and Purposeful Prose
Life is filled with hills and valleys It's sometimes up, but then it's down Smiles are mixed with tears and troubles But my Jesus' wears the crown. He's working on my reborn heart Through the hardships I endure With a gentle voice He softly speaks Through the noise of a fallen world. My human nature [...]
[...deeper into the path...] A Pilgrimage takes one on a long journey. Usually to a foreign country. As followers of Christ that country is heaven. However, God also takes us on our own individualized journeys that may lead us to unimaged places here on earth. "Faith motivated Abraham to obey God’s call and leave the [...]
My first thought was this: I don't surrender well. This isn’t entirely true. (I'm hard on myself.) I've been struggling, but I struggle just about as much as any other person does. I'm still moving forward. I've accepted Jesus and I appreciate surrender---that is, that Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth, and [...]
My mind is tired The path is worn I've been pushing up this hill forlorn The weight of another day ahead The road long traveled Is wearing my tread. But I still have breath And I'm still alive The way isn't clear But I still can rise I can’t see the answers But I'm still [...]
Hello, I've missed you. I've missed all of you. Life does take some twists, turns and detours doesn’t it? Yes, it does. However, I've truly been missing writing, reading and fellowship. Therefore, I'm aiming to start blogging again once a week. Wednesday sounds like a plan! Consider this my return to blogging. On the 23rd [...]
If you're still following me, thank you. It's nice to have some friends and family come along for the ride. I'm not quite back to blogging, yet, but I wanted to pop in and share a bit of the journey with you. While I've been away I've been working towards acquiring my learners license. I [...]
Another day without rest Fighting with feelings Feeling trapped and deflated But knowing God's timing is best. Another day she is blessed Drawn by a notion She's caught in emotions But knowing she'll fly from her nest. Given time and great patience Steadfastness and raisins (What? They couldn't hurt) For God is both gracious and [...]
In your garden I'm always at peace Everything thrives We are Your bee hive. In your garden the future is bright I soak up Your rays And drink in Your light. There's no struggle I have no need For I rest You provide As we sit side by side. There's no worry I'm where I [...]
Sometimes we forget (or perhaps you don't even know), that God wants to show us that He is strong and able. He wants to be known by the world for who He is and what He can do. Don't we all desire to be known? To really be seen and understood? How much more do [...]
Mold me Sculpt me Make me who I'm meant to be. Teach me Show me I want to be that soul set free. Don't leave me this way, Lord I'm going out on a limb If I don't learn to fly I'll stay stuck here within. Carve me Create me Till you see in me [...]
