This is My Awakening

This book you are holding in your hands, is the wrestling mat between me and God. What happens after you respond to the calling God has over your life? We are constantly being transformed from one degree of glory to another with unveiled eyes (2 Corinthians 3:18). I found this process feels more like a cycle instead of linear progress. Instead of constantly moving forward and backward, I feel myself going around and around in an upward spiral. Like a caterpillar that gives way to 'dying' so that his new, glorified life may begin, except instead of once, it keeps occurring in different areas of my life. The glorious thing is that when awake from a dry spell, we awake more and more alive each time God brings us back. Each time he takes us back to the simplicity of the gospel and the Gospel becomes sweeter and sweeter. This poetry book tackles break-ups, heart issues, blue collar work, and most importantly, growing in Christ in a very honest and real way. Most poetry books of this generation are very good at describing the depravity and hurt we feel as humans but very few provide a healing over those wounds that will last. Taste these words and see the Lord is good and can bring light and healing to the darkest parts of us.
