THOUGH PAIN AND SADDNESS REMAIN INSIDE.
I WILL NOT STOP. I WILL NOT MOVE,
THOUGH
FALSE COMFORT
FOR MY SOUL COULD SOOTH.
THE CLOUD OF DARKNESS BLOCKS MY SIGHT,
BUT
I SIT AND WAIT FOR A GLIMPSE OF LIGHT.
THE DESERT WIND STIRS MY HEART.
THE COLDNESS IN MY SOUL DEPARTS.
AS I SEE BEFORE ME, ALL THAT I AM
AND DIG MY FEET INTO THE DESERT SAND,
I
FEEL THE WARMTH OF THE STIRRING WIND
FEEDING A FIRE THAT BURNS WITHIN.
THOUGH
ALL AROUND IS THE DARKEST NIGHT
WITHOUT A SINGLE STAR INSIGHT.
THE FLAME WITHIN MY HEART IGNITES,
FUELED
WITH FIRE FROM HEAVEN'S LIGHT.
ALL THAT I AM IS IMMERSED IN FLAMES.
STANDING NAKED AND FILLED WITH SHAME.
I WANT TO RUN. I WANT TO HIDE,
FOR FEAR OF WHAT I'LL SEE INSIDE.
THE DESERT WIND WHISPERS MY NAME,
CALLING ME OUT FROM THE CONSUMING FLAME.
AS I EMERGE, A NEWNESS SHOWS THROUGH
POSSESING A LIGHT IN MY HEART THAT IS TRUE.
AS I OPEN MY EYES FOR THE FIRST TIME
I SEARCH MY DESERT FOR A NEW SIGN
THE SAND AND THE DARKNESS STILL REMAIN
EVERYTHING
AROUND ME LOOKS JUST THE SAME.
I LOOK AT MY FEET DUG INTO THE SAND.
A BLOSOM IS GROWING WHERE I TOOK MY STAND.
THE
DESERT IN BLOOM,
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE SIGHT.
IF
ALL DARE TO STAND IN GOD'S HOLY LIGHT.
THROUGH TEARS OF REPENTANCE
A RIVER NOW
FLOWS.
FROM ALL WHO DARE STAND,
A GARDEN NOW
GROWS.
THROUGH THE FLAMES OF GOD'S SPIRIT
LOVE WILL
ABOUND
AND
ALL WHO ARE LOST IN DARKNESS
WILL BE FOUND.

