His timing

Do not resent the sky for changing
Do not begrudge time for not remaining still
The clouds are blown
                                   Your heart is known.
Let me see the beauty in change, let me trust His timing.

Faith and Doubt

Faith consists in the acceptance of doubts, the working through them, rather than the repression of them (38). -Madeline L'Engle, The Arm of the Starfish

Meeting Faith

A Christian is someone who knows one. If I have faith, it is because I have met faith, I have seen it in action (32). -Madeline L'Engle, The Arm of the Starfish

Intercessor on their knees

"The intercessor on his knees is the channel for God's healing love to a broken world."-Erwin Prange

Hope is a stronghold

Hope for the future

Lifted from the stupor

No more numbness

Deafness, dumbness

Life in every ventricle and vein

Loving Hope our new refrain

As the sun rises and awakens sight

Radiance of Son’s bright light

We come alive

Our souls revived 

We get a new start 

A stronghold of hope inside Your heart 

New year’s surrender

Surrender weights of the decade 

Shedding what I don’t need

Guilt and fear;

To be fully alive,

Free

Radiating confidence in the goodness

Of my God unseen 

You Came

You couldn’t be kept from inhabiting flesh

And entering the beautiful mess

You yearned for that day

Willingly gave your rights away

With great, exceeding joy 

Born as a human boy

And exhumed the latent role

Of taking back all the enemy stole

On that night all of heaven exclaimed

The King has come to reclaim!

From a little boy you grew

In stature and wisdom as a Jew 

To a man of sorrows who stood

In the depths of human pain, understood 

Taught and spoke such truth with love

Ate and drank and laughed thereof

How people were drawn to your side

Never was a man so fully alive 

Never fearing or doubting the One

Who sent you to show His compassionate love

For such a joy set before you

You drank the cup we were due

And how you loved being among us

Not disdaining our weakness

Full acceptance, words so gracious 

Calling forth our truest essence 

Setting every captive free

To know you, be known and see

Yeshua—- so worthy of worshipping 

Your coming changed everything
