jasmine_v shared a letter in the
Poetry group 8 months, 2 weeks agoRevelation
Jasmine I ValenzuelaIf God came now , Would you be ready?
Defend yourself by saying ,
“But I go to church on Sundays already?!”
“I give money to the poor and I don’t bet on scores ,
I go to church already….”What if the sky opened like curtains ?
You try to remember a message of any sermon ,
You thought you had more time , that’s for certain..What if his time doesn’t come but yours does ?
And the meet of his face steals the air from your lungs ?
Well , It was only borrowed….
Used it to get high ,Thinking you still have tomorrowWhat if you get to his feet, ?
all your sins on repeat ..
All those times he offered you the prize,
You ignored it by trying to compete?
Many times you failed him and expect him to STILL complete …Live now, worry about him later
Not like 39 gashes kept him alive,
So His 40 becomes our savior…It’s not like,,.. from the ground his blood cries ,
What a gift ,yet we still choose to die
What a trip, yet we still choose to fly.
What a grip , the enemy has on your lives
What a fix, to choose the one the world deniesWe don’t fit in and that’s just fine.
Not one person can give you
what your lips won’t say but it’s stuck on your mind ,
He reads between our lines ,
In the stories he’s written but still have not come to time.The past is his present but your future .
No money or jewels can’t make you any newerWhat if he walked down the path to meet you halfway?
Would you have him wait
till there’s a time you no longer want to stay and you can’t take it another day?
When we hit the dead end , we ask him to make a way …
We only notice we’re far from home
when what feeds us doesn’t stay
It leaves us astray , looking for more ways ,
To fill a void ,that’s been made
So only he can have that space ,
that secret placeIf he came now we’re all going down,
Look around , nothing but winds surrounds
.
The lost sheep that he went to keep,
they rejected him too many times
so now they weep.Made in his image , but a reflection of what the enemy perceives
without giving it life , it can’t conceiveSo now we carry the chains ,
Locked in to our veins ..
By feeding the flesh.
Stuck in the mud ,
With sour seeds and spiced buds ,
our fruits were rotten.
While his is fresh.before I die, I hope I get it right
So when my eyes open on the other side,
It’s not darkness that meets me but it’s The Light.Add electrolytes to your water and give yourself the hydration you need.details here-
Wow Jasmine! This piece is amazing. I am sure you are getting it right. And you already are the LIGHT. This is extremely creative and flows so well. Thank you for sharing. <3 Lauren

Jasmine,
Your poem is amazing! This is a question I ask myself often. What if today was the day Jesus cracked the sky? I wouldn’t be ready. As close as I think I am with God, it really puts it into perspective just how disrespectful we really are to our Abba Father. Thank you for sharing! I am sorry I did not get back to you on your friend…read more

jasmine_v shared a letter in the
Women's Empowerment group 9 months agoDon’t call me
Jasmine I ValenzuelaDon’t call me emotional, I’m just damaged
Confident by looks , insecure by my baggage
I can tell in your eyes , you’ve just had it
Different mindsets , you don’t speak my languageHold on to me , I’m letting loose
Looks like tough love disguised in abuse.
You’re the artist and I was the muse
To your troubled mind ,
Never found the peace you looked for and broke to find.And then our demons became a hive mind
Now I’m like you and I left me behind.
Don’t call me sensitive
Because you’re not emotionally inclinedDon’t call me weak , I just couldn’t speak
Your words became flesh and had his grip over meI couldn’t talk , and on my door God never knocked
Or that’s how I used to feel
Without realizing I gave the enemy my body so that sealed the deal
3 am I’m kneeling asking God to healDon’t call me stupid, I was lost
Unknown of my identity
so that was the cost ..Add electrolytes to your water and give yourself the hydration you need.details here-
Jasmine, this is so powerful. I am sorry you were in such a toxic situation, but it sounds like you are seeing it for what it was and finding your power. Continue to rise and heal. There is so much more and better ahead of you. Sending you lots and lots of hugs. <3 Lauren

jasmine_v shared a letter in the
Poetry group 9 months agoPraised Be
Jasmine I ValenzuelaI pray I find love like I’ve found in you
I’ve read the words in proving you are true
I’ve felt your presence and then I became new
Who would have known all the things you could doWith my broken pieces , you turn it to art
With dark upon me , this is just the start
You’ve always looked out for me. It’s time I do my part
Saved by your name , your voice marked my heartIt’s you and I. I’m not alone
Grace and love is all you’ve shown
My best friend fights for me on the side of your throne
Held by your spirit, my pieces are sownYou call me by my name
And you heal all my shame .
I’ll never be the same
You and I together, we’re breaking the chains
They live in vain and your truth still remains ,
Wolf Pastors murder our spirits,
then rebuke the spirit of CainI pray for revival, it’s the city of the dead
Let them bury themselves were the words that you said
Let your light spark up a purpose
And they choose you instead
Because living by flesh
You might as well be dead
Living in lies , digesting words We’ve been fed
We’re breaking hearts and
Not breaking bread
Oh the lies we’ve been fed !You lift me up, while they’ve let me down
For each victory , you put a jewel on my crownAnd for each tear , you hold me near
I’m not afraid, for you put no spirit of fearIn your presence the enemy flees
In your light , darkness cant beYour blood covers me and I’m free
I plant the seeds
and watch
them grow like treesAs the word says ,
at my highest
or my lowest,
you are with me
Praise beAdd electrolytes to your water and give yourself the hydration you need.details here-
Aww Jasmine, I am so happy to read this poem and see you have someone in your life that adds light to your life as opposed to darkness. Thank you for this beautiful piece. I will be sharing it in today’s newsletter! So keep on the lookout for it. <3 Lauren

Write a letter or poem to your younger self sharing what you love most about him/her 9 months, 1 weeks agoInnocent
Jasmine I ValenzuelaThe innocence , the optimism. You were so full of love.
You gave your ALL to the stars above.
You never looked back or second guessed,
Not a doubt in your heart you let progress.
I loved how hopeful and unaware you are.
I love how your unique personality took you so far.
Separated from the rest and yet you passed the “test”,
I love how you always did your best.
I love that you have not learned about life yet,
I love that you live with no regrets.
Sitting in my Disney decorated room ,
unaware of any threats,
it’s YOU
I’ll never forget ……Voting is closed

Thank you for sending me a friend request, that was the first one I ever got! Your poem spoke volumes to me, and you have a nice writing style. I wish I knew how to send personal messages-just because I guess. But I have 2 books I wrote, 1. Falling Shadows and 2. Rising Shadows. Now I’m on my 3rd one called, “We do Recover”. Yes, their poem books.…read more

Jasmine, I love the way you love your younger self! I think we all miss that childhood innocence and optimism, but we know that we can never get it back once we grow up. We can live without regrets when we don’t know about the curveballs life will throw at us, and this is a beautiful time in our lives that we should cherish. Thank you for sharing!
