Hello Everyone!

I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all visitors of my blog. My name is Carlos Navarrete. I am originally from New York, New York, but now reside in St. Louis, Missouri. I am happily married to the woman that God has blessed me with. We are firm believers in Jesus Christ and, we are in the process of exploring different ways in which we can accomplish the Lord's work and share his good news. Currently, I am attending classes at a university and have roughly one semester left til graduation. Lord willing everything will go well and, I can finally obtain my degree in communications. This is my very first blog and I am excited to share with you all what the Lord wants me to share. I enjoy writing spiritual poems and I usually read them at my church on Sundays. The motive of my blogs is to inspire fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. I also want to share love, hope, and faith to my fellow Christ followers, and even help and encourage those who are new followers. I do my best to study the Lord's words each day and it is a constant progress towards my spiritual growth. This walk with Christ is a journey; and each day we are given the opportunity to learn and grow. I believe as a result of this blog, we can all share and learn more. I pray that the Lord guides my words so that they may reach out to those in need. What inspires me to write my poems is to simply praise and magnify the, Lord. I am quite busy with school and work; therefore, for the moment I will work hard to post my poems just on Sundays here at my blog. If I am able to find more time to discuss other interesting topics, I will gladly share them here with you. Below, you will see my first poem followed by inspirational bible quotes. I hope you all enjoy my poems and find some inspiration to further strengthen your journey towards, Jesus Christ. May the Lord always be with you all and have a blessed evening.

Under Construction



In this walk with Christ, we are under construction.
We are a work in progress and just like prayer progress is a daily thing. 
When builders start construction on a building, they see that process till the end. 
And just like buildings, we are all created differently. Now because we are all
created differently, we all have different completion times. Every building you see today
were not completed on the same hour, day, month, or year. Even the Twin Towers; that
once stood tall in, New York City, were not completed on the same day. Some buildings 
take months; even years to be completed. Similarly, so do we. The enemy often times
tries to distract us from our construction with lies that we will never be righteous or saved.
He tempts us with things that will hinder the progress of our construction. But in my hour 
of temptation and weakness, I must remind him that I am under construction by the best builder ever known. Though, my construction is incomplete it is still in progress, and some day just like the buildings I see that stand strong and tall, I too will be completed and stand strong and tall with righteous strength.

Inspirational Bible Quotes


Colossians 1:9-10 (ESV)

And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

Hey there folks. I've taken a break on the poems for a while; however, I will try to get back into them soon. In the meantime, I've decided to post up some pictures. Along with writing spiritual poetry, I enjoy taking pictures of God's glorious work in nature, architect, food, etc. I did mention that I will be doing more with my blog page so this is one way I will expand on it. I will try to keep my blog post up to date. My wife takes care of the videos, so if you want to check out our adventures, please visit her Youtube channel: Ebony Navarrete . I hope you all enjoy the pictures that I post up on this page. God Bless.

The Healer

Hey there, friends. I pray that everyone is doing well. For this post, I would like to talk about healing. Healing is something that can be hard to comprehend. At times, we may encounter situations so painful that it seems like healing is the last thing to happen to us. Maybe you was hurt by someone that committed such an act that left you with deep scars. Or perhaps you have been listening to the same lies the enemy has been telling you for years, all while focusing so much on the pain and fail to focus on the healing that the Lord is willing to give you. Everyone is going to have a different scenario and probably face some difficulty in finding healing. Friends, I tell you today, that no matter what pain you are facing healing is surely on the way. The great news I have today is that our Father in Heaven can heal anything, even a broken heart. Although, we do have to do our part to let the process of healing begin. Maybe by letting go of the resentment you hold towards the perso...

Unconditional Love

Hello everyone, and welcome back. I hope you all had a wonderful week. It has been quite busy for me from studying for a test, catching up on homework, and work. But, I made it through another week and getting ready for the next. This evening, I want to talk about love. Love is something very important and even fundamental in this journey with, Christ. Before I started this journey, I did not truly understand what love really was. True, unconditional love. And as I am growing, I am still learning more of what it means to truly love not just family, friends, and loved ones; but, even others whom have no biological or personal ties to me. Even for individuals whom I use to call my enemies. It is the kind of love that only, Jesus can give and teach us of. Each day we may believe that we are capable of such an act. We may think, " I'm a kind enough person and can certainly show love. But, put yourself in a situation where someone has done wrong to you. If someone has spo...
