the kry

the troublemakers,
the ones who break stuff ,
getting discouraged.
feels like we are struggling ...
pray that God moves.
whatever is holding some people
broken down
a lot of pride
sucking the life
we have thrown our passion and love into...
giving all we had
absorbed in the worship
blank stares
lifeless
we stepped it up
really blank looks
i'm worried
just pray about...
anything really.

:::thoughts taken from Tracey Krahn:::

hey! sorry - it's been a little while since i've blogged. life gets kinda crazy here sometimes. i've been wanting to publish this poem for some time, i've just never gotten around to it until now. poetry is an amazing thing in that it's never wrong. i started writing poetry when i was in about grade 7. i mostly just wanted to write something inspiring or just be able to write something that only made sense to me yet regarded as a "written work"...that may or may not make sense to some. you can't be told that your poem sucks or that's it's bad because poetry is like art ... it makes sense to some (even very few) but it can speak volumes to those few. and so i write.

this poem was written to me in an email. really tracey, God bless her heart, was just telling me about some struggles she was having but there was a poem coming through the paragraphs. it was a poem that cried about the complacency of youth today...some of the lines in the poem are not complete sentences...let her emotion come through the words and i think you'll understand where she's coming from. my favorite parts are where she says "pray that God moves" and then she seems like she is discouraged by what she sees in people...but she still returns to God in the end "just pray about...anything really". i know that sometimes life gets discouraging and even frustrating when the world, our church, and our friends don't share the same passion to reach people with God's love but return to God - always, always return to Him. He will show you the way and He will encourage you. persevere and never stop trying to share your passion with those around you. thank you Tracey for letting me publish this. you're doing awesome!
