Soaking
January 8, 2013
I’ll soak in your thoughts
Remember the things you say
Write them on my heart
Please light the flame in my soul
Let it burn for you today
I will enter your throne room
In quiet and wait for you
I am so slow to hear you
You words are simple
I’ll act on your words
Reflect, only you are God
I’ll light the candle of hope
Receive your mercy
Accept your peace in the storm
Receive your gentle presence
Gratitude fills me
I choose to believe the truth
He’s stored life for me
In the sight of all mankind
My cup overflows with love
“The words I speak are Spirit”
His words are light to my soul
I believe them like a son
Holding Father’s hand
Going out not knowing
Trusting He will lead the way

Looking back I see
Devastating decisions
That were destructive
My own and others
Forgiveness is what’s needed
Who is willing to give
Can my tears be seen
Are the cries of my heart heard
Looking back I know
In the stillness of the night
I heard a gentle whisper
“You are forgiven”
These words were sweet to my ears
Rooted in reality
There’s a place of rest
Where I found joy in the storm
The calm that brings certainty

light breaks through darkness

There were feelings of no hope
I sank in despair
In silence I ceased striving
Be quiet, be still; love comes
~
Real truth is experienced
It cuts through to all levels
The mind, heart and soul reflected
Light breaks through darkness
There is a secret
Where a person does begin
The first step is just simply
Be responsible
For how you think and act
You will find the right questions
I have learned life is not fair
I have no control of you
I will decide who I’ll be
I choose to be kind

Begin being still
July 28, 2009

Good conversation
Is what I look for each day
Begin being still
This helps me become aware
Of a larger loving voice
I’ve discovered that my eyes
Are the windows to my heart
My mind will give direction
In the “morning watch”
Temptations will come
To take advantage of me
So I’ll guard my eyes
I’ll choose the focus
Many voices are calling
Anxiety knocks
Fear of the future
And the many ways harm comes
Can rob me of the now
“As iron sharpens iron”
We each sharpen the other
Let us consider
And look for the perspective
That is the reality
Where are you focusing now?

seek wisdom

Educate yourself
Your responsibility
To use your mind well
You can be real smart
And ignorant at the same time
Information helps
True information, that is
Every human can see
Given safety and good time
You’ll figure life out
There will come a time
In the life of all of us
You will know if you got it
Looking back you’ll see
The decisions that you made
Were right for you or wrong
So I hope you’ll look ahead
Seek wisdom with all your heart
Make insight your greatest goal
Sixty-seven years of life
I am still learning a lot
Surprised by the joy
Discover joy
