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.

 

Letting Go

There are times when it is difficult to let go. It is hard to let things go after holding onto them for a long time. When you finally do, it is as though a weight is being lifted off your shoulders.

Sometimes it takes a physical act to symbolize the letting go. It is important to step into a new stage of life, to leave the past behind in order to move forward into your future.

Watchman

I want to be an efficient watchman.

I want to lift people up.

I want to know when people are hurting.

I want to hold people close.
I want to cover them.

I want to listen for the sounds around me.
I want to have my perception heightened.

I want to fight for for what I believe in.

I don't want to sit and watch my life pass me by.

Fully Engaged

I desire to be fully engaged in all facets of my life. What does that mean to me you may ask? It means being fully connected to my surroundings; to my family and friends; to be fused together with my Heavenly Father and to gain my nourishment for my soul from His Word.

I become afraid when I become complacent.

I must realign myself and continually engage.

Hiding Place

You are there in my weakness.

You shelter me.

You are my peace.

You are my refuge.

Your gentle hand heals me.

Wrapping Yourself around me, I hide in Your safety.

Cover Me

Cover me with Your grace.

Cover me with Your mercies, afresh each day.

Shield me from the filth of this world.

Protect me.

Help me attack the tasks of life with fervor and precision.

Help me be acutely aware of my surroundings.

Cover me with the warmth of a blanket.

Cover me with Your Spirit.

Motivated

I am motivated to learn.

I am motivated to teach,
To give all of myself.

Why do people question me?

Why do they question my abilities?

I just want to assist people in achieving their goals and dreams.

I just want to be who I am supposed to be.

I just want to have my own relationships without any hindrances .

I just want to be who I am.

I don't understand it.
