What's that? Who's there? As I get up off my knees. Did you receive an invitation? Did you say, "Excuse me please?" You say the request came suddenly and there was no time for elegant replies. You knew Your presence was needed for gently drying the tears from my eyes. You say that I called out to... Sign in to see full entry.

What a day!
It's absolutely a gorgeous day! Started out at the extremely low (for us!) at 47 and has now warmed up to a sunny 60 degrees outside. We've had a girls day - church, manicures and pedicures and topping it off with Madagascar (it's cute!). We're getting ready to go out the door once again for choir.... Sign in to see full entry.
Someday
A shadow softly falls across my cheek, a tear glides gently down the same; overcome by feelings I cannot speak through the gentle wind You call my name. To see the pictures through Your verse the crown of thorns placed upon Your head; the shame, the ridicule, the pain could be no worse the weight of... Sign in to see full entry.
Food for Thought
Are you hungry and thirsty? To whom do you go? Listen carefully my friend, There are things you should know. I tell you the truth, pay attention and listen up. There is only one Path, Take and drink from His cup. He softly stated, "I am." Notice what He has said. No other way will do, of life, He is... Sign in to see full entry.
Why do You love me?
Why do You love me? What good could You possibly see in such a horrible creature, in a sinner such as me? I can't walk the straight and narrow, no matter how hard I try. I chase after all manner of sins, they so easily catch my eye. Why can't I focus directly on You? My heart does truly mean well;... Sign in to see full entry.

Looking for Purpose
Lord, what is it that You need from me? Which direction should I take? I want to further Your kingdom and place You in each decision that I make. Are You sure this is the way? What about the easier one? No? Then help me go willingly, and so joyfully - only Your will be done. I like that pretty door... Sign in to see full entry.

Sunshine and Rainbows
Thank You so much for all things, my heart states loud and clear; for both the troubles and the blessings to Your throne draws me near. Of the Shepherd's love and guidance each and every day should ask; also of His strength and mercy applied to each burden, goal or task. Instead of giving up or... Sign in to see full entry.
Special Parts
Eyes that see so many things from the very great to the very small; He sees the tears in my eyes those touch Him most of all. Ears that are always ready to hear the mightiest or the smallest plea. He hears my softly breaking heart and a gently whispered, "Set me free." Shoulders wide and mighty for... Sign in to see full entry.

Just a note
No poem at the moment but I wanted to say what a great sight this is. I'm not a professional writer - I'm a professional nurse but have always had a desire to write. Now in this 'season' of my life I have a moment here and there to grasp a pen and write a word or two. Without having a writing... Sign in to see full entry.

Early Morning
In the still of the morning I quietly seek Your face, outside Your creations begin to stir a few calm moments left in space. To curl up with Your Word and to seek Your loving way, Your guidance and Your strength both I'll need throughout my day. Soon family and friends my time will quickly fill....
