Winter Warmth

Posted on September 1, 2014September 1, 2014 by Cara

Winter sweeps my soulFreezing me inside with all the what-ifs,Might-have-beens, and should-haves.The icy wind of regret would knock me off my feetIf I did not firmly grasp Your hand, Father God, offeringThe warmth of Your love, mercy, and forgiveness.

Psalm 23… Again

Posted on July 27, 2014July 27, 2014 by Cara

My Shepherd sweet Meets all my need, In pastures green, By quiet stream… Always. He heals my soul, Keeps my path whole, All for the sake Of His great name… Always. Though death draw near, I will not fear, For You’re my guide, Right by my side… Always. Your staff and rod Give strength, O […]

Morning Oblation

Posted on February 14, 2012May 10, 2012 by Cara

Each morning, Lord, I come over the hill and see The vista You’ve laid out for the day. Sometimes, it’s bright and sunny. Sometimes, it’s cloudy and overcast, But whatever it is, I am fascinated With the way You paint the landscape. The foggy mornings with a bit of sun, Peeking out between multi-colored clouds, […]

Wind and Fire

Upon reflection, I must disagree with you. The Spirit still comes with wind and fire To those who need His mighty touch, Whether we are babes or long in the faith. He is the I AM after all is said and done… Great in power, mighty in deed, Overwhelmingly here when He is manifestly present. I will […]

Sunshine

Today I feel like sunshine Though it’s cold and wet and gray. Inside my soul I feel fine Though the storms of life hold sway. It is odd but I can stand fast Feeling rest and grace and peace Never minding as I sail past Other ships and harbors’ ease. For the way of strength […]

It’s been a long, hard highway to this place And every step a battle in my soul. I am aware in longing for His face That only Jesus’ blood can make me whole.

Prayer

Posted on June 29, 2011June 29, 2011 by Cara

O God, who walks beside me, O LORD, who holds me up, Please, come now, lead and guide me. Please, fill my empty cup. I’m weak and I am lonely In darkness and in doubt, But You, the One and Only, Bring light to lead me out. Dear Father, take this off’ring— My sacrifice of […]

Shadows On The Water

Posted on December 2, 2010February 11, 2011 by Cara

I stand, anger in hand, covered in The tattered remains of my self-worth. The futility of banging my fist against The stone wall of another’s hostility and unforgiveness Leaves me breathless and beaten and worn, Wondering when, or if, things will change. No matter how big the anger or How hard the beating, Things remain […]
