You Can Run But You Can’t Hide! Have you ever tried to play ‘Hide and Seek’ with God? Are you playing the game with Him right now? If so, how is that going for you? I’m just going to take a wild guess and say, “I bet you’re losing!” If we “run” like Jonah and “do” like […]

My head remains down and focused at His feet as the surrounding fire rages all around me. I replace my vision of the struggle with a vision of the cross instead. I do not see the struggle ~ I see Christ who has already conquered the struggle. I am choosing not to focus on the […]

Sometimes God calms the storm… sometimes He lets the storm rage and calms His child.

With you as my shepherd, I never have needs Down paths of righteousness, you always lead Now as I go through the valley of shadows dear Lord Take my hand one last time and I will follow REFRAIN: Oh, my Lord, I’m so ready to leave this world So take my hand and lead me […]

A shepherd’s care for his flock Is not to be untold He shares a plea to keep his sheep Safe within its folds. Yet as he does, if one should stray Into the cold fields alone He’ll follow them and earnestly seek To save their lives, their souls. Why such concern for a wandering lamb? […]

I may fear, but will not fail To win this fight that is so real. I will soar although, I crawl Can’t keep me down though, I may fall. My reward is heaven bound Real treasure here is never found. Give me comfort, give me peace Help me Jesus, help me please!

I asked for riches that I might be happy; I was given Christ that I might be rich. I asked for healing that I might be in control; I was allowed to suffer that I might surrender. I asked for independence that I might do my own will; I was given free will that I […]

The truth you did not want to hear Though you acted most sincere You coaxed and claimed it was safe You pledged acceptance – I showed my face! So, my story I did reveal Not all, but parts enough to seal The fate you chose to then bestow Upon my heart and my soul. Quick […]

My Christmas Confession… So, I am used to being on the giving side of things and it is difficult for me to accept help. Because of the way I grew up and the life I’ve lived, I have had to be very independent and learn to do most things on my own. This has never […]
