Days of August Majesty

Behold, it is time for another feature! As always, I feature works which have under 300 faves, with two exceptions I couldn't resist, can you guess them? The last two works are literature, an especially unappreciated category, so please have a look! Enjoy, and have a blessed day!! -Debra

So many people blame God for all of their afflictions
Even though they know they've never made him part of their decisions
Angry and confused, they may say "God, why is it that you hate me!?"
But have you even opened the book with all His answers lately?
If you think giving God away (removing) so that you can make a bad relationship work is a good idea, then there is no limit to what you'll give away to try and make that person you put above God happy. You'll give away your self-worth, dignity, integrity, and everything else you had of value because you can't allow something to fail that through disobedience you invested so much into it. You don't want to be wrong, you'll give anything to prove that you made the right choice. You've removed God because you felt He was restricting your ability to please the person you are with. In the end you find out there is nothing you can give a person to satisfy them, your pride took you to a place you'd never thought you'd be but glory to God, tha  (True) Halo
It's what angels wear,
this crown of thorns, to keep them
grounded to the earth
instead of wings, lifting them
out of reach from their calling.
At least, stay near me.
Trade with me your crown of storms
and your thread-bare clothes,
revealing neither boy nor girl,
to be your guardian one.
