Sharing the Journey

  More Than a Savior More than just a Savior He’s my Lord and my best friend The Son of God and Mary’s baby He’s the beginning and the end   He surrendered His life so that I might live He was beaten so that I could be whole He rose again and was seen by men His story is repeatedly told I once used Him to escape Hell’s fire He was my savior and nothing else But then I reached the end of me And realized I couldn’t save myself   Finally, I was ready for more Our relationship began to slowly progress Still, I withheld so much from Him But He wanted all of me and nothing less   I was still slow to make Him my Lord To truly give to Him my all But once again, I couldn’t do life alone My Savior I had to call   True to His faithfulness He heard and answered my cry Finally, He’s much more than a Savior to me I dare you to give Him a try.

Most people would not consider a “catch” in your side emergency room worthy, but if it was what I thought it was, I was in the right place. I explained to the nurse the pain or rather discomfort I was feeling and gave her a bit of my medical history. A pregnancy test was immediately ordered. Positive. Next step, a vaginal ultrasound. Yes...

Testimonies, prayers, and poetry. These three are my focus for May. Listening closely to the voice of God. Hearing to immediately obey.   Today is May first, and I must admit I’m off to a very rocky start I overslept then started playing games Though writing was on my heart   I had set my alarm and written my plan It was all laid out what to do But I got in bed last night much too late So my morning routine fell through   My alarm went off and I could smell the coffee It was time to rise and pray Instead I turned it off and said, “God understands.” And fell asleep again right away.   A second alarm soon sounded Yes, I set for myself three But I again said I just can’t make it And again I fell back asleep   Finally alarm three roused me I got up; couldn’t let this one pass Morning prayer was starting soon I had motivation to get up at last   After praying with my online group The day began to move super-fast I had to reschedule and realign so much I didn’t ...
