Other.

never forget the power of words. something said in jest, if not received in jest, is still your fault. while we have the responsibility to forgive 70x7, we must also ask for forgiveness far more often.

a poem i wrote about nature and nurture.

product.

for carol.

Morning by morning I wake up to find
The power and comfort of God's hand in mine
Season by season I watch Him, amazed
In awe of the mystery of His perfect ways
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He's always been faithful to me.

I can't remember a trial or a pain
He did not recycle to bring me gain
I can't remember one single regret
In serving God only, and trusting His hand
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He's always been faithful to me.

This is my anthem, this is my song
The theme of the stories I've heard for so long
God has been faithful, He will be again
His loving compassion, it knows no end
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He's always been faithful, 
He's always been faithful
He's always been faithful to me.

He's Always Been Faithful

Fine.

i didn't hit all the notes, and i was certainly wobbly in some parts, but i listened to this song all day yesterday (1 January 2017)and i figured i ma as well share it, however imperfect [: song written and performed by phil wickham featuring madison cunningham. lyrics below:

Where will you run, my soul?
Where will you go when wells run dry?
When the wind starts to blow
How you gonna keep this flame alive?

In the fading light when night is breaking
I know You will always be waiting
You'll always be there

I'm running to the secret place
Where You are, where You are
I sing to You of all the ways
You stole my heart, stole my heart

Better is a moment that I spend with You
Than a million other days away
I'm running, I'm running
I'm running to the secret place

You are my only hope
You are the Rock on which I stand
You will not let me go
I know that I am safe inside Your hands

In the fading light when night is breaking
I know You will always be waiting
You'll always be there

I'm running to the secret place
Where You are, where You are
I sing to You of all the ways
You stole my heart, stole my heart

Better is a moment that I spend with You
Than a million other days away
I'm running, I'm running
I'm running to the secret place

Hands are lifted high, hearts awake to life
We are satisfied here with You, here with You
Chains will hit the floor, broken lives restored
We couldn't ask for more here with You, here with You

I'm running to the secret place
Where You are, where You are
I sing to You of all the ways
You stole my heart, stole my heart

Better is a moment that I spend with You
Than a million other days away
I'm running, I'm running
I'm running to the secret place

The Secret Place (cover)

so, i'm not posting text, but i can at least post a cover [: it's been a while. 'Dream of You' 

all i do the whole day through
is dream of you.
with the dawn i still go on
dreaming of you.
you're every thought,
everything;
every song i ever sing.
summer, winter, autumn, and spring.

furthermore the twenty four hours a day
may be spent in sweet content
dreaming away.
when skies are gray,
skies are blue;
morning, noon, and nighttime, too.
all i do
the whole day through
is dream of you.

Dream Of You

i just want to read my stories aloud to you. i hope you enjoy them!
