His Voice in my Ear

Look up, My child, 

look up 

you need to be guided, 

to be known 

don't give up, 

I love you 

I'm making you a home. 

Far beyond the stars

yet closer than your heart 

to your self

I'm not unreachable. 

Just make a move towards Me, 

and you'll find 

I've been here, 

the whole time. 

I'm doing great things, 

beautiful things, 

wonderful things, 

for you. 

Look up, My child, look up, 

I know you. 

we are all a thing of beauty...
made for more than this earth...

A Thing of Beauty 

(Endymion) 

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: 

Its loveliness increases; it will never 

Pass into nothingness; but still will keep 

A bower quiet for us, and a sleep 

Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing 

A flowery band to bind us to the earth, 

Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth 

Of noble natures, of the gloomy days, 

Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkn'd ways 

Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all, 

Some shape of beauty moves away the pall 

From our dark spirits. 

Such the sun, the moon, 

Trees old and young, sprouting a shady boon 

For simple sheep; and such are daffodils 

With the green world they live in; and clear rills 

That for themselves a cooling covert make 

'Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest brake, 

Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms: 

And such too is the grandeur of the dooms 

We have imagined for the mighty dead; 

An endless fountain of immortal drink, 

Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink. 

John Keats 

The Impossible Will Happen

Nada es imposible para Dios. 

"Jesus le dijo >>al hombre es imposible, pero no para Dios, porque todas las cosas son posibles para Dios.<<
Marcos 10:27

Even while you're waiting for God to lead, 

you can enjoy the process! 

Here is a picture of me in Colombia, Bogota-area, 

blown away by the way my DTS leader got blown away by this mean old cow! 

Kathryn got to her before I could pet her=-P

Then I decided "Maybe the best course of action is

to NOT pet the seemingly nice cow." 

Ode to...a Cow 

It is safe to say I can appreciate the cow

but only from the distance my conscience will allow. 

She deceived us all with her friendly nature 

but hiding 'neath the spots is a devilish creature. 

She lowers her head 

and bowls people over--

But looks so innocent 

when she's munching the clover. 

Seriously, though, nothing is impossible with God. 

If He wants you somewhere, you're going to be there. 

It doesn't matter how insecure you FEEL about it--

Christ is stronger than our hearts

stronger than our feelings. 

We may be inadequate, but Jesus is more than adequate. 

So I encourage you to trust Him, 

even if you're not sure

whether to go or stay. 

learn to love the rain

because the rain makes you grow 

i love it when the sun shines though=-D

a song for help in troubled waters, written one year ago today

April 19, 2014

You fill me with confidence.

You fill me with peace.

You wrap Your arms about me when every man in sight is gone,

When life is tormented and there is no song,

When the dance is a lie

And the move a desire;

When the world is a cold place devoid of fire;

When all is bleak and dim and sad

When I feel like one thing would make me glad;

And I stumble here

And I find there’s no one else

Only a bloody, running tear

Dropping down from the splintery cross;

I reach for You

But I find You gone

Away from the misery,

Yet in my midst still

As much as I promise,

As much as I will,

There is no victory for me alone.

I cannot win

At Your cross I bow

But I cannot stay there and weep;

Now the light is coming,

Oh Lord wake me up

Shake me

Break me

From the earthly sleep.

Take me, Lord,

Humble me low,

So I will drink the heavenly flow;

Lead me on, from this torturous symbol

The cross, and the pain, and the fears

That crumble.

Jesus,

Only

Jesus

True

Jesus, You love me

When lovers are few;

And the darkness is coming

And I feel the world groan

And I know, in an instant

I’ll be going on home.

Take me,

Transform me!

This body isn’t me;

I know I will find You in eternity…

And there, fully known,

I will recognize You

what a glorious view!

Finally,

No worry

So hold me, I  cry

Fill me with peace, in Your arms, while the song

of Your confident love

pours on and on…

forever and a day, forever and a thousand years!

You’ll be the One who dries my tears.

So when you feel the cold, when the fire dies

Bask in the Son

And let your spirit rise.
