…Her smile…
…Her smile…
Wow, look at that.
That’s where it’s at,
Keeps me coming back.
The seal of her approval—
I love her too much,
To tolerate its removal.
I’d go through storm and rain,
In a car, by bus, take a plane, ride a train,
And yes, I’d even walk many a mile,
Just to see her smile.
:) …Her smile… :)

I like me…
I like me…
I like me.
I thank YOU, Father.
YOU are my anchor, my author.
I am a work in your hands.
The twinkle in my eyes,
The dimples that surprise,
My intelligence, my elegance,
My tint, my tone, my hair, my flair,
My prance, my dance,
My smile, my profile,
My care, my dare,
My hopes, my dreams,
My attitude, my gratitude,
My creativity, my proclivity,
My date with destiny,
I am a work in your hands.
YOU are my anchor, my author.
I thank YOU, Father.
I like me.
I like me…
The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy,
O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

My Confession…
My Confession…
I ain’t right—But HE is!
I’m flawed, and still yet, I’m awed—HE still loves me!
I stumble and I’m altogether humbled—HE keeps on keeping me!
I oft mess stuff up, but I’m grateful—HE corrects me…
I ain’t all that—but Oh, HALLELUJAH—I’m all HIS!
Thank Ya, JESUS! OH, GLORY HALLELUJAH!!!
I ain’t right—But HE is!
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Romans 7:24-25 – There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1
Tell the truth—You ain’t right either without HIM…

Dig in a lil’ deeper…
Dig in a lil’ deeper…
Broken dreams, broken bonds marked my way,
With hurt so bad there were no words to say.
I did all I could to make it through the day.
Bitterness stained my complexion.
Silence was my best expression.
Paralysis robbed me of direction.
Life—the whole thing was blurred.
But, one day Your word, I heard.
That day, my spirit, You stirred.
I prayed and I prayed and I prayed.
I sought Your word in the decisions I made.
You made me strong, wouldn’t let me fade.
Your love prompts my spirit to rejoice.
In praise to You, I lift my voice.
Now, no matter what, You are my choice.
Though troubles and trials abound,
Though enemies, on all sides, surround,
I’m determined to stand my ground.
I’m going to dig in a lil’ deeper,
Clinging to the ROCK I’ve found.
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

I thought we had more time…
I thought we had more time…
I had it all planned,
The details are, yet, etched in my mind.
We were going to do this and do that,
But, that dream has fallen flat.
All seemed to be going so well,
So I chose not to rush or make a fuss.
I just knew we had more time,
To live and to love as dear ones do.
To get together and do whatever,
Just as long as it was me with you.
But out of the blue, poof, you’re gone.
All I have left is a heart of regret,
And precious memories, I can never forget.
With your absence, my life’s rhythm—
Does not have the same rhyme.
Missing you, wishing you were here with me.
Yet, I know that just cannot be.
You had an appointment amid the stars,
Summoned into the presence of the God of glory.
It’s better for you to be where you are.
I just thought we had more time…
Beloved, let us be careful of saving for later,
For we never know when later might just be too late…
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. James 4:14

That Happy Place
That Happy Place
Beloved, I pray you’ll find your happy place. That place where the smile on your heart is the spring for the smile upon your face. That place of peace, that place of grace, that place of wisdom, that place of power, that leaves a trail of good others can trace.
That place where your joy drowns out your sorrows and despite all the difficulty you’ve experienced, you still got great hope for tomorrow. That place where stress stretches your hand, reaching up to your Heavenly Father, trusting HIM to help you overcome all this world’s bother.
That place where sweet love, pure love finds and refines you. That place where you feel adored, all you do prospers, and where life is much too interesting for you to ever be bored. That place where you know, you’re never alone, because with JESUS, you’ve found a forever friend and a permanent home.
Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord. Ps144:15
