Life would be so simple
if we just would
keep seeking things above
and reaching out with HIS love
Life would be so simple
if we would keep first things first
then everything would be
so clear as we could see
beyond the shadows
as our trust daily grows in Thee!!!
“But seek first HIS kingdom, and HIS righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you as well (Matthew 6:33).”
Life is all about FAITH, the FAITH of a mustard seed that it takes to move a mountain.
Life is all about learning to TRUST, learning to trust HIS hand to lead and guide us.
Life is all about PEACE, the peace that comes from keeping a quiet heart and being devoted to HIM no matter what occurs around us.
Life is all about LOVE, loving God first, seeking HIM daily, and then reaching out and loving others as we follow in HIS steps.
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20-21).”
“Therefore, Be imitators of God as dearly loved children, and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God (Ephesians 5:1-2).”
…but that’s what girl’s do!!!
They dream
They desire
They love
to inspire
A girl’s heart is fragile
It must be handled with care
Not thrown around
by someone who doesn’t dare
to take the risk
to explore
the depth
of her inner core
a girl thinks long
a girl thinks hard
I know it sounds CRAZY
but guys,
That’s just what girls do!!!
I feel like I could fall
for a guy like you
I feel like I could fall
these feelings are so true
I feel like I could fall
I think you feel it too
I feel like I could fall
but my heart is guarded still
and I wait with faith and patience
for His holy, perfect will
I feel like I could fall
so in love with you
so I keep my eyes upon HIM
to do only what HE can do!!!
It’s all about the journey
all about the climb
this becomes more apparent
more and more
all of the time
It’s all about the journey
the one we take with YOU
always pushing forward
as our strength is daily renewed
It’s all about the journey
all about the climb
through the trials and insane times
they keep you traveling on
It’s all about the journey
and what HE does within
to keep our faith alive
because only then do we begin
to see straight past the trials
the challenges that may be
pushing us ever further
to place our trust in THEE
It’s all about the journey
all about the climb
one day we’ll see so clearly
HIS faithful hands
that guide us onward
toward Eternity!!!
(It is through the journey where we learn to rely fully on HIM for every next step in life. Life is a journey, a journey that takes faith, faith that is an unutterable trust in God, a trust which never dreams that HE will not stand by us through it all. It is through the journey that we learn to keep HIS perspective!!!)
I am safe
wrapped in His arms
lost in a divine romance
trusting in the ONE
who has never let me down
reaching out to HIM
but at the same time
bowing down
in love
and in awe
HE is my refuge
HE is my strength
my everlasting help
when all else fades away
I am safe
when I look to HIM
when I take HIS hand
when I feel HIS grasp
I know
I can do all things
for my life is
safe
within HIS
outstretched arms!!!
“He who dwells in the shelter of the MOST HIGH, will rest in the shelter of the ALMIGHTY. I will say of the LORD, HE is my refuge and strength, my GOD in whom I trust (Psalm 91:1-2).”
All of life, especially the best things, require us to step out of our comfort zones and walk by faith….and you are to rejoice before the LORD your GOD in everything you put your hand to (Deuteronomy 12:18). God does not want us to be afraid, but to trust HIM although things might seem scary at first. He never said it would be easy, especially new relationships, but He promises to be with us and guide us through it all!!!
I feel like I could fall
for someone I’ve never met
only talked to
only emailed
only one thousand miles away
I feel like I could fall
but I know I must guard my heart
to wait with patience
and faithfully
serve the LORD
He has given me dreams
and abilities
I want to be used
for Him so fully
but I feel like
I so
want to share
it with this person
I love it when we talk
to hear his voice
as he says my name
I am glad we can do this
from a thousand miles
apart
if we ever meet
then it will be so sweet
no matter what happens
because he will be a gift from heaven!!!
(Dedicated to someone who will remain nameless)

I’m leaning on YOU
It is something I must do
to look in your eyes
to gaze at your face
to reach for your hand
because you help me stand
I’m leaning on YOU
and all that is true
as things in my life
are so very new
I’m leaning on YOU
because you’re what I need
and all that I want
is to follow your lead
I’m leaning on YOU
cause you’ve been the same
never changing
and I will remain
connected to YOU
as I learn to trust you anew
I’m leaning on YOU
as I press onward
with my eyes straight ahead
and my feet moving forward
I’m leaning on you!!!
“I will tell of the kindnesses of the LORD; the deeds for which HE is to be praised, according to all the LORD has done for us (Isaiah 63:7). This is how you guided your people to make for yourself a glorious name. They were given rest by the SPIRIT of the LORD. Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who WAIT for HIM. YOU come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways (Isaiah 64:4-5). Yet, O LORD, YOU are our Father, we are the clay, YOU are the potter; we are all the work of your hands (Isaiah 64:8).”
Amen!!!
The affection I have for you
makes it hard for me to sleep
I can’t stop thinking
about the possibilities
I pray my heart will be still
that I would rest and chill
the affection I have for you
is deeply running still
I hope and pray
we connect again soon
my heart is racing
and if it had wings
it would soar
the affection I have for you
is a wonder and so new
I think you like me to
which makes this
so real and so true
the affection I have for you
stems out of that
which you have for me
I cannot wait to see
where He takes us from here!!!
