Rock of Refuge

Chief Kiawanda Rock in Pacific City, Oregon

Overwhelmed

Just too much to do

In deep waters

Near drowning

In need of a helping hand

To help me overcome

Shadorma

…when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:2

Field Flowers

Field of Daises
Don’t worry, go forth

Dressed in His finery.

Flowers of the field

Clothed in His great splendor

Far greater than Solomon

Tanka

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. Matthew 6:28-29

Treasures of the Heart

Treasures of the Heart
Moth and rust corrupt

Thieves break in and do steal

Treasures on earth

Surely decay and vanish 

So dont be decieved

Lay up treasures in heaven 

They’ll last eternally

For where your heart is focused

There your treasure shall be

Choka

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:19-21

Fruitful

White Daisy, Joy
I’m seeking to live 

A life that shows forth joy

In all circumstances

Filled with the Christ’s fragrance

And the fruit of His Spirit

Tanka

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22,23

Job’s Question

FEAR

Afraid?

What is “the thing”?

What is the “that” in you

Which is so big it causes such

Great Fear?

Wonder if someday it suddenly

Becomes real and comes?

What will you do?

Panic?

Or Pray?

What will you do?

Will you fight or just freeze?

Will you crumble in trepidation?

I know

What i would do because it’s come.

And I am trusting God

To remove it

From me.

Job 3:25–“For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.”
