and Purposeful Prose
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 [...]
Don't be shy Tell the world you're alive You were fearfully and wonderfully made. You're the apple of God's eye He breathed into you life And He wants you to know that His love never fades. So don't be shy There'll be troubles in this life But He'll never leave Hold on to your faith! [...]

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.

This isn't an ordinary F(L)ight songs. However, how God met me--when I needed Him to meet me--wasn't ordinary either. Sometimes Jesus chooses to meet us halfway. It's wonderful that He plans ahead of time exactly what we'll need. I can forget, too easily, that He goes before us and He lovingly hems us in. "Lord, [...]
When did this load become so heavy? I've been picking up speed and gathering stones Forgetting the place I can set them all down. Ignoring the fact that I don't walk alone. Why do I try to solve all my problems? I get lost in a world of my doubts and my fears Forgetting Your [...]
We all need a Savior In the flesh hearts grow weak But God is our strength He's the anchor that we preach. We've all grasped for hope And grown faint on our knees Our heart becomes downcast When life becomes bleak Holding on by a thread We're held in His arms Fed in the desert [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
