Overwhelmed and Overtaken

I sat there overwhelmed with fear

Badgering and bickering was all I could hear.

Silence pursued me to where

I was overtaken

By the oil of your presence flowing over me

That very oil was setting me free

Being poured as from a pitcher

In a steady stream

Flowing fast and furious

Like it would never end

I found peace in the flow

How, I did not know

Overwhelmed and overtaken

To a place I’ve never known.

The Little Things

I wrote this in 2016 one day when I was meditating on my relationship with the Lord. I’ve probably posted it but I felt I should post it again. The little things that go on between me and Him makes my life worth while because He is always there for me to keep me going in the right direction-even when my flesh wants to take me the wrong way. I’m forever grateful to my Lord for all He does for me.

The little things no one can see

The little things between you and me

The little things you point out

Only for you and me to see

You guide me to and fro

Whisper in my ear

Only for me to know

When to stay and where to go

The little things

Mean more each day

The little things that you say

Keeping me straight so I won’t stray

The little things I see and hear

Let me know you love me

Each and every day

You guide me along my way

The little things no one can see

The little things between you and me

The little things, the way you lead

Only for you and me to see

Easter Past

As I was driving home today, the calm peaceful atmosphere took me back to Easter when I was a child.

I remember we would spend the afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Pickles, friends of my mother enjoying an afternoon ride.

We spent the morning celebrating Easter at church performing in the Easter play we practiced for many days.

After having an Easter parade through the neighborhood with our friends, we ate the delicious dinner my mother made and then we were ready for our Sunday drive.

We lived in a small town bordering to different states-Kentucky and West Virginia. That day we travelled country roads and little towns until we were at the state line to West Virginia. We went back on different country roads and little towns. Mr. Pickles knew a lot of ways to get around.

The weather was pleasantly warm and breezy. The trees and beautiful flowers were in full bloom. There was excitement in the calmness of the atmosphere. That was exactly what I felt today driving home.

Did today bring back any childhood Easter memories for you?

Melania Leads the Way

Today I am posting an article written by a friend of mine. She wrote about her observation of The National Prayer Service and how she was touched by what she saw.

January 22, 2017

This has been a monumental week in the history of our country. While the people danced the night away…while the analysts examined every nuance… while the women rioted to give away their dignity and their freedoms… I watched.

It was quite a spectacle, full of rash promises and elation and despair and vitriol and wisdom. So much information. So much warfare.

And yet, for me, the most poignant moment came at a little publicized event… The National Prayer Service. The ceremony had been quite dull. Ponderous religiosity seeped through the musty air.

And then, a young blind girl with cerebral palsy sang “How Great Thou Art.” before our new President.

I sang along; the majestic old hymn rang out sweet and true.

And as the girl finished, Melania stood up.

In front of the esteemed dignitaries… In front of the lofty clergymen called to perform before our new President… she stood.

She didn’t care. She wiped away a tear and applauded.

One by one, those esteemed dignitaries… those lofty clergymen… began to rise and clap with her.

She didn’t take notice. She didn’t blink. Finally, she sat, and turning to her husband she said, “Wow.”

This woman is destined for greatness in the Kingdom. It is said she carries an Esther spirit. And I just believe that I saw her step into her new call this Saturday. I saw God put his hand out, bid her come… and she said yes. This is going to be an amazing 4 years.

How Great Thou Art

Oh Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds
Thy hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed

Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

And when I think of God,
His son not sparing,
Sent Him to die,
I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden
gladly bearing He bled and died
to take away my sin

Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
With humble adoration
And then proclaim My God
How great Thou art

Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
