When the
Lightening strikes
Rolling thunder threatens
I seek safety in the One who’s

Ultimate Love
Ultimate love
Sent down from above
Jesus, God’s own Son
Pure, sinless One
Upon a cross hung He
Christ who died for me
No words can convey
What He did that day
Syllabic Rhyme
Again
I worried
And wondered although
God said don’t
Syllable Lune
Sound familiar?
God says not to worry yet again I find myself doing so.
God says not to wonder about the future yet I often do that too.
Why do I do that?
He’s shown me time and time again that He’s trustworthy, that He’ll always be there for me, that He loves me and cares for me, and wants to heal me and give me an abundant blessed life, yet when a new problem arises I somehow find myself lapsing back into worry and wonder.
Ah, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” said Jesus (Matthew 26:41)
Forgive me God.
I love You and I am so happy that you love me and are patient with me.
…“Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief” Mark 9:24
Facing the Door of Doom
Fear envelopes like a wet blanket.
I shiver from cold thoughts filling my mind,
Flooding like a broken faucet,
Drowning me with anxiety.
I sit frozen with fear,
As darkness threatens.
Then light breaks thru,
My mind clears,
Jesus
Saves!

Name Above All Names
Yesterday
On a busy street
Set in stone
I saw You
A reminder for all time
That You’re with me

Yesterday as I was walking down a busy city street I looked down and saw the name Jesus had been written in one of the concrete blocks that made up the city sidewalk. That inspired me to stop and give thanks that He is with me wherever I go and that He can also be found anywhere, by anyone, at anytime
At Calvary
Soldiers on the way to Calvary
Just another day at Calvary
Roman law is in play at Calvary
Criminals will pay at Calvary
On crosses they will lay at Calvary
Crime they will slay at Calvary
Amongst the noisey fray at Calvary
Some kneel to pray at Calvary
For One sent to stay at Calvary
Is a King they say at Calvary
Son of God on display at Calvary
Father’s will to obey at Calvary
I honor Him today at Calvary
For He lives, Yay! at Calvary
Portrait of The Word
A Friend
Who never leaves
A Brother who sticks close
A Savior who died for me
Jesus
The Christ
The Way, Truth, Life
Redeemer of my soul
The Wisdom and Power of God
My All

Today’s #NaPoWriMo Prompt was to write a portrait poem about someone who was important to you. I wrote this about the One whom I love dearly.
It is a portrait of The Word based on:John 1:1, Matthew 11:19, Hebrews 2:11-12, Luke 2:11, Matthew 1:21, Matthew 22:42, John 14:6, Job 19:25, 1 Corinthians 1:24, Colossians 3:11
Ribbons of Life
Life’s
Ribbons
Teardrops flow
Pain overwhelms
Trials seem to grow
Hope slowly declines
The future looks so dim
Yet thru all these ribbons glows
The strong and sure symbol of Him
He nevers leaves us nor forsakes us

Yesterday I decided to do a watercolor tapestry of my life.
I planned to use different colors and drawings to represent my various life events. Well, not being an artist, the whole painting ended up looking like a timeline of colors with some childish doodle drawings. The one thing that stood out was a brown cross that I drew, however, the rest of it I knew I would need to redo.
The whole painting had a good message as I explained it, it just needed a better appearance.
So, this morning I had the thought to just wash the whole painting clean with water and start over, kind of like a new life, new beginning. So I did. I loaded my shammy with water and washed and rubbed. In the end most of the paint disappeared, some just faded and all the drawings washed away EXCEPT THE CROSS! Honest!
The Cross didn’t fade nor change at all! It did not erase thru all I did! All the other drawings were drawn with the same watercolor pencils as the Cross, and they all erased, but it did not! AMAZING!
It seemed God was speaking to me in this, telling me that nothing can ever erase the message of the Cross. That what Christ accomplished thru His death on the Cross will always remain and that if we believe and receive Him as our Savior and Lord He will never leave us nor forsake us.
This seemed so profound to me that I decided to name the new painting “Ribbons of Life” to represent that no matter what happens to us in our life, if we have believed and received Jesus as our Savior and Lord, He will always be there with us thru it all!
Lost in the Fog
Foggy Christmas Eve.
Needing a Daystar and Guide
To help find the Way.
Who will be my guiding Light?
Who’ll my Helper be,
In this world of dark and fright?
Lost in the darkness,
Crying out to the King on high!
He sends to earth His Prince of Peace.

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. –Jesus. John 12:46
The Call
Fighting the wind gusts
Swimming against the current
Called by Jesus
He said “Come, Follow Me”
“I will give strength, rest and peace”
