O Lord, You are my Shepherd; Because of You, I lack nothing. You make me rest in the green center of Your will; You lead me to still, life-giving water. You restore my emotional equilibrium; You show me the way of right living For Your name’s sake. Yes, Jesus, even when I am walking through […]
Not the Circumstances
Sometimes You sleep when the wind and waves crash over me. I wonder in my unbelief if I will be overwhelmed, Because I am staring at the fury instead of at Your face. Yet, I know in my heart of hearts that I can trust You. It is only when I forget that I falter… […]
Sweet Sleep
Sweet sleep come greet me soon Before my mind wanders overmuch. Let the still night hours wrap my thoughts Till peace and quiet reign again, and My body finds comfort in my familiar bed. Let the angels fill my dreams with more… More You, Lord… more grace, Father… More rest, Holy Spirit, in Your habitations […]

New Life!
The seeds of discontent go deep inside me. I am restless, unsatisfied and no circumstance matters. The status quo has grown old and stale, and I am so, so weary of the same traditions Regurgitated in far too many different ways So they are palatable to the masses. New life should be new LIFE!!! We’ve […]

During some training at work, we were assigned the task of writing something about ourselves using the general criteria Ms. Lyon used. I’m not sure I really stuck with the actual assignment too well, but I felt that the […]
