  • Seasons Change

    One of the things we can be certain about in life is that seasons will change…and that can be exciting or challenging, sometimes both. Thinking of our changing seasons inspired this: “Seasons Change” When temps cool down and fall sets in,The winds rise up, the leaves descend,The fog arrives, it seems so strange,But it’s just…

  • Seek & Find

    I’ve spent much of life just seeing and responding, stepping forward quickly based on my own understanding. And I do that fully knowing that the Lord wants me to seek and find Him in those moments, and to bring Him into each of my situations. This poem is about doing what the Lord wants me…

  • Trust

    In this season of my life, I’ve been stepping forth in faith without much clarity as to where the path is taking me.  So I’m trusting while stepping, fully believing the Lord will make my paths straight in accordance with His plans for me: “Trust” I’m looking ahead, unsure of the path,But trusting in God…

    I pause and pray so much more today than in the past, to address my anxiety, to share my burdens, to ask for guidance, to seek God’s will, or just to share my joy.  In that time of prayer, in knowing that I’m not alone and in believing that my hope and strength come from…

  • Qualified

    I stepped back just recently from the things I’ve spent a lifetime trying to be good at, because I felt the Lord asking me to focus on Him this time. The enemy immediately attacked with, “Why in the world would you think you are qualified to do that”, which hit right at the heart of…

  • My Rock

    In a world with so much hysteria and uncertainty, we can step forth with trust and confidence, knowing we have refuge and strength in our Rock, knowing we have the certainty in Jesus that we long for, and knowing that God is with us and for us in whatever we may face: “My Rock” He…
