Waiting and Trusting

If God says yes to our prayer, dear heart,
And the sunlight is golden, the sky is blue,
While the smooth road beckons to me and you,
And songbirds are singing as on we go,
Pausing to pick the flowers at our feet,
Stopping to drink of the streams that we meet,
Happy, more happy, our journey will grow,
If God says yes to our prayer, dear heart.

If God says no to our prayer, dear heart,
And the clouds hang heavy and dull and gray;
If the rough rocks hinder and block the way,
While the sharp winds pierce us and sting with cold;
Yet, dear, there is home at the journey's end,
And these are the trials the Father does send
To draw us as sheep to His Heavenly fold, If Go says no to our prayer, dear heart.


"Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him" (Ps. 37:7)



When the frosts are in the valley,
And the mountaintops are gray,
And the choicest blooms are blighted,
And the blossoms die away,
A loving Father whispers,
"This all comes from my hand";
Blessed are you if you trust
When you cannot understand.

If, after years of toiling,
Your wealth should fly away
And leave your hands all empty,
And your hair is turning gray,
Remember then your Father
Owns all the sea and land;
Blessed are you if you trust
When you cannot understand.

Just a few poems that touched my heart, as well as, a verse that God is speaking to me!!!

Unworthy and Undone

Today is one of those days when i don't know what to write but i know that God is showing me so much that i have to write. So I am just going to just write what God has been saying:

"Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him. O people of Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, you Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. Your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left."

Isaiah 30:18-21

I am weak and make mistakes all the time... I am completely unworthy to be called a child of God, yet i am . God has chosen to be gracious to me and every time i remember that i feel so unworthy and undone. Humbled is the word. Why has He chosen me. I would have given up on my so long ago. But He wont let me go... Whatever He wants from me He can have. My spirit and flesh are constantly at war, but i know that in the end Christ will have the victory. I pray that I will fulfill what He has planned for me and He will be blessed and glorified by it!!

Come Away with Me!

Come with me by yourselves and rest awhile,
I know you're weary of the stress and throng,
Wipe from your brow the sweat and dust of toil,
And in My quiet strength again be strong.

Come now aside from all the world holds dear,
For fellowship the world has never known,
Alone with Me, and with My Father here,
With Me and with My Father alone.

Come, tell Me all that you have said and done,
Your victories and failures, hopes and fears.
I know how hardened hearts are wooed and won;
My choicest wreaths are always wet with tears.

Come now and rest; the journey is too great,
And you will faint beside the way and sink;
The bread of life is here for you to eat,
And here for you the wine of love to drink.

Then from fellowship with you Lord return
And work till daylight softens into even:
Those brief hours are not lost in which you learn
More of your Master and His rest in Heaven.
