Navigating the Unknown

Listen to me carefully
I will give you wisdom
I will guide you through the maze
Around every corner
When you have questions
I will answer them
When obstacles arise
I will assist you in solving them
When distractions become too much
I will refocus your eyes towards your goal
I will continue to deepen the connections that you have made
I will give you the ability to make new ones
I will reveal even more mysteries to you

Thankful

I am so thankful that I have You in my life
I don't know where I would be or what I would do without You
I would probably be in the dark pit of despair
I would be a very lonely person
You bring me a tremendous amount of joy and happiness 
When negative thoughts creep into my mind
The words on Your lips point me in the right direction
They bring me renewal and refreshment to both my spirit and my soul
You are the reason I live
You are the air I breathe
You are everything to me

The bridegroom and his bride

Here I am
I present myself to you, your beautiful bride
You are my handsome bridegroom
My love for you is steadfast
Your love for me is unconditional
I pour out my worship at your feet
You lavish your amazing grace upon me
Your well of fresh water overflows and is limitless
It supplies me with all that I need
The bond between you and I is eternal

Abide with me

I do not want to move from your presence
I want to abide in your stillness
I want to follow you where ever you go
I want to see and feel your manifest presence
I cannot contain myself any longer
I must tell everyone what you have taught me and all that I know
Your word is nourishment to my soul
You are so great and wonderful
I will praise you forever

An Intense Love

I know You are always with me.
I want to feel You in a tangible way.
There must be more.
Lately I've felt like I have been coasting through life,
But there is an urgency rising.
Salvation needs to come to our city
And it will come.
When I look around I see pain on people's faces.
Sometimes we believe we need to see huge miracles-
And I believe in those.
Other times it takes small gestures or acts of kindness
To share the intense love with people who surround us.

Bearing My Soul
I am the type of person who wears my heart on my sleeve.
I consider myself to be open minded.
In the past, I did not believe that what I had to say was important.
But now I am using my voice with confidence in a number of ways.
In my relationships I'm the type of girl who gives her all.
I do not like when I do things half way.
I realize that I may get hurt but I am willing to take that risk because I need that connection.
I am willing to embrace the opportunities in life.

Wisdom in Knowing

I dislike it when someone is just waiting for something to happen.
I recognize that patience is a virtue and should be exercised,
But sometimes you just have to run after something
And grab a hold of it
And not let it go.

Adventure Seeker

Adventure Seeker
I want to take risks.
I'm ready to see what's around the next corner.
I am waiting in anticipation.
There are times when I feel walls closing in on me.
But I push back against them.
When I try new things I feel invigorated.
I will try anything.
I am an adventure seeker.

Time and Time Again

I am tired of feeling as though I have to prove myself.
I am tired of placing high expectations upon myself.
I don't know why I do this.
It is sometimes compounded by others.
I don't know why I let it get to me.
It does not always happened.
I have to push my fears aside.
I know I am going in the right direction.
I just have to keep going.
I will arrive at my next destination and await the next move.
No matter how long it takes.

Human Relationships

The human relationship is a complex subject to discuss but I will do my best.
A human relationship is a mutual friendship.
Human relationships are unbreakable bonds.
At the same time they can be severed quickly.
We are social beings.
We long for that human connection.
That tangible touch.
That feeling of intimacy.
We need human relationships in order to survive.

Where are You ?

As I roam through the darkness, the blackness of the night envelops me.
I stretch out my arm to grasp at any object that I can.
I feel a call rising within me.
Where are You ?
Where are You, Can You hear me?
 
I cannot bear to see her suffering anymore.
Yes, I can hear you my daughter.
Even though, you cannot always see Me.
I am standing right next to you.
Take my hand and I will guide you through.

Growth Spurt

Walls are falling down within me.
At this time in my life I feel as though I am in the midst of a growth spurt.
In the past I have allowed my disability to prevent me from doing things but not anymore.
I find myself attempting to accomplish tasks that I have not done before.
There are times when I come up against obstacles, other times I am growing at an accelerated rate.
I am finally working on myself and it feels great.
I am attempting to soak in everything that I am learning.

Celebrating Women

I had a unique opportunity that came my way recently.
I celebrated international women's day with a diverse group of women.
It was an honour for me to attend.
It was fascinating to hear the various stories of these women.
Whenever I attend this type of an event, I feel energized.
I feel alive.
I feel empowered.
I feel that I am right where I am supposed to be in that moment.
I have to admit, it was a little overwhelming but not in an uncomfortable way.
We were all able to share our stories with one another, no matter our diversity.
I could feel the acceptance and togetherness in the room.