OK! I WENT INTO MY ARCHIVES. I FIXED COPIES A LITTLE. I PUT POEMS ON MY THUMB DRIVE. BROUGHT THEM OVER TO MY NEW/USED LAPTOP. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO COPY OR PASTE (IT IS A RIGHT CLICK) I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WHYS??
Time of change in my life. Moving forward.
Daring to trust again. And Learn!
FACING FEARS
HEAD
ON!
FORWARD
MARCH!
FACING
FEARS
ALONE!
WALKING
ON WATER
TAKING THE FIRST STEP.
NOT KNOW HOW
DEEP IT WILL BE.
TO
BE TRULY FREE
TIE
YOURSELF TO JESUS
AND FOLLOW WHERE
HIS SPIRIT LEADS.
LET GO OF FEAR
THERE IS NO ROOM
LEARN TO TRUST
SEE AND BELEIVE!
WORDS BY NEBShibles
NEBS @2000
HOLY SPIRIT
HOLY
SPIRIT IS THE FULLNESS
OF
GOD’S LOVE FOR US.
EVERYDAY
WE ARE INVITED
TO
THE BANQUET TABLE.
GOD IS LOVE!
THE
GREATER THE LOVE
FOR
GOD !
THE
GREATER OUR LOVE
FOR
OTHERS.
WE
MAY BE COMFORTABLE
BEING
A TINY TEA CUP
WHEN
GOD WANTS US TO BE
A
LOVELY CHALICE!
FREE
TO GET OLD
MEASURE
OF HIS POWER
IS
THE MEASURE OF SURRENDER
BE
WILLING TO RISK
GOD
IS OUR SECURITY!
WORDS BY NEBShibles
NEBS @ UNK.
HOPE
LIVELY
HOPE TO GO ON!
AVAILABLE
RIGHT NOW
AND
EVERY DAY!
WITH TROUBLE THERE IS
HOPE
BEYOND TRIALS
ALL
WILL WORK FOR GOOD!
BE
AWARE OF GOD
IN
ALL OF LIFE
BE
AWARE OF HIS HAND
IN
ALL OUR TRIALS!
BELIEVE
!
HAVE
HOPE! IN PATIENCE
HAVING
A VISION
WISDOM AND FAITH.
WORDS BY NEBShibles
NEBS
@2001
LET GO OF YOURSELF
LET
GO OF YOURSELF
IN
THE OCEAN OF
GOD
LET
JESUS BE YOUR PILOT
MASTER
OF YOUR SOUL.
STAND
IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST
SO
YOUR LIFE IS AN OVERFLOW
OF
HIS SPIRIT!
FORGET
WHAT IS BEHIND
PRESS
FORWARD
TO
WHAT IS AHEAD!
TOUGH
LOVE CAN BRING PAIN.
IT
LEAD JESUS TO CRUCIFIXION
TO
RESURRECTION.
NO
ONE HAS TO STRAIN
TO
WHAT’S AHEAD
BUT
TO GROW
BE
WILLING TO GRASP
NEW
OPPORTUNITIES.

TRANSITIONS
THINK
ABOUT THE EGG AND THE SEED
THE
COMMONNESS OF EACH,
GOD
HAS TREMENDOUS LESSONS
IN
THE NATURAL SCHEME
HIS
CREATION STORY
CONTAINED
IN A SHELL!
A
HARD PROTECTIVE COVERING
CREATION
HELD WITHIN
TO LIVE AND GROW
THE OUTER SHELL MUST BE
SOFTENED AND BREAK.
THE EGG MUST BE FERTILIZED
AND
WARMED TO BE TRANSFORMED
THE
SEED MUST BE PLANTED IN MY HEART
AND
PUSH A TENDER ROOT
BEYOND
THE SHELL.
CONSIDER
LOVE IN A COCOON
SPUN
OF THE FINEST SILK
AND
THE BEAUTY OF A BUTTERFLY
EMERGING
FOR FIRST FLIGHT
TRANSITIONS
FROM ONE STAGE TO ANOTHER
GOD
HELP ME THROUGH THE STAGES
YOU
HAVE PLACED BEFORE ME
TEACH
ME WELL!
NEBS@ 2002
RAMBLING AGAIN!
WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU/ME IS WHAT IT IS! I HAVE WORDS BY NEBS ALL OVER THE PLACE SINCE 1960'S AND NEED TO PLACE PERFECTION ON THE BACK SHELF FOR TODAY OTHERWISE I'LL NEVER TAKE THE FIRST STEPS. YESTERDAY I LOST MY INTERNET CONNECTION.
SOMEDAY I WILL SHARE THE VICTORIES THROUGH THE STRUGGLES. IF YOU ARE TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY RAMBLINGS, I'M SURE WE COULD EACH SHARE.
TO WIN THE BATTLE AND NOT GIVE UP. THANK GOD HE HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT THIS IS MY NEXT STEP BEFORE LEAVING FOR DEEPER WATERS.... AMEN&AMEN

PEACE
LEARN TO LET THINGS HAPPEN
EASILY AND NATURALLY
LEARN TO LET EVENTS AND OUR PARTICIPATION FALL INTO PLACE!
WE CAN GO WITH THE FLOW
TAKE THE WORLD OFF OUR SHOULDERS AND
LET GOD EASE US INTO WHERE WE NEED TO BE! NEBShibles JULY 2000
