A swarm of words,

none align,

dreams sink,

hope fades.

      Thank you, Brother, and I appreciate you Reading and Commenting. Yeah, I think I tackled this prompt at a bad time 😂.

      Thanks for the logo comment! Phoebe helped me figure out how to create them and even gave me a few to use. Now I’m a logo-creating fool 😂. I learned something new 🎨.

        Never apologize, Willie. Poetry isn’t always pretty; it’s full of emotions that we feel wherever they may come from deep inside our hearts and souls. Your poem is beautiful.

    Poems say a lot about what we’re feeling or experiencing at any given time in life. There’s no wrong way to say them, brother! Perhaps I misunderstood, hope sharing my words is okay! 😊💛🙏🙏🙏

    😊🙏🏻 Wonderful Willie, you worked well with words, leaving us with a beautiful message that leads us to deep reflections. In a short sentence, we can enter a world of reflections, in different senses of our existence, our role in the world, our dreams, reality, a mix of all emotions in one heart and a mix of thoughts in one brain. And so, we walk on this journey. Thank you for sharing this beautiful sentence with us. Have a blessed Sunday! 😊🙏🏻🦁💭

      I appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective.

      Wishing you a blessed Sunday as well 🦁.

I’m Willie

Hello and Welcome to my Website.
My name is William Torres, but my family and friends call me Willie. It is a pleasure to be here with you today, and I am excited to share my faith journey with you.

My journey has been amazing and fulfilling as a new Christian. I have seen God work in my life in ways I never could have imagined. I have grown closer to my faith and have seen Him work in my life and the lives of those around me. I am truly blessed to call myself a Christian, and I am excited to continue to grow in my faith.

I believe that I have come a long way in life. Over the years, I have worked hard to become a better man, husband to Frances Torres, and father to our children. I have strived to be a good friend and companion to those I have been fortunate to build relationships with. I have learned to appreciate the small moments of joy and fulfillment that come with every human connection.

I began writing stories that I believe were inspired by the Holy Spirit. These stories are my testimonies about the different trials I have gone through, and how the Lord has helped me to overcome them. Through this process, I’ve discovered that I can forgive those I once vowed to never forgive, and in turn, my relationships with them have been restored. They are now a huge blessing and a special part of my life.

I hope that through my writing I can be a source of encouragement to other people in their faith and relationship with the Lord. I pray that those who read my words will be blessed by the Lord and find strength and comfort in His Word.

To be honest, I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect, but it is in this place of acceptance that I am able to truly worship a God who is. His infinite love brings me joy, strength, and peace, and I am thankful for the privilege of being able to serve Him.

I have also started a Social Media Ministry on Facebook, which I invite you to visit here. Being Crazy For Christ is a platform where I share my journey of faith, and I am also on YouTube – Willie Torres Jr. and I am excited to see all that God will do through it.

This is my hope, and I’m so thankful for it. I’m thankful for the love of Jesus, and I’m thankful for the chance to grow in Him together with you.

You Are Loved

Willie Torres Jr.
