The List – Turned Around
The list I held in my hand grew longer with each moment I sat in the car. I was about to walk into the store and tried to think of anything that did not make it on the list. I sensed anxiety trying to make its way up from my stomach into my heart as […]

In HIM
Creation begs to explore the Creator. It speaks of Him who made it. God has given us the privilege to explore the Universe. He has also given us the ability to plummet into the deep crevasses of the details right in front of our eyes. If we are in Christ, then no matter where we […]

Seize the Moment
The morning sun Sweet rays of light Time on the run On these paths bright Wish time could stand But moments pass Right through my hand They do not last Help me to see Your will and path Where I should be Seize moments fast The sun soon sets Then nighttime’s here I can’t […]

Jesus
A longing great as oceans wide A hunger nagging deep inside A fire which I cannot hide Jesus ~ A note my heart-beat longs to drum A song my life-song aches to hum A hopeful tune my heart strings strum Jesus ~ A thirst for love I’ve never known A need for care no one […]

Stuck
I had good intentions not to get stuck this time. Then it happened again, right there between the pages of the Old Testament. I was finding myself unable to move forward. I prayed “God, I don’t understand You.” It was difficult to read every morning, and I was getting farther and farther from the goal […]

No Ordinary Fragrance
It was still very early in the morning when I walked out of the dense woods into the open field. The fragrance of sweet summer flowers greeted me. It was strong and encouraged me to stand still and enjoy the moment, let my senses awaken. I looked all over the ground and into the meadow, […]

Made to Shine
Week after week I dust and shine, Pick up what’s left behind. I mop and clean things that aren’t mine, Scrub stains which I can find. ~ One by one, I clean your rooms, Throw trash out you don’t need, Clean up dishes, use my broom, Wash windows – help you see. ~ But there’s […]

Voices
“Your work is trash.” “Your light is dim.” “Your words are rash.” “You cause is grim.” ~ “Your friends you drained.” “Your kids are pale.” “Your spouse is faint.” “Your heart is frail.” ~ Who speaks these words Which closely stick To heart and mind And make me sick? ~ Did God speak them? No! […]

Provisions
The tiniest of creature You see. You are intimately acquainted with its way. You speak through Your creation. You show Your ways through brilliant glimpses. In my quiet search for You, I find peace and rest. In my wonder about Your creation, I gain wisdom and understanding. In my faithful observing, I find Your miracles […]
