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 […]

How good is grief for our growth It makes us travel certain roads Down difficult paths we would never venture If not forced to, by such displeasure. Grief refines us, makes us grow It begs us to seek Him and search our souls Such levels of intimacy with the Lord Can never be taught, or […]

Father God, I wish to be so close I can feel your breathe upon my face That your heart may beat in time to mine And I get lost within your gaze. I wish to be so close That your whisper is all I hear Cradle me within your arms Shelter me from fear. I […]

May my words fall silent If my tongue wants to lie. May my pride be exposed If I become haughty in life. May my jealousy be subdued If I envy what isn’t mine. May my anger be dissolved If I seek revenge for a wrong. May my greed be squandered If I desire selfish pleasures. […]

When struggles are present Will I remember Your name? Do I focus on all that eludes Or trust with unwavering faith? When tears are shed And fear rears its head, Do I foster those thoughts Or believe You instead? A little discomfort may be good for the soul To make me think and help me […]

Insecure… as a little girl. I love mommy and daddy, I silently cry As I shake and tremble throughout the night Always praying they will hold me tight. Naked images all around Sex in my home is something foul It makes a grown man big and proud To use his women and throw them around. […]

Many times it’s come to mind… “Your tears are o.k. here” he said, so kind. I’m always afraid to let them fall to allow these feelings which are so raw. I have permission to just be myself insecurity and weakness revealed, no doubt. To become that vulnerable and stripped of my pride it frightens and […]

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!
