Desert Road

Desert Road

Image by Bob Bello from Pixabay Befuddled and bewildered.  She's dazed and confused  The heat is getting to her  And the meals are becoming few. She reaches for a drink But there isn't left a drop She sinks into the sand  And knows what she's forgot. She's forgotten when the sun was kind   She's forgotten [...]

Estranged

Estranged

Image by Dariusz Sankowski from Pixabay Here I sit again  Not wanting to join in  Scrolling through posts  Words from good hosts  Intentions of comfort, peace and encouragement  But I'm too weary to read  Ignoring their good deeds Convinced their words won't bring me peace  Fraught with disbelief  Could anything life-giving happen to me?  Awash [...]

Photographs

Photographs

Image by LEEROY Agency from Pixabay Photographs won't tell the whole story Behind smiles can lay trials Hidden crimes Served time And broken dreams. Photographs won't show you the heartache Sharp focus is hocus pocus Where truth lies  Behind twinkling eyes  And well pressed seams. However, photographs never tell us the ending  They don't predict [...]

Compelled By Love

Compelled By Love

(Photo credit goes to Pixabay.com user chulmin1700.) My heart wants to see you in heaven  Perhaps you think me a fool Yet, I pray we'll meet in paradise May your heart be a well where He reigns and rules. Is it silly I care? My priorities must change  Mine and my King's must became one [...]

Daily

Resisting  A world of distractions Rejoicing  In all that is right Remembering The gift that was given  Learning  To persevere through the night. Surrender Is still the [...]

Spring Break

Spring Break

Clearly I'm not on the ball with blogging. Scheduling isn't working well and I'm struggling to read and comment on posts.  Today's planned post will be delivered, apparently, at 7:30PM (Pacific Time) instead of 7:30AM. You'll be getting two posts today. That settles it. I need a full stop from blogging. I guess I'll get [...]

Wholly

Wholly

(Photo credit goes to Pixabay.com user JacksonDavid.) I won't chase mirages My soul's too thirsty for the truth Set my heart to flame Till I'm wholly consumed And if the earth should shake I'll be standing through and through I won't settle for tarnished trinkets I've found my treasure trove in You. Tina  April 29, [...]

Guidance

Guidance

(Photo credit goes to Pixabay.com user Mircealancu.) When I walk with You, Father, I feel like a child I'm still amazed that Your wonders never cease When I walk with You, Lord, I know that I'm yours As you take my small hand my worries are eased When I walk in the Spirit I'm at [...]

Living to Die

Living to Die

(Photo Credit goes to Yoal Desurmont.) I want to follow in Your footsteps, Lord I want my arms spread open wide  I want to love with grace and mercy And leave behind my foolish pride.  You took the thorns and scorned the shame You lead Your co-heirs to live this way To love the wretched, [...]
