Thou art the Lord who slept upon the pillow
Thou art the Lord who soothed the furious sea
What matters beating wind and tossing billow
If only we are in the boat with Thee
Hold us in quiet through the age long minute
While Thou art silent and the wind is shrill
Can the boat sink while Thou, dear Lord, are in it?
Can the heart faint that waiteth on Thy will?

Thoughts As I Sit At His Feet......
Welcome my dearest friends and family!
Well, here goes! *smiles* I was challenged by a friend to take the time I have, as I recently have not been able to work due to health complications, and begin a blog, writing daily as God teaches me. This for my own growth and to challenge and encourage the body. For why should a trial of health keep me from proclaiming my Jesus? Yet that is just what is so easy...to focus on pity and self. No more, sweet Lord!!!!
Herein, you will find simply musings as I sit at the feet of my Beloved Savior. Honestly, I am astounded as to why one would find interest in the thoughts of one such as I, but it is in mortal flesh - filthy, putrid, disgusting, unworthy, helpless, unable mortal flesh the the life of Jesus Christ is manifested and made known...to the body and to the world! So it is for His glory that I write. And for my deepening...my mere longing to know Him, to understand a little more and a little more who He is and who I am in Him and the mystery of His glory and grace...this is why I will write. So, you may see thoughts wander as I try sorting out truths and Scriptures and things He teaches me. You may see my failures, my faults, my doubts, my hopes, my questions. This is scary, and hard, for me...being vulnerable. You see, i want you to approve, my wretched flesh does.....yet I cannot be seen and manifest Christ all at the same time. My heart and passion long for my thoughts and writings to lead me deeper and deeper into HIS heart, and you at my side!! So I will let Him peel away myself and I pray that together, we will begin to see Jesus, only Jesus. Be patient with me??? Thanks friend!
that we may know Him.....
