Jesus Christ will soon return.
Let this Word now sink in.
For it’s been a hard time with some things,
I have taken it “on the chin.”
And yes, there have been days
When I believed I’d never win;
So many trials and tribulations
In a world that’s filled with sin.
The doubts seemed to take over,
Faith stuck in sinking sand,
Still wading through this trial,
On Christ the solid rock I stand.
The scriptures give me comfort,
They are my source of hope
Especially when I feel like I’m hanging
On the short end of a rope.
The cliff lies straight beneath me
But the Lord will lift me up.
He is my manna, my reward.
Behold the bread, the cup.
I overcome by Jesus’ blood
And by my testimony.
Trust Him to come through each time.
His words are never phony.
Though weeping may last for a night,
Joy comes after mourning.
We must prepare for Christ’s return,
Which will come without warning.
Now is the time to heed the warning.

C.R. Flamingbush grew up in Wheaton, Illinois and graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in German and linguistics. After working seven years for the Department of Defense (an easy job), she took on the most difficult challenge in the world: a lifetime career of raising four children. Along the way she developed a passion for writing Christian superhero fantasy. She enjoys humor because it's Biblical (see the second psalm) and she loves to make people laugh - whether through her writings, her art, or just by being herself. Writing fantasy is her way of poking fun at human foibles and all the ridiculous ideas that so easily beset the human race, while at the same time honoring God in every way she can.
Flamingbush has been a member of Faithwriters since 2010, and several of her winning contest entries have been published by Fresh Air Press. She likes Fan Story and has been a Narnia fan since the age of ten. In terms of influence, she aspires to be the next C.S. Lewis but has quite a ways to go in that regard. Speed of Sight, a Superhero Adventure, is her first novel. A sequel is in the works.
